Following on the heels of Lima Bean Respect Day, April 21 is National Chickpea Day, figures....
Also, The State of Texas celebrates San Jacinto Day every year on April 21. It commemorates the Battle of San Jacinto, also known as Batalla de San Jacinto, that finally ended the Texas Revolution in La Porte and Pasadena, Texas. Under the command of General Samuel Houston on April 21, 1836, the Texan Army triumphed over the Mexican army led by General Antonio López de Santa Anna, who eventually signed a peace treaty that forced Mexican troops to retreat from the state. Consequently, the Republic of Texas became an independent country.

from Xerces Society:
"Happy Earth Day! Bugs are in trouble, and our yards are part of the answer
To use our little slices of the world to support bugs, we need to provide the right conditions for these animals to take shelter, find food and water, and reproduce. Traditional landscaping practices almost never meet all these needs for most animals. But it’s easy to add small features, like a rock pile, water source, or leafy corner, that can make a big difference for wildlife!
These microhabitats are our focus at Xerces for this year’s Earth Week! Each day on our blog, we will be highlighting the importance of a different habitat feature, teaching you how to build it, and introducing you to the wonderful bugs that need it to thrive."
I think it's National Scotch Whisky Day, so I bought a bottle of OBAN.

In the bush in VN we had a canned C-Ration meal called Ham and Lima Beans.
No offense Edward, but it was so bad we called it Ham and Mother F ckers.
