National Welsh Rarebit Day
If you've never had Welsh rarebit before, you're probably wondering what it is! Welsh rarebit is a dish traditionally made by pouring cheese sauce mixed with ale over buttered toast. The first recorded use of the term was in 1725, though the origin of the word is unknown. It is thought that it was used as a slur against the notoriously poor Welsh because cheese and rabbit were the only foods they could afford.
Today, Welsh rarebit is a popular dish in Europe and around the world. If you've never had Welsh rarebit before, National Welsh Rarebit Day is a great opportunity to try it for the first time!

Quote of the Day:
"What must I do is all that concerns me -- not what people think. It is easy in the world to live after the world’s opinion; it is easy in solitude to live after our own;-- but the great man is he who in the midst of the crowd keeps with perfect sweetness the independence of solitude." --Ralph Waldo Emerson
