June 10, 2014: Here’s to Herb & Spice Day, working together to battle the scourge of flavorless food. My personal favorites include chili powder, oregano (I make two salad dressings, both heavy on the oregano), and thyme. I’m also madly in love with Red Robin’s fry spice mix (we always buy a bottle to have here at home) and good ol’ adobo.

Beveragewise, today is both Iced Tea Day and National Black Cow Day. I had no idea that an ice cream float made with either root beer or cola is known as a “black cow”. We’d either called them “a root beer float” or “gross, why make a float with cola?”.
