National Deviled Egg Day is an odd one for this time of year. I think most of us associate deviled eggs with summer picnics and food poisoning. I dont know any restaurants in Seattle that have them on the menu so youll have to fix them at home. Sign the petition to make today a Federal Holiday in honor of Cookie Monsters Birthday. Well end things on a somber note with Plan Your Epitaph Day and All Souls Day. Think about how you want to be remembered as you remember those who came before you.
