March 18 - Sheelah makes a mean Sloppy Joe

 Apparently keeping with the Irish theme this week...

The legend goes that St. Patrick had a wife (or mum) named Sheelah, and the Irish would celebrate a feast on the day after St. Pat's.

Not a super famous day, but ... we'll take any excuse these days.

Whether it was his mom or wife, I'm sure she made St. Patrick a meal or 2, and a nice simple comfort meal of sloppy joes can be anybody's favourite.

Today is the US's National Sloppy Joe Day.

It's also the day that in 1905 Albert Einstein published his theory on the "Quantum Theory of Light".

The idea was that when needed, light behaves like a particle, and at other times it behaves like a wave
