Hagfish Day – Third Wednesday in October

Hagfish Day – Third Wednesday in October observed annually, to encourage everyone to look beyond the exterior look of the Hagfish and appreciate.

The classification of hagfish has been controversial. The issue is whether the hagfish is a degenerate type of vertebrate-fish (most closely related to lampreys), or represents a stage that precedes the evolution of the vertebral column (as do lancelets). The original scheme groups hagfish and lampreys together as cyclostomes (or historically, Agnatha), as the oldest surviving class of vertebrates alongside gnathostomes(the now-ubiquitous jawed vertebrates). An alternative scheme proposed that jawed vertebrates are more closely related to lampreys than to hagfish (i.e., that vertebrates include lampreys but exclude hagfish), and introduces the category craniata to group vertebrates near hagfish. Recent DNA evidence has supported the original scheme
Clearly the father of a million horror movie nightmares, the Hagfish stands to remind us that there are horribly unpleasant little beasties in the deep, but the world may be a much less pleasant place if we didn’t have them around. (With material from Wikipedia)

October 17 Pasta Day

Pasta is a staple food of traditional Italian cuisine, with the first reference dating to 1154 in Sicily. It is also commonly used to refer to the variety of pasta dishes. Typically, pasta is a noodle made from an unleavened dough of a durum wheat flour mixed with water or eggs and formed into sheets or various shapes, then cooked by boiling or baking. It can also be made with flour from other cereals or grains. Pastas may be divided into two broad categories, dried (pasta secca) and fresh (pasta fresca).

There are more than 350 varieties of dried forms of pasta such as spaghetti, penne, pennette, canneloni, farfalle, gnocchi, alphabet pasta, and many others. Many pasta varieties have more than one name; over 1,300 names have been documented.
Most dried pasta is commercially produced via an extrusion process. Fresh pasta was traditionally produced by hand, sometimes with the aid of simple machines, but today many varieties of fresh pasta are also commercially produced by large-scale machines, and the products are widely available in supermarkets.

October 16 Liqueur Day

Today day is October 16 Liqueur Day observed annually. The word “liqueur” comes from the Latin word “liquifacere,” which means “to dissolve or melt.” As early as 400 BC, the Egyptians and Greeks distilled wine to produce fortified spirits.

In the U.S. and Canada, where distilled spirits are often called “liquor”, liqueurs are frequently confused with liquors, especially flavored ones such as flavored vodka. The main difference is that liqueurs contain sugar or other sweetener while liquors are not sweetened. Liqueurs are typically sweet and may resemble syrup in consistency. They also may or may not have a lower alcohol content.
As per our search, in the thirteenth century, liqueurs descend from herbal medicines prepared by monks in. A liqueur is an alcoholic drink made from extracted spirit flavored with fruit, cream, herbs, spices, flowers or nuts and bottled with extra sugar or other backhanders.
To celebrate the Liqueur Day, for this day we didn’t say enjoy this day “Liquer is not good for health”. So stay away or use your Wisdom and take it.
