:wave: Good morning! :sun_behind_large_cloud:

It’s Saturday, 16 January 2021 (W2/D16)

Today is:

:star: Appreciate A Dragon Day :dragon: - Whether it’s Smaug, Drogon, Viserion, Rhaegal, Elliot, Toothless, Puff the Magic, or our very own @Wyvern, today is the day to get your dragon appreciation on. Started in 2004 by author Donita K. Paul to celebrate the release of her book DragonSpell, Appreciate A Dragon Day encourages people to explore these mythical creatures, and their cultural significance in the society and history.:dragon:

:star: International Hot and Spicy Foods Day :hot_pepper: - Sticking with the fire and heat theme, today is also International Hot and Spicy Foods Day. I can’t because my stomach is not able to deal with spicy foods. Also, I’m a wimp. But I reckon there’s many in these parts who do appreciate a hit of heat in their dishes. International Hot and Spicy Foods Day sparks a wildfire of events, from habanero-eating challenges to fancy-dress contests and cook-offs of popular recipes. Among serious aficionados, it also re-kindles the great debate: which chili pepper tops the official Scoville heat scale? Enjoying a touch of heat in our cooking is a worldwide human trait, so what better day to discover a different cuisine? Thai, Indian, Creole and Caribbean dishes are all famous for their blends of aromatic and spicy ingredients.:hot_pepper:

Have a spicy and hot Saturday! :+1:
