National Linguine Day
Linguine (often misspelled "Linguini") is a long, flat and narrow type of pasta most common in seafood or pesto dishes, such as linguine with clams or linguine alla vongole (in Italian).
Linguine, which means "little tongues" in Italian, originates from the Liguria region of Italy. When local trattorias serve up delicious linguine dishes, the aroma of food is smelled throughout the area. Have a favorite linguine dish? How about serving it up tonight in honor of National Linguine Day!

Quote of the Day:
"I want to be thoroughly used up when I die, for the harder I work the more I live. I rejoice in life for its own sake. Life is no 'brief candle' to me. It is a sort of splendid torch which I have got hold of for the moment, and want to make burn as brightly as possible before handing it on to future generations." --George Bernard Shaw
