National Chop Suey Day

The specific smell of a working wok — hot oil, ginger, garlic, sesame — coming from a Chinese-American restaurant kitchen on a rainy weeknight. The clink of the metal spatula against the steel. A red vinyl booth by a window. A paper placemat with the Chinese zodiac on it. A pot of tea, small ceramic cups, and a heaping plate of chop suey — bean sprouts, celery, water chestnuts, mushrooms, and thin-sliced meat glossed in a light savory sauce, ladled over a mound of white rice or a nest of crispy noodles. It's not the most refined dish in Chinese cuisine. It might not even be a real Chinese dish. But it's a very real American one.

National Chop Suey Day is August 29th, celebrating one of the founding dishes of Chinese-American cuisine — a stir-fry that was invented by Chinese immigrant cooks in late-1800s California, exploded into a national craze in the early 1900s, and became the signature offering at thousands of "chop suey houses" from coast to coast. Chop suey isn't served much in modern China. But it's a deeply American food, born out of the complicated, resourceful, and remarkable story of Chinese immigration to the United States. A dish with a whole country in it.

National Waffle Day

A hot waffle. A pool of maple syrup collecting in every little square. A pat of butter melting on top and running into the edges. The specific crackle of the crust as your fork breaks through it. The soft, tender inside underneath. A cup of coffee steaming beside the plate. A quiet Sunday morning kitchen where nothing else is happening yet — just the smell of the batter and the click of the waffle iron light going out and the specific joy of pulling the lid open to see what you just made.

National Waffle Day is August 24th, and there's actually a specific historical reason for the date — it commemorates the day in 1869 when a New Yorker named Cornelius Swartwout patented the first American waffle iron. Over 150 years later, the waffle has become one of the most iconic American breakfast foods, spawning everything from Belgian brunch specials to the roadside empire of Waffle House to the Eggo box in every 90s kid's freezer. Waffles are simple, sturdy, delicious, and infinitely customizable. Every square holds syrup.

National Senior Citizens Day

A grandmother's hand on a grandchild's back. The specific patience of a grandfather explaining how to bait a hook, or throw a curveball, or measure ingredients into a bowl. Stories that begin "when I was your age" and end forty-five minutes later. The way an older friend can say something in one sentence that changes how you think about your entire week. There is a specific kind of wisdom that only comes from having been around long enough to have seen how things turn out. And there is a specific kind of person whose whole life has become an inventory of what mattered.

National Senior Citizens Day is August 21st, established by President Ronald Reagan in 1988 to honor the contributions, achievements, and continuing importance of older Americans. It's a day for gratitude, for phone calls to grandparents, for showing up in the ways we should have been showing up all along. Roughly 55 million Americans are over 65 today — the largest older-adult population in the country's history — and they've built, taught, cared for, and loved everything the rest of us now inherit. Call your grandmother today.

Jumping on the trend of asking AI/ChatGPT what my warning label would look like for someone just meeting me… 😂

Apparently, I come with a few warnings. I can’t even argue with most of these. 😂

⚠️ Proceed at your own risk!

𝐍𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐚𝐥 𝐀𝐯𝐢𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐃𝐚𝐲

A window seat on a clear afternoon. The rumble of the taxiway, the throttle push, the acceleration you feel in your chest, the sudden lightness as the wheels leave the ground. The way the ground gets tiny in seconds — cars turned into ants, whole neighborhoods becoming maps. A hundred years ago, this was impossible. It was the recurring fantasy of every human being who ever looked up at a bird. Now it's how we get to grandma's house for the holidays.

National Aviation Day is August 19th, and the date is not an accident — it's Orville Wright's birthday, chosen deliberately in 1939 by President Franklin D. Roosevelt when he formally proclaimed the observance. The day celebrates the arrival of powered flight, the industry that grew from it, and the completely improbable idea that human beings could learn to move through the air like birds. From Kitty Hawk to the Boeing 787, the story of aviation is one of the twentieth century's greatest achievements. Birthday of the sky.
