National Themes For October 17 National Edge Day, National Mulligan Day, and National Pasta Day.

🎗National Edge Day! This day was founded by people who associate themselves with The Straight Edge movement. Straight Edge is a subculture and subgenre of hardcore punk whose adherents refrain from using alcohol, tobacco, and other recreational drugs. The movement adopted the term from the song “Straight Edge” by the 1980s hardcore punk band, Minor Threat. This National Day was founded in 1999 with the event held in Boston, Massachusetts under the name of “Edge Fest”.

🔙National Mulligan Day! In golf, a mulligan happens when a player gets a second chance to perform a certain move or action. Mulligan Day was created as a day for giving yourself a second chance or, as some people call it, a “do-over.” According to the USGA, the term first achieved widespread use in the 1940s.

🍜National Pasta Day. Pasta is a type of noodle of traditional Italian cuisine, with the first reference dating to 1154 in Sicily and first attested in English in 1874. Typically, it is made from unleavened dough of durum wheat flour that is mixed with water or eggs and formed into sheets or various shapes. It can then be served fresh or dried to be stored for later use. The versatility of pasta lends it to sweet and savory dishes. It can be featured as the main dish, a light, fresh side or even the anticipated rich finish as the dessert. Fresh pasta was originally produced by hand but, today, many varieties of fresh pasta are commercially produced by large-scale machines and the products are widely available in supermarkets. Dried and fresh pasta come in a number of shapes and varieties. There are 310 specific forms known variably by over 1300 names having been recently documented. In Italy, names of specific pasta shapes or types vary with locale. Example: Cavatelli is known by 28 different names depending on the region and town.

I love a good plate of pasta!

I warm up the hugs before sending them. It was a breezy 53° today.🐶💕🌤🌻
