How to celebrate Jul 21st
Start your day by waking up early and surprising your significant other with breakfast in bed. Make some homemade pancakes or French toast, then top it with powdered sugar and a dollop of whipped cream. This small gesture will surely help you get out of the doghouse if you need to.
Next, take a break from your usual routine and treat yourself to some junk food. Head to your local convenience store and grab your favorite snacks – maybe some chips, candy bars, or soda. Don’t forget to indulge in a classic junk food dessert like a slice of pie or a cookie. It’s Legal Drinking Age Day, so if you’re of legal age, maybe crack open a cold one too.
In the afternoon, go for a walk and hug your kids tight. Spend quality time with them by playing their favorite game or watching a movie together. Remind them how much you love and appreciate them – it’s Global Hug Your Kids Day after all.
For dinner, why not try making a traditional Belgian dish to celebrate Belgium National Day? Whip up a pot of savory carbonade flamande (beef stew cooked in beer) or moules-frites (mussels with fries). Pair it with a Belgian beer or a glass of red wine to elevate the experience.
And to end the day on a sweet note, don’t forget to enjoy a delicious lamington for dessert. These coconut-covered sponge cakes are a delightful treat that will surely satisfy your sweet tooth. You can find them in bakeries or supermarkets, or try making them yourself if you’re feeling adventurous.
By combining elements from these weird national holidays, you can have a fun and memorable day filled with delicious food, quality time with loved ones, and a touch of cultural appreciation. So go ahead, embrace the oddity of this mishmash of holidays and create your own unique celebration!
