February 9: National Pizza Day, National Toothache Day, and National Bagel Day.

🍕National Pizza Day! Whether it is thin crust, Chicago-style, deep dish or anything in between, pizza is an American favorite. Here are some interesting facts about pizza: 1️⃣Pepperoni is the most popular pizza at 36% of all pies ordered. 2️⃣Over 3 billion pizzas are sold in the USA each year. 3️⃣Add another 1 billion on frozen pizzas 4️⃣17% of all US Restaurants are pizzerias. 5️⃣Antica Pizzeria, the first Pizzeria, opened in Naples, Italy, in 1738. 6️⃣Gennaro Lombardi, the first Pizzeria in the United States, opened in 1895 in New York City. 7️⃣Americans consume on average 23 pounds of pizza per person each year.

😬National Toothache Day! Also known as odontalgia, a toothache is pain generating from a tooth or multiple teeth. A toothache can make us miserable, making it difficult to eat, sleep or sometimes even talk. It’s safe to say, toothaches are never pleasant and not really something to celebrate. We can, however, be aware of how to prevent toothaches. Routine dental care is an important first step. Avoiding sugary foods and acidic drinks and daily brushing and flossing are important, too. Even so, we can still develop cavities, have accidents that break or chip at tooth or find ourselves with an infection. Teeth can also become sensitive to heat or cold. Treating a toothache in the short term may be simply handled by over-the-counter treatments, but seeing a denist may still be required to resolve the issue. Some toothaches are so severe as to require emergency intervention, so treating the early signs of a mild toothache is important.

🍩National Bagel Day (formerly Bagel and Lox Day)! Bagels are one of the few breads that are boiled then baked. This creates a soft inside while keeping a crisp outside. Bagels originated in Poland in the early 17th century and now sell over a billion dollars worth each year in the United States. Over the years, many flavors and varieties of bagels have sprung up across the USA. Cream cheese is a favorite topping on bagels.

Pizza! You don't have to call me twice, love pizza🍕🍕🍕! I don't think anyone is a fan of a toothache. I'll take my bagel with cream cheese please.

Another blustery day today, a cold night but a nice day Saturday and then Sunday we get hit with a little of everything. Yay us! Not!

I included that windmill pic just for you my twin, I knew that would be the selling point for you. And MD if you like caves wait until the next state day you will love it. Im glad I'm putting caves in now. Heck that one cave already has me sold on visiting.

Sending warm squishy hugs.
