Just Desserts
By LAUREN BOOMER
I understand that some people might roll their eyes at the endless stream of “National ___ Day” celebrations, but honestly, I welcome any opportunity to join the festivities. Why not embrace these quirky occasions, no matter how silly they seem? Every day is a chance to find joy, connect with others, and maybe even indulge in a bit of fun.
March is a whirlwind of celebrations, packed with a mix of official federal holidays and some fun (albeit completely made-up) observances. It’s a time when the calendar comes alive with festivities.
Of course, there are several notable days, such as Saint Patrick’s Day, Mardi Gras, Ash Wednesday, Vietnam Veterans Day, the beginning of daylight savings time, and the first day of spring. However, there are also some lesser-known dessert-themed days to celebrate.
These include, but are somehow not limited to, National Banana Cream Pie Day (March 2), 33 Flavors Day (March 3), National Pound Cake Day (March 4), National Oreo Day (March 6), National Chocolate Caramel Day (March 19), and International Waffle Day (March 25).
While these may not be traditional holidays, do you really need an excuse to indulge in some new or beloved desserts this month? If you’re looking for local treats, I’ve compiled a few favorites, but truthfully, with so many options in town, you can’t go wrong anywhere you visit.
So, happy March, Coronado. Let’s dive into this month with ice cream in hand—happy treating!
