Happy Exalano Day

In early March, it's very common to fall into the dull diet of the routine. One day just

leads into another, with little excitement, adventure, or spice. When each day is finally

over, there's little worth savoring. We have dined on the commonplace for so long that it's

very easy to forget that we can simply step out and add some flavor to our lives. It's

essential, at this time of year, to remind ourselves that we have to make the effort to

push ourselves away from the table of the typical and do something delicious in order to

alter our everyday life. At this time of year, it's essential that we march forth and really

treat ourselves to something tasty and fun.

Exalano Day was created many years ago as a unique holiday where we are all called upon to march forth from our daily routine and experience something fun and flavorful. The annual call to celebrate Exalano Day has been issued in each of the last forty years by the Exalano Day Committee (the EDC), a very, very small group of people on an annual mission to remind everyone that we all need to march forth from our everyday diet and sample the new and exciting. The word 'Exalano' comes from the Greek word meaning 'to march forth', and hence it is natural to declare that the fourth day of March should be called Exalano Day. On this most unique holiday, the Exalano Day Committee declares that everyone, everywhere, should push away from the table, march forth into the world, and treat ourselves to new, tasty experiences.

On Friday, March 4, 2016, all of us should celebrate Exalano Day by stepping out and looking for new tastes to savor. We deserve to add new and interesting experiences to our lives. Treat yourself to something special on Exalano Day.
