  • INTERNATIONAL LAVERBREAD DAY – April 14

    INTERNATIONAL LAVERBREAD DAY

    On April 14th, discover a nutritious ingredient that comes from the sea. International Laverbread Day celebrates this food with a long history made from seaweed.

    #LaverbreadDay

    Laverbread is the cooked version of ‘laver’ – porphyra seaweed – a diaphanous red algae found abundantly along Wales’ rocky coastline. For centuries, the Welsh have traditionally cooked laver to make laverbread, also called bara lawr and Welshman’s caviar. Not to be confused with sliced bread, laverbread is prepared by cooking the seaweed and creating green gluey sludge. So what’s appetizing about that? Well, for some, laverbread is considered a delicacy. For others, it may be an acquired taste. And still, for others, it’s neither acquired nor a delicacy.

    However, laverbread can be added to various recipes. Despite the long cooking time, (8 hours!) laverbread enhances the flavor with a salty sea taste. Add laverbread to soups, dried and crumbled over vegetables, salads, eggs, and even baked into bread. Traditionally, the Welsh roll laverbread in oatmeal before frying or spreading it on toast.

    Humans have been consuming seaweed for thousands of years, including laver. Since laver contains more vitamins and minerals than any land-based vegetable, it makes a healthy addition to any meal.

    Future Food

    Laver also produces 80 percent of the world’s oxygen, earning it the nickname “Lungs of the World.” So this “future food” checks all the boxes for sustainability, too.

    • Requires no land
    • Requires no freshwater
    • Grows up to 20 times faster than traditional crops
    • Requires no pesticides

    What more could you ask for when shopping for Earth-friendly food? On International Laverbread Day, celebrate the history, heritage, and benefits of laver.

    HOW TO OBSERVE LAVERBREAD DAY

    • On April 14th experience the joys of laverbread and incorporate it into your cooking.
    • Make laverbread at home. Try this recipe for 5 Beans on Toast with Welsman’s Caviar.
    • Ask your local deli to include fresh laver in the deli case.
    • Share your laver recipes.
    • Learn more about laver and the ways to use it.
    • Share the day using #LaverbreadDay.

    INTERNATIONAL LAVERBREAD DAY HISTORY

    laverbread-day-logo-2022The Pembrokeshire Beach Food Company founded International Laverbread Day in 2021 to share its love of laver and all its benefits. Jonathan Williams established the company in 2011, creating various seaweed-based products. But the company’s true love is Laver Seaweed. If seaweed is the core of its business infused with Welsh Heritage, then Laver seaweed is Pembrokeshire Beach Food Company’s champion.

    Pembrokeshire Beach Food Company puts local food producers and the environment first. Their mission includes using biodegradable packaging and disposables, sustainable power where possible, and applying sustainability principles at every level across the company.

    The Registrar at National Day Calendar proclaimed the first International Laverbread Day to be observed on April 14th and annually thereafter.

    About Pembrokeshire Beach Food Company

    Jonathan Williams founded his award-winning business on a passion for laverbread. Quitting a desk job in Swindon in 2010, he returned to Wales to run a food stall dedicated to Welsh seafood delicacies, particularly laverbread foraged from his local coastline.

    Over the years, the business grew from a pop-up market stall to a permanent van at Freshwater West, where people queued to buy treats such as lobster rolls, crab rolls, and breakfast buns stuffed with bacon, egg, cheese, seaweed butter, and laverbread patties. Now Jonathan has taken on the lease at The Old Point House, an iconic old smugglers’ inn reached across a tidal causeway on Angle, Pembrokeshire. Work is underway to give the venerable pub a new lease of life – and it will include a permanent Pembrokeshire Beach Food Company presence via a repurposed boat selling street food in the pub garden. The Pembrokeshire Beach Food Company also has an online shop selling deli goods such as dried laver (Welshman’s caviar), Môr Ketchup (seaweed ketchup sauce), seaweed butter, seaweed pesto, and more. In 2017, Jonathan launched Barti Rum, a seaweed spiced rum.

  • NATIONAL DONATE LIFE BLUE & GREEN DAY – Changes Annually

    NATIONAL DONATE LIFE BLUE & GREEN DAY

    National Donate Life Blue & Green Day, observed annually in April, encourages us to wear blue and green to raise awareness about organ donation.

    According to Donate Life America, nearly 124,000 people in the United States are awaiting some type of organ transplant. Organ donor registration is critical. There are many types of organ donation.

    Deceased

    Donors or their next of kin determine whether their organs will be donated at the time of their death.

    Living

    Some organs or tissue may be donated by a living donor. Types of organs and tissue donated include kidneys, liver and bone marrow.

    Vascularized Composite Allografts (VCA)

    This type of donation may not save a life, but can improve a patient’s quality of life. The types of tissue or organs donated include skin, muscles, nerves and other connective tissue.

    Organ donation takes many forms, and there are teams of people involved to make donations happen. From family members supporting both donors and recipients to a broad network of advocates and medical professionals and specialists, a single donation requires a coordinated effort. According to Unos, one donor can save 8 lives, and every 10 minutes someone is added to the donor list.

    You can register to be an organ donor in several ways. When you update your identification card, you can indicate your preference to be a donor. Another way to register is by visiting organdonor.gov. Finally, tell family and close friends about your decision. At the time of your death, one or more of your family members may be responsible for honoring your wishes.

    HOW TO OBSERVE #DonateLifeBlueAndGreenDay

    • Wear blue and green to help raise awareness.
    • Donor organ recipients can share their experiences.
    • Family members of donors can also share their experiences and honor a loved one who donated.

  • NATIONAL DOLPHIN DAY – April 14

    NATIONAL DOLPHIN DAY

    Each year on April 14th, National Dolphin Day recognizes the social and intelligent mammals of the water. 

    #NationalDolphinDay

    Dolphins are cetacean mammals that are related to whales and porpoises. They range in size from 4 feet to up to 30 feet; dolphins are among almost forty species in 17 genera. Found worldwide, they prefer the shallower seas of the continental shelves.

    As carnivores, their diet consists of mostly fish and squid.

    • Male dolphin – bull
    • Female dolphin – cow
    • Young dolphin – calf
    • Group of dolphins – school or pod
    Social, Swift, and Intelligent

    Dolphins are known to have acute eyesight both in and out of the water. They also have a well-developed sense of touch, with free nerve endings densely packed in the skin. Since they additionally have such acute hearing, they can hear frequencies ten times or more above the upper limit of what adult humans can. Dolphins are also capable of making a broad range of sounds using nasal air sacs located just below the blowhole.

    Living in pods of up to a dozen dolphins, they are highly social animals. Pods do merge in areas where there is an abundance of food, forming superpods. These pods may exceed 1,000 dolphins. Dolphins can, and do, establish strong bonds within their pods. Even when one is injured or ill, they will stay, helping them to breathe by bringing them to the surface if needed.

    You will see the dolphins frequently leaping above the water’s surface. They do this for various reasons; when traveling, jumping saves them energy as there is less friction while in the air. Their leaps even have a name called porpoising. Some other explanations for leaping include orientation, social display, fighting, non-verbal communication, entertainment, and attempting to dislodge parasites.

    The United States National Marine Mammal Foundation conducted a study revealing that dolphins, like humans, develop a natural form of type 2 diabetes. This discovery may lead to a better understanding of the disease and new treatments for both humans and dolphins.

    HOW TO OBSERVE NATIONAL DOLPHIN DAY

    • Learn more about dolphins, their habitats, and how they live.
    • Watch a documentary about dolphins.
    • Share your knowledge about dolphins with others, too!
    • Download and print the Dolphin Day coloring page.
    • Use #NationalDolphinDay to post on social media.

    NATIONAL DOLPHIN DAY HISTORY

    National Dolphin Day is listed as part of the American Veterinary Medical Association Pet Health Awareness Events.

    Dolphin FAQ

    Q. Do dolphins talk?
    A. No, but they do communicate. While they don’t use words like humans do, they do use a variety of sounds using clicks and whistles. The clicks are a part of a dolphin’s echolocation system and help them navigate. When they whistle, they are communicating with other dolphins.

    Q. How many dolphin species are there?
    A. According to the World Wildlife Federation, 36 species of dolphins populate the world’s waterways.

    Q. Do dolphins live in fresh or saltwater?
    A. Dolphins live in both fresh and saltwater.

    #LookUpAtTheSkyDay

    There are many things that you can see as you sit back, relax and look up. The sky’s beautiful blue color, the clouds, and their many shapes.

    NATIONAL EX-SPOUSE DAY

    Very few marriages end amicably. Each year on April 14th, National Ex-Spouse Day encourages those who have dissolved their marriage to forgive their former spouse and move beyond any anger or bitterness that may remain. And even those that do aren’t free from angst or regrets.

    #NationalExSpouseDay

     

    For a wide variety of reasons, sometimes marriages just do not work out. Recent statistics show that the divorce rate for first marriages is at 50 percent.  Some people find that they get along better after a divorce than they did during the marriage. Unfortunately, all divorces do not turn out that friendly and the experience can be painful and traumatic. Regardless of whether it is a friendly separation, there needs to be a way to manage the situation when children are involved.

    • Come to terms with your divorce.
    • Forgive your ex so you can move on. It’s as much for them as it is for you.
    • Find something positive about your ex-spouse that will help ease any lasting bitterness.

    • Use #NationalExSpouseDay to post on social media.

    NATIONAL EX-SPOUSE DAY HISTORY

    Reverend Ronald Coleman of Kansas City, Missouri created National Ex-Spouse Day in 1987 as a way to dissolve the bitterness that is often associated with divorce. In its inaugural year, Rev. Coleman offered buttons that read, “I’m OK – You’re History,” to help lighten the day. He hoped more people would forgive their spouses and focus on the positive aspects of their own lives.

    Ex-Spouse FAQ

    Q. Is divorce on the rise?
    A. Overall, divorce rates are on the decline. However, one segment of the population is seeing increased divorce rates – Baby Boomers. Called gray divorce, the divorce rate of those 50 and older more than doubled since 2015 according to Pew Research.

    Q. Is there a better word than “ex” to describe an ex-spouse?
    A. There are multiple ways to describe an ex-spouse. A few that illustrate the dissolved relation in a more positive light are:

    • Former spouse
    • Once-upon-a-time spouse
    • Spouse 1.0 (2.0, 3.0 for those who need these options)
    • Was-spouse
    • wasbund, waswife

  • NATIONAL REACH AS HIGH AS YOU CAN DAY – April 14

    NATIONAL REACH AS HIGH AS YOU CAN DAY

    National Reach as High as You Can Day on April 14th encourages us to evaluate our goals and do our best to reach them. 

    #ReachAsHighAsYouCanDay

    We can define “reach” in many ways.  Search Guinness World Records for highest reach and Guinness gives us 322 results. We can reach for our dreams or our goals. Reach for the stars or the sky. We can even reach for the balloon floating away from us much like the one that carried the Wizard of Oz away from Dorothy.

    Of course, records can be set for the oldest or the youngest to reach a particular location, age, height or status.  

    While this day may not be about setting records, it is certainly about reaching high; higher than we think we can.  We often become complacent.  National Reach as High as You Can Day is just a reminder on the calendar not to let your dreams go adrift. Reach for them.  Reach as high as you can!

    HOW TO OBSERVE REACH AS HIGH AS YOU CAN DAY

    • Share your goals.
    • Create new goals.
    • Encourage others to reach for their goals.

    • Furthering education
    • Saving money
    • Buying a home
    • Career promotion
