April 12, 2013: Russian Cosmonaut Day celebrates the day backin 1961 when Yuri Gagarin became the first human in outer space. (We’ll see if November 3 brings a celebration for Laika, the first space dog.) Here, a cosmonaut is celebrating the deliciousness of Grilled Cheese Day, and the red variety of licorice for Licorice Day. I know some people say that red licorice isn’t real licorice, and that the only licorice is black licorice. Those people are wrong, because black licorice is a horrible monstrosity that should be destroyed. (I think it’s the same tastebud thing that makes cilantro taste like toxic soap.)
