Your first thought surrounding the sponge is probably the scrubbing sponge or bath sponge. Neither of these would be very appetizing. Then, there are the sea sponges from which the idea of scrubbing or bathing with a sponge was popularized by the ancient Greeks and Romans. Of course, these sea 'animals' are also not for ingesting. So-o-o-o-o, what is on the menu for celebration that is related to the sponge? Via Sharla Shults

The term 'upside down' is not always positively speaking. However, on this day, it is definitely a day to be upside down and lovin' it! When it comes to baking, this delight was originally made in a skillet, thus, called 'skillet cake'. Fruit was placed in the skillet with batter poured on top, then, baked, inverted and voila! the bottom becomes a beautifully decorated top. Via Sharla Shults

The word for today is "praline". No other spelling other than p-r-a-l-i-n-e. How you pronounce it is an entirely different and somewhat debatable subject matter. Pray-leen, praw-line or prah-lean? In the good ol' USA, the most acceptable pronunciation is "pray-leen". You know...just like something you do in church. Along the East Coast of Georgia, it's pronounced "praw-line" if you please. In Louisiana and along the Gulf Coast, the tendency leans more toward the southern “prah-leen” because of the French cultural influence in the area. The candy's namesake after all is du Plessis-Praslin, a 17th century French nobleman. No matter how you pronounce it, praline candy makes for a mighty fine treat. Via Sharla Shults
