Pirozhki Day- October 8th

On 8 October, the International Day of Pirozhki is celebrated. The Pirozhki is a stuffed pastry dish originating in Eastern Europe.
The Pirozhki is a bun of fried or baked yeast dough filled with meat, potatoes, cabbage, onions, eggs, fish, steamed vegetables and more.
This is how it is written in Russian: пирожки.
There are different styles in different kitchens, such as in the Caucasian kitchen where they are usually filled with potatoes and sold as fast food.
Balkan cuisine fills it with different things and sells it mainly as fast food. In the Balti kitchen it becomes a crescent shaped (like croissant), made from baked bread dough, and filled with onions and pork, potatoes, mushrooms and cabbage. Latvians also serve sweet versions of Pirozhki.
In Central Asian countries, such as Kazakhstan, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, Kyrgyzstan, and Uzbekistan, the Persian is a popular fast food that they knew from the Russians. People of non-Russian origin also prepare a verse at home.
In Mongolia, too, they like to make piroshki in many houses.
In the Romanian kitchen there is a dish with a similar name, Piroşcă, which is deep-fried dough with fried onions and stuffed with potatoes. The Pirozhki is served hot or very hot.

October 8th is also Octopus Day

Teflon Day - April 6

On April 6, 1938, Dr. Roy Plankt accidentally invented the Teflon compound.

It happened while he was working in a lab in New Jersey, when he happened to discover with his assistant the compound polytetrafluoroethylene called Teflon for short. Teflon is a slippery material that is often used to coat Teflon pans. It prevents dirt from sticking to the pan even when heated.

The first Teflon-coated pan was marketed in the United States in 1961.

Dr. Plankt was added to the Inventors' Hall of Fame in 1985.

In the 1980s the word Teflon also became a cultural concept when US President Ronald Reagan was called "the president of Teflon", the one that nothing bad will stick to and has the ability to come out of scandals without a single stain.

Today Teflon can be found everywhere, in metal and fabric coatings, in industry, in space, and even in clothing and medicines and of course, in almost every kitchen.
