Quick facts When is it? Every December 1st Tagged as Baking Cookies Food & Drink What's the hashtag? #NationalCookieCutterDay When was it founded? 2019 Have we missed something? Becoming popular in the 16th century, when the gingerbread man made its way into the English court and then moved through to common people, cookie cutters have evolved over time into different shapes and sizes. And National Cookie Cutter Day comes around each year to remind people how valuable cookie cutters can be to their lives! History of National Cookie Cutter Day Even before Queen Elizabeth I had gingerbread made into men, the Germans of the 1500s were baking small cakes into molds and designs, some of which were very intricate. By the time the 1800s came around, the cookie cutters were made from tin by American tinsmiths. In fact, the first patent for a cookie cutter in the United States was granted to Alexander P. Ashbourne in 1875. National Cookie Cutter Week was the g

Pistons vs Knicks Picks, Predictions & Odds Tonight - NBA

The Detroit Pistons are teetering on the edge. Not of relevance this season mind you, that ship has already long sailed. They’re hanging on by a thread to their relevance as a franchise, getting booed out of their own barn regularly, and are staring down some historic infamy if they can’t get a win soon. Unfortunately, the NBA odds are against them on Thursday, November 30. The New York Knicks have been one of the more reliable teams this season, and they’ve taken care of Business consistently against the NBA ’s bottom feeders. Our free NBA picks for Pistons vs. Knicks believe New York’s strong identity and Jalen Brunson’s leadership should see them cover against Detroit. Pistons vs Knicks odds Pistons vs Knicks predictions Since Sam Hinkie instituted “The Process” in Philadelphia, multi-season tanking efforts have become an accepted practice in the modern NBA, but just because you can tilt the lottery odds in your favor, doesn’t mean that it comes without risk.

Quick facts When is it? Every November 30th Tagged as Baking Chocolate Food & Drink What's the hashtag? #NationalMousseDay Have we missed something? My favourite dish is my chocolate mousse, it’s like heaven on earth. Nancy Pelosi Mousse of all kinds is incredibly delicious, a rich and rapturous creation that can only be truly perfected by a culinary hero who is the culmination of chef and artist. While dessert mousse is the most popular and well-known creations, especially chocolate mousse, not everyone knows that there are actually many different varieties of mousse, both savory and sweet, and hot and cold. National Mousse Day celebrates this amazing dish and the artists who create it. History of National Mousse Day While most people are familiar with the iconic chocolate mousse and all of its dessert mousse cousins, the original mousse was actually made in the 18th century by French culinary experts. These mousses were savory in nature, as the s

Seahawks vs Cowboys touchdown scorer predictions at +375 & +260 odds

This week’s TNF matchup breaks the trend by being a game between two teams that people might actually enjoy watching. We’ve had some clunkers in this slot (who can forget the Panthers vs Bears matchup from Week 10?) but we have a chance of some decent entertainment this week if the Seattle Seahawks can just step up on their last couple of efforts when they face the Dallas Cowboys. Picking TD scorers has not been easy in recent primetime games, with only 1 scored in the Bears-Vikings game on Monday and 3 (scored by just 2 players) in the Ravens-Chargers game on Sunday Night Football in Week 12, but this game (like most Cowboys games) has the potential to make betting this market more pleasurable again. B e sure to also check out all of our NFL picks for this week’s game, but now let’s take a look at my favorite anytime touchdown scorer picks for Thursday Night Football.

You remember all of those sometimes cute, sometimes funny, and sometimes downright obnoxious electronic greeting cards that used to appear in your email inbox? Well, if you hadn’t guessed it, there’s actually a day devoted to electronic greetings. Fittingly, that day is known as Electronic Greetings Day. History of Electronic Greetings Day With Technology growing to be an ever more important component of our day to day lives over the last few decades and the fact that it’s continuing to do so (no arguing – in all likelihood you’re reading this article on a computer, a smartphone, or a tablet), the advent of electronic greetings became inevitable.

The Toronto Raptors have already been eliminated from the NBA’s inaugural In-Season Tournament, but they can play spoilers when they visit the Brooklyn Nets in their final group stage game on Tuesday night. Meanwhile, the Nets need a win tonight if they want to keep their NBA Cup hopes alive. But that will be easier said than done as oddsmakers have them set as slight 1.5-home favorites against a Raptors team that has covered the spread in five of their last six games. I break down the NBA odds for this In-Season Tournament matchup and bring you the best bet in my NBA picks and predictions for Raptors vs. Nets on Tuesday, November 28.  Raptors vs Nets odds Raptors vs Nets predictions This Toronto Raptors season has already been a roller coaster and it doesn’t feel like it's going to change anytime soon.

Braxton Jones trolls Jefferson after Bears defeat Vikings

The Chicago Bears defeated the Minnesota Vikings 12-10 on Monday night in an ugly Game on both sides. Vikings quarterback Josh Dobbs threw four interceptions and the Bears didn’t even score a single touchdown. Bears offensive tackle Braxton Jones summed up the win after the Game : “It was ugly, but we still gettin’ griddy on it though!” as he danced away with guard Ja’Tyre Carter. Ironically, the “griddy” is a dance that Vikings receiver Justin Jefferson made famous as he uses it as his touchdown celebration (the irony being that the Bears didn’t score a touchdown at all).

Quick facts When is it? Every November 28th Tagged as Items & Things Science & Technology What's the hashtag? #RedPlanetDay Have we missed something? Earth dwellers have been fascinated by our next door neighboring planet for many generations. And the NASA space program has been seeking to explore and learn more about it for many decades. This so-called red planet appears in the sky as a slightly red color due to its rusty iron on the surface. History of Red Planet Day Red Planet Day is celebrated on November 28 as it commemorates the launch of the Spacecraft Mariner 4 by NASA in 1964, which was the first craft to ever reach Mars. It took almost eight full months for the craft to reach the red planet, finally performing a fly-by on July 14, 1965.

Bears vs Vikings NFL Player Props: 2 best bets for MNF | Pickswise

NFL Week 12 comes to a close with an NFC North matchup as the Chicago Bears battle the Minnesota Vikings on Monday Night Football. The Vikings are looking to keep their hopes of winning the divisional title alive in this one, while the Bears will want to bounce back from last week’s collapse against the Lions. Let’s dive into my two favorite NFL player prop bets for Bears vs Vikings. Check out our full Chicago Bears vs Minnesota Vikings predictions Alexander Mattison, RB, MIN, Under 45.5 rushing yards (-115)  Line available at BetMGM Sports book at time of publishing. This line feels a little too high to me and like an overreaction to Mattison’s game against the Broncos last week when he went for 81 yards and a touchdown. What’s important to bear in mind, however, is that the Broncos have given up an average of 5.4 yards per carry this season, which is the most in the NFL. By contrast, the Bears allow an average of 3.4 yards per carry, which is the fewest in the NFL. That Broncos

NBA In-Season Tournament: can the Warriors still qualify for the quarter-finals?

Image
A starring performance from Steph Curry on Friday evening kept the Golden State Warriors alive in the NBA In-Season Tournament. Curry notched 35 points in the 118-112 victory over the San Antonio Spurs at Chase Center. That win leaves the Warriors with a 2-1 record in the new tournament, trailing only the Sacramento Kings (3-0) in West Group C. Fortunately for Golden State, they take on the Kings in their final game of the group stage. They need a victory over the Kings to level their respective records. Then, they need the Minnesota Timberwolves to beat the Oklahoma City Thunder in the other remaining West Group C fixture. No other player in NBA history has more than 97 such games 🤯 By the Numbers, powered by @googlecloud pic.twitter.com/ZLttRLiGZM — Golden State Warriors (@warriors) November 26, 2023 This would leave the Warriors, the Kings and the Timberwolves with equal records and head-to-heads. Top spot would then be decided by point differential. The Kings currently have th

Bagnaia: Ducati did "everything perfect" to defend MotoGP title

Bagnaia and Pramac title rival Jorge Martin came into the championship decider in Valencia split by 14 points after the latter won the sprint on Saturday. But the championship battle came to a halt on lap six of the grand prix when Martin collided with Honda's Marc Marquez on the eight-time world champion's final appearance for the team while battling for fifth. Bagnaia went on to win the race for his second title in a row, becoming the first rider since Marquez to win consecutive titles. Asked how he felt about that fact, Bagnaia said: "I feel well, it's fantastic. And even more with the number one, finishing second in the championship could be a very bad result. "I couldn't be happy with a second position in the championship because a number one plate means that you need to demonstrate that you are the number one and I think we did everything perfect to be considered the number ones.
