How to celebrate Aug 13th

Embark on a day of indulgence starting with a bubbly breakfast toast to kick off the festivities. Head to a local bakery to pick up some fresh pastries, then swing by the grocery store for a bottle of Prosecco. Treat yourself to a luxurious morning feast of Prosecco mimosas and pastries in bed, setting a decadent tone for the day ahead.

For a lunch that’s fit for a celebration, head to the local butcher or grocery store and grab a couple of filet mignon steaks. Fire up the grill or a skillet, season the steaks to your liking, and cook them to perfection. Pair the juicy steaks with a side of grilled vegetables or a fresh salad for a hearty and satisfying midday meal.

In the afternoon, take some time to appreciate the uniqueness of being left-handed. Challenge yourself to do everyday tasks with your non-dominant hand – whether it’s writing, using utensils, or even brushing your teeth. Embrace the quirks of being a lefty and revel in the camaraderie of celebrating this unconventional trait.

Cap off the day with a delightful dinner featuring filet mignon as the star of the show. Cook up the remaining steaks using a different recipe to keep things interesting. Serve the steaks alongside a glass of Prosecco to honor the special national holidays with a touch of elegance.

End the night with a cozy movie marathon featuring films that prominently feature left-handed characters or scenes involving food and drink. Snuggle up with a blanket and a glass of Prosecco to savor the last moments of this unique and indulgent day. Cheers to celebrating the little things that make life enjoyable and memorable!
