Today's Obscure Holiday 2/26/13

There are a number of holidays today, Carnival Day, National Pistachio Day, and Tell a Fairy Tale Day. As usual I will give an interesting fact for all of them. Unfortunately I couldn't find any so I made some that I knew, take 'em or leave 'em.

• I hate carnivals and amusement parks 
• The best way to eat pistachios is in ice cream
• Fairy Tales are the best kind of stories

Recipe(s) of the day: Pumpkin spice cake, Hot Cross Buns, Banana Nut Muffins

Flower(s) of the day: Johnny Jump Up, Periwinkle, and Sweet Williams (The pictures are in the same order)
