MMm... baklava, tho' not my favourite dessert, it definitely is tasty. I think I'll celebrate the US's National Baklava Day by running down to Royal Aleppo and grabbing some sweets.
It's never too soon for dessert, right? Being born too soon tho' could cause complications, and there's a day for that to raise awareness, World Prematurity Day.
The day is also marked by the famous words of Richard Nixon: "I am not a crook".
He said this during a speech about the infamous Watergate issue in 1973.
One guy who isn't a crook, but the winningest Pipe Major Richard Parkes. He is PM for the Field Marshal Montgomery Pipe Band, named after famous Field Marshal Bernard Law Montgomery.
He was born today in 1887, and would have been 134 had he not passed in 1976.
