Day 336 - shaving fritters

I have three exciting celebrations end I share with you, dear readers today.  Before we get into that I also found out that today is Prince Anders Day, a day to give a gift to a fictional prince. It needs to be something he wants or else you'll be thrown in the dungeon. I went to see my son dancing in panto and that was part if the plot.  It fits in nicely with what I'm doing but I didn't have anything handy to pass on. The panto was a roaring success (oh no it wasn't,  oh yes it was, etc. etc.)

Right, my first celebration today was of Fritters Day. I was all up for vegetable fritters, courgette maybe. You'll have worked out if you've been reading this that the kids are unlikely to eat those so we opted for Spam fritters instead.  The kids were with me when we were shopping and they all turned there noses up at Spam. There were alternatives next to them just called bacon and cheese grills so they asked for those instead. They looked the same, the only difference I could tell was that the ham wasn't as spammy and the coating was breadcrumb instead of batter. You grill them rather than put them in the oven.  They went down well, all three kids loved them.  I'm however now a little unsure as to whether they were actually fritters.  I'm thinking maybe not as fritter probably requires batter but I'm hoping for some leeway here.  I'd appreciate your thoughts.

I managed to squeeze in a quick second celebration a few minutes ago.  Today was Business Of Popping Corn Day, a day to celebrate the invention of the first mass produced popcorn popper. I was going to pop my own but I ran out of time. Instead I ate a completely unnecessary bag of toffee popcorn. Its better than salted or sweet but not a patch on fresh hot buttered popcorn.  Remember that day?  It seems like so long ago now.

Finally I'm off to do my third in a minute once this has uploaded. It's Safety Razor Day so I'm going to go and make myself look dashing and suave. This could take a while. Nighty night.
