American Chocolate Holidays

Today I caught myself absent-mindedly jumping from website to website (I think this is the equivalent to channel surfing) when I landed on a site dedicated to listing American holidays.  What really caught my attention was the list of American FOOD Holidays.  Hey, did you know that each day of the year has an assigned food to worship?

Here are some examples:

  • January 16 -- National Fig Newton Day
  • February 7 -- National Fettuccine Alfredo Day
  • March 23 -- National Chip and Dip Day
  • April 6 -- National Caramel Popcorn Day
  • Chocolate HolidaysMay 7 -- National Roast Leg of Lamb Day

My Dog Ate My Homework

Remember that fun excuse, "My dog ate my homework?"  Everyone knew it wasn't true, yet it always made the rounds, year after year, at least in jest if not seriously...

Well, that excuse isn't very good at Chocolate University Online.  Since your homework is chocolate, you'd better hope your dog doesn't eat it!  We'd hate for you to get behind on your homework tending to a sick dog.

Is this how your summer goes?  While the school year might be September to June (roughly speaking anyway), there's nothing that says you can't start studying something fun this summer.  You can get started right now by enrolling yourself in chocolate school!
