March 7: National Be Heard Day, National Cereal Day, and National Crown of Roast Pork Day.

🗣National Be Heard Day is observed across the country by small businesses. Dedicated to the over 145 million small businesses in the United States, National Be Heard Day is a tool to break through the big-business dominated times. Now is the time for these small businesses to “be heard”. There are many ways for this to be done, be it through creative marketing, smart publicity tactics, strong visual appearance or any of the other inventive ways of making their presence known. Business Mentor Shannon Cherry founded National Be Heard Day in 2004 to help small businesses stand up and be heard through all the big business marketing.

🍳National Cereal Day! Since the end of the 19th century, cereal has become America’s most popular breakfast food. Now, not only is cereal eaten for breakfast, it has become a popular bedtime snack, and some people even have a bowl for an evening meal. Cereal is also used in many cake, cookie and bar recipes. The most popular one is Rice Crispy Bar Treats. A Little Cereal History: 🍁Ferdinand Schumacher, a German immigrant, began the cereal revolution in 1854 with a hand oats grinder in the back room of a small store in Akron, Ohio. His German Mills American Oatmeal Company was the nation’s first commercial oatmeal manufacturer. In 1877, Schumacher adopted the Quaker symbol, the first registered trademark for a breakfast cereal. 🍁Granula, the first breakfast cereal, was invented in the United States in 1863 by James Caleb Jackson, operator of Our Home on the Hillside, which was later replaced by the Jackson Sanatorium in Dansville, New York. The cereal never became popular since it was inconvenient as the heavy bran nuggets needed soaking overnight before they were tender enough to eat. 🍁The cereal industry rose from a combination of sincere religious beliefs and commercial interest in health foods. Dr. John Harvey Kellogg experimented with granola. He boiled some wheat, rolled it into thin films, and baked the resulting flakes in the oven; he acquired a patent in 1891. In 1895 he launched Cornflakes, which overnight captured a national market. 🍁In 1906, Dr. John Harvey Kellogg’s brother, William K. Kellogg, after working for John, broke away, bought the corn flakes rights from his brother and set up the Battle Creek Toasted Corn Flake Company. His signature on every package became the company trademark and insurance of quality. 🍁Charles W. Post introduced Grape-nuts in 1898 and soon followed with Post Toasties. 🍁Because of Kellogg and Post, the city of Battle Creek, Michigan is nicknamed the “Cereal Capital of the World.”

👑🐷National Crown Roast of Pork Day! Crown roast of pork earns its name when a pork loin is formed into a circle with the ribs pointing upwards forming the points of a crown. Often they are held together with twine. It is then seasoned, and often stuffed, roasted and served, making a beautiful centerpiece on the table. The ends of the bones may be given a paper frill treatment for added decoration.

Can you hear me now! I'll have a bowl of my favorite and I bet everyone can guess what flavor they are, CocoCoco Rice Krispys. Unfortunately I'm pick about what part of the porker I eat and the ribs are not even close.

Tomorrow is someone's favorite state day.😂

Sending warmer hugs today!🐶🐶💕❄️☃️❄️💕 It was 29 degrees today but the wind chill was 18 degrees. I hope someone didn't lose Spring.
