Daily Holidays - October 17

http://www.famousbirthdays.com/october17.html

National Pasta Day Pasta is a type of noodle of traditional Italian cuisine, with the first reference dating to 1154 in Sicily and first attested in English in 1874. Typically, it is made from unleavened dough of durum wheat flour that is mixed with water or eggs and formed into sheets or various shapes. It is then cooked and served in a variety of dishes.

Mulligan Day This day was created as a day for giving yourself a second chance or, as some people call it, a “do-over”.

National Sweetest Day This holiday has been described as “an occasion which offers all of us an opportunity to remember the sick, aged and orphaned, but also friends, relatives and associates whose helpfulness and kindness we have enjoyed”.
