AND BAR
The July calendar is filled with ... food? At least in the United
States, July 7 is popularized as Macaroni Day, the third Sunday
of each July (this year, July 15) as Ice Cream Day and July 28
as Hamburger Day. July as a whole is Ice Cream Month and
the fourth week in July is Salad Week. July 7 is World Chocolate Day in several
countries, celebrated by the consumption of chocolate. The Saturday of
the August long weekend is, in Canada, Food Day. Bon appétit to those of
you enjoying a celebratory dinner to mark the memorable events listed
below, including various moves and appointments, and we wish everyone
else all the best for your barbeques, picnics and other festivities.
