February 28, 2023 - National Chocolate Soufflé | National Tooth Fairy Day

Welcome to February 28, 2023 on the National Day Calendar. Today we celebrate kitchen magic and tales about teeth. Souffle is a French word meaning “to puff or blow up” and when paired with chocolate the results are intoxicating. But don’t let the fancy word fool you, for if you are brave enough to conjure some stiffly beaten egg whites, you’re halfway to creating this masterpiece in your own kitchen. Lots of people shy away from making souffles because they believe the results are elusive, but with some tricks up your sleeve you’ll be a wizard in no time. The key is to keep things quiet while the souffle bakes, as any loud noises will cause them to fall. Straight from the oven, few things are more delightful and on National Chocolate Souffle Day you’ll be celebrated for your kitchen magic! When Sir Arthur Conan Doyle published photographs of two girls surrounded by fairies a new craze was stirred. Children's imaginations took flight and this fascination became useful for teaching kids everything from eating their vegetables to getting fresh air. Then in 1927 Esther Watkins' play known as the Tooth Fairy sparked a tradition we still honor today. For nearly 100 years since then, teeth have been magically transformed into money by the mysterious fairy folk. On National Tooth Fairy Day, celebrate this legendary fairy that kids adore.
