Just in case your February has started like mine - with grey soggy weather and a stack of unexpected bills to pay - and you need something to smile about: there's a calendar that lists probably not every National Day of Whatever You Can Think Of, but at least an astounding number of them. (And a good number of international ones, too.)

So in case you're looking for an excuse to eat cabbage, cream-filled chocolates, chili, or chocolate soufflé - that calendar has you covered. Actually, that calendar could even serve as an inspiration on what to have for lunch, as a lot of the "National Day of" topics are certain foods. Maybe kahlua for lunch is not such a good idea, though... but I could totally live with chocolate soufflé as main meal!
