Make a Friend Day

    Make a Friend Day on February 11 is an unofficial holiday that encourages people to stop and take stock of their friend list and make new friends.

Humans are social animals and we need friends to feel fulfilled and happy. But sometimes in the daily rush of our lives not only do we tend to ignore our old friends, but we also forget to make new friends. Make a Friend Day inspires people to step out their comfort zone and try to meet new people and become friends with them.

More Tolerant

Making new friends can help people broaden their horizons and learn about different cultures and parts of the society. Research has shown that people with diverse group of friends are more tolerant, open to new ideas, and empathetic than people who have a small or a non-diverse group of friends.

FYI…

Studies have shown that on average people will remain long-term friends with 1 out of every 12 people they consider to be friends?

Stuffed Mushroom Day

    February 4 is Stuffed Mushroom Day. Also known as National Stuffed Mushroom Day, this made-up holiday clearly encourages people to make and consume lots and lots of stuffed mushrooms.

     A popular party dish, stuffed mushrooms are made by removing the stems and stuffing the resulting hollow space with meat and vegetable filling. Stuffed mushrooms are usually savory and are typically sprinkled with breadcrumbs and cheese and baked before being served.

  While mushrooms are botanically neither fruits or vegetables, in many parts of the world, they are considered safe for vegetarians to consume and are often considered to be a meat substitute.

What To Do

• Make a huge batch of stuffed mushrooms and have them for all your meals of the day. Start will egg and bacon stuffed mushrooms for breakfast, have sausage stuffed mushrooms for lunch, and end the day with sweet potato and parmesan stuffed mushrooms.
• Host a stuffed mushrooms party. Have your guests bring their favorite stuffed mushrooms to share.

FYI…

Person or an animal who eats mushrooms and fungi for nutrition is called a mycophagist?
