National Deep Fried Clam Day In 1865 fried clams were found on the menu of the Parker House hotel restaurant in Boston, Massachusetts, so it is known that fried clams have been served and enjoyed for more than 140 years. Now, on November 1, we observe National Deep Fried Clams Day. http://nationaldaycalendar.com/latest-posts/National Vinegar Day A common household product that is mostly used for cooking and is found in most homes across America is observed each year on November 1 as it is National Vinegar Day. http://nationaldaycalendar.com/latest-posts/

Zero Tasking Day The extra hour we get when daylight savings times change is often heralded as an opportunity for extra productivity, activity and doing. However, given that were all already owed an hour every other time it changes, it seems a little unfair to expect us to work through it as such, Zero Tasking Day is designed to dedicate this hour to me time; encouraging rest, relaxation and a distinct lack of work. https://www.daysoftheyear.com/days/zero-tasking-day/
World Vegan Day Along with celebrating the start of the Vegan Society, Vegan Day is an opportunity to promote the benefits of a vegan diet and veganism in general. The term Vegan was coined by Donald Watson and derived from the word Vegetarian. At that time, the differentiation was that Vegans did not consume dairy products. Later this extended to eggs, and by 1951, veganism had become a movement of people who did not partake in the exploitation of animals.
Orphan Sunday Orphan Sunday is a time to stand up for the orphans of the world. In truth, there are likely no more vulnerable human beings in the entire world than those thousands upon thousands of children in this world who have no mother or father, due to all sorts of tragedies that have occurred in their lives, ranging from accidents, to sicknesses, to war. Whatever the reason, orphaned children need our help in any way we can offer it. https://www.daysoftheyear.com/days/orphan-sunday/
Authors Day Celebrate literature in all its forms on Authors Day, and show your appreciation for the incredibly hard work put in by the authors behind your favourite writings. https://www.daysoftheyear.com/days/authors-day/
