Bubble Gum Day!

Chew on...

Today is Bubble Gum Day!

What’s your flavor?  How long does it last?  Each piece is unique to each person.

However, this day has alternative priorities.  Today was not created to celebrate gum per se, but to raise money.  According to bubblegumday.com, “Bubble Gum Day offers schools a fun way to raise money, without kids having to sell stuff.”

BUT – I’m not in school AND I like gum, so I’m celebrating the gum and not raising any money (unless you feel motivated to send me some).

So, in order to celebrate gum, let’s get creative and look at this wonderful item for more than just chewing.

Here are 7, found at Yahoo! Voices.

#1 Make Chewed Bubble Gum Sculptures

#2 Use It For Catfish Bait

#3 Fill Cracks in Clay Flowerpots

#4 Improve Your Memory

#5  Secure Documents Together

#6 Recover Faster From Colon Resection Surgery

#7 Remove Light Scratches From a CD

I think I will stick to just chewing the gum.

What are you doing with your gum?

 

Chew on!

Fish Stew, y’all!

Dive in...

Today is National Bouillabaisse Day.

As Paula Dean would say, “It’s fish stew, y’all!”  Here is a recipe from the Queen of Butter herself for Bouillabaisse: The Lady’s Bouillabaisse.

So, what is it exactly?  Having it’s origin’s in Marseilles, France and found all over the Mediterranean, it seems as though bouillabaisse is simply seafood and flavors from the region all combined in one pot.  Similar to the Stone Soup story, I bet there was a time where different people of the community or town would each bring some ingredients to contribute to the bouillabaisse.

We to can draw from this.  How can you use your community or network to help you business/life/happiness/soup better?  furthermore, what can you draw on from your life to make your own “soup” of life.  Combine your talents… perhaps you find a new hobby, monetize it and make it a part-time job… or perhaps a new career.

Charge: Let’s mix it up and create a bouillabaisse life.

Tomorrow: National Lemon Cupcake Day!
