National Cheesecake Day
Calling all dessert fanatics, it's National Cheesecake Day! This worldwide favorite can be eaten plain or topped with your favorite fruits. Its crispy pastry crust combined with a creamy, rich center will leave you asking for seconds.
Cheesecake is a wonderful dessert because it can be made in so many different flavors. Some fan favorites are peanut butter cup, key lime, raspberry white chocolate and rocky road.
To celebrate National Cheesecake Day, many pastry shops will give away cheesecake at a discount (or even for free!) Buy or make your favorite flavor of cheesecake today to celebrate this glorious occasion!

Quote of the Day:
"In the concentration camps, we witnessed some of our comrades behave like swine while others behaved like saints. Man has both potentialities within himself; which one is actualized depends on decisions but not on conditions. The way in which a man accepts his fate and all the suffering it entails, the way in which he takes up his cross, gives him ample opportunity--even under the most difficult circumstances--to add a deeper meaning to his life. His unique opportunity lies in the way he bears his burden."
--Viktor E. Frankl
