January 7, 2014: Happy Harlem Globetrotters Day! The team played their first ever game on this day back in 1927. it’s also Old Rock Day, which refers not to classic oldies music, but to fossils and stone. (Although there may be some musical geologists out there who combine the two meanings into one happy celebration.) Last but not least, it’s National Tempura Day here in the USA, so if you weighed in yesterday and have vowed to start a new diet, now’s the perfect time to break your resolutions with some light, flaky, deep-fried and battered goodness. (I always draw shrimp for such things, as they’re my personal favorite thing to batter and deep-fry.)
