National Corn Fritters Day
It seems hard to believe, but many people have never even heard of corn fritters! Today behind National Corn Fritter Day, it's the perfect time to educate the world about these tasty southern treats that can be summarized in three words: fried yellow goodness.
Corn fritters are made by frying up small amounts of corn batter and are nicknamed "southern bread" because of their popularity in the south. They're often served with syrup of powdered sugar and can be served as a side dish or as a snack. The American South is definitely known as the birthplace of corn fritters, but the good word has spread all over the world. In Asia, it's not uncommon prepare corn fritters with vegetables and a spicy sauce.
Cook up some corn fritters for your friends today but don't be surprised if you end up wanting more!

He reduced his message to the graduating class to these three ideals: 'Know yourself; Socrates. Control yourself; Cicero. Give yourself; Christ.'"
