the Re:Dracula episode for 20 September covers the text of both the 20 and 21 September Dracula Daily emails (see Matt Kirkland's explanatory note)

as my tags from last year follow the way it's split in the emails, this convention will continue for consistency, even for posts that are talking about the Re:Dracula episode

so:

tagged 20 September = 20 September Dracula Daily email and/or up to timestamp 19:23 of the 20 September Re:Dracula episode

tagged 21 September = 21 September Dracula Daily email and/or 19:23 to end of the 20 September Re:Dracula episode

posts that are ambiguously about the entire Re:Dracula episode, as well as posts about the song at the end, will be tagged with both dates to make them more findable in future

additionally, posts that refer explicitly to 21 September happenings will only be reblogged after the email gets sent out, to avoid spoiling those who are only following the emails

hope this admin note is clear!

20th September is one of the most horrific entry I've ever heard. The grief and the strangeness that surrounds Lucy's death. I'm as terrified as heart broken

When a customer tried to pay for five gallons of gasoline with a $10 gold certificate, the station attendant became suspicious. He wrote down the license plate number on the bill and called the cops. A little research revealed that the tag had been issued to Bruno Richard Hauptmann, 1279 East 222nd Street, the Bronx.

It had been two and a half years since the kidnaping and murder of Charles Lindbergh, Jr., but the FBI finally had its man. Additional ransom certificates were found in Hauptmann's garage, and his appearance closely fitted a description given to the authorities by the go-between who had delivered the ransom money. On September 20, 1934, he was booked on a charge of extortion. Eventually he was also convicted of kidnaping and murder, and died in the electric chair on April 3, 1936.

20 September: Queen Katherine Parr's Letter in Latin to Princess Mary

20 September: Queen Katherine writes to Princess Mary in Latin about her translation of Erasmus's gospel of St. John.

The official date of the letter is actually confusing. It was either written while Katherine Parr was Queen Regent in 1544 or as Dowager Queen in 1547. The messenger mentioned in the letter is most likely Walter Erle, groom of the Queen’s privy chamber, who also served as her musician on the virginals, but possible Robert Cooch, steward of her wine cellar whose skill in music was commended by…

There is an art to staying on your bicycle when the light turns red. It requires a few conditional scenarios to line up.

Firstly, of course, there is the skill of it. Holding your balance on a bike when standing still is something you learn mostly from experience.

Then there is the fact that your chances of success rise exponentially if the bicycle you're on is one you are familiar with.

The same might as well be said for the intersection you're on. Knowing the timing of the lights means you unconsciously feel the moment of relief is near.

Lastly, it is usually a good idea there be no one else - or otherwise very few others - on the road with you.

Today the stars aligned. A route to the blood donation centre I've ridden countless times before. An empty cycle path. A light turning to red about five seconds before I reached it. And a bicycle that is my trusty mode of transport in daily life.

It was close, but I felt in my blood that the light could switch back any moment. The cars from the crossing road had taken their turns, and I couldn't see their traffic lights, but surely they had changed to red again. And just in time, with my wiggling my steering wheel this way and that and hopping a little bit more to the left than I should, just as I was about to tip over, the little green bicycle appeared, and I was off again.

National Pepperoni Pizza Day

A perfect combination of cheesy goodness and savory toppings, this classic dish is a crowd-pleaser that's perfect for any occasion.

Almost everyone would have to agree with Mr. James about the feeling of pizza. There are a series of promises inherently made in that fragrant, warm cardboard box. Rich, savory red sauce and the long tantalizing stretch of delicious cheese are held within, a delicious treasure to share with friends and family, or hog all alone. The perfect topping for this delicious dish absolutely must be some slices of well-spiced pepperoni. National Pepperoni Pizza Day reminds everyone to give this classic a place in their day, and take a well-earned break from cooking.

History of National Pepperoni Pizza Day

Pepperoni pizza has become the standard pizza for people all over the world. In fact, it stands apart as the singularly most ordered type of pizza on the entire planet. Whether buying pizza for a birthday party or a day at the office, pretty much everyone knows that they can be guaranteed a positive response by buying one topped with pepperoni!

The pizza is believed to have first been developed in Italy in 1889 by Raffaele Esposito, though others claim that the first one was sold in 1738 in Naples, Italy.

Pepperoni is one of many cased meats (like salami, but spicier) that likely traces its origins back to Italian immigrants to New York City in the early 1900s. At least, the first known mention of pepperoni is when they began appearing in delis and at pizzerias all throughout the city, made from a mix of beef and pork and some added spices (specifically peppers–which is where the name was derived from).

With a finer grain than most Italian meats, pepperoni is softer, which makes it a favorite for putting on top of pizza!

It wasn’t until the 1950s that pizza became a widespread dish in the United States. The first mention of pizza in the US was in a New York Times article that called it “a pie popular in Southern Italy”. And, even then, it was continuing to develop flavor over time. One of the best developments, of course, was the addition of pepperoni. And it has grown into an American icon ever since.

Now it’s time to celebrate National Pepperoni Pizza Day!

How to Celebrate National Pepperoni Pizza Day

Eat Pepperoni Pizza All Day Long

Pizza can certainly be consumed at every point in the day, piping hot for dinner and lunch, and cold in the morning. Some people even profess that pizza tastes far better cold than it does hot from the oven, though it seems that would be largely dependent on the type of pizza.

People who want to go all out for celebrating this day can enjoy starting National Pepperoni Pizza Day by popping a pepperoni pizza Hot Pocket into the microwave for breakfast. They are simply delicious and a great (even if not so healthy) way to start the day.

Then, of course, there is the pepperoni with pineapple for lunch and pepperoni with olives and mushrooms for dinner. No matter what is added to a pizza, as long as it starts with pepperoni, it is guaranteed to be absolutely delicious.

Pepperoni is considered to be the most popular pizza topping in the United States, with a majority of at least 66%. Even though people get more and more creative with pizza toppings each year, pepperoni continues to hold its own as the favorite.

In August of 1994, the first ever physical good to be purchased on the internet was a pepperoni and mushroom pizza. It was purchased through Pizza Hut’s website, at the time called “PizzaNet”. The company’s record for the most pizza sold online in one day was set on Super Bowl 2021, where more than $10 million in digital sales were made even before halftime hit.

Americans consume more than 250 million pounds of pepperoni on their pizza slices each year. Now that’s a lot of delicious pizza!

The first pizzeria to open in America was Lombardi’s in New York City, New York. Originally a grocery store, it started selling pizzas in 1905.

Host a National Pepperoni Pizza Day Party

Get together with friends for a pizza party, and share what everyone’s favorite additions are to a standard pepperoni pizza. It’s easy to pick up some cheap pepperoni pizza at a local pizza joint, or throw some frozen pizzas in the oven.

For a fun National Pepperoni Pizza Day Party activity, try making individual pizzas and letting everyone top add their own toppings. Buying premade refrigerated pizza dough makes a super easy base to start with. Then supply tomato sauce (better when doctored with spices), grated cheese and, of course, ample amounts of pepperoni. Bake them and serve them hot to each individual guest. This is a party activity that is loads of fun and also delicious!

Get Deals and Discounts on Pepperoni Pizza

Of course, it’s likely that eventually most people will come around but, in the meantime, people can certainly agree on pepperoni pizza being the best pizza of all!
