Poetry Challenge #117-A Month of Holidays
Every day is a special day. If a day dawns in need of an excuse to celebrate I make a quick search. I delight in finding calendars that telling what each day is special for—more than 1500 a year and counting. Today December 11, according to nationaldaycalendar.com, is National App Day and National Noodle Ring Day.
I had no idea Noodle Rings* were even a thing!

*Evidently, no one knows the origin of National Noodle Ring Day but it’s a day celebrated by making “the pasta dish which is formed in an 8 or 9 inch ring mold or bundt pan. Usually made from noodles, flour, breadcrumbs, cheese, eggs and other seasonings, this dish has quite a following. When baked the noodle ring is removed from the mold and served on a plate giving it an elegant appearance.
HOW TO OBSERVE
Try your skills with making a noodle ring thing and post with hashtag #NationalNoodleRingDay
