Clams, Taters, and a Pop Quiz: It's a Funny Kind of Tuesday on NBC Palm Springs
First up, it is National Clams on the Half Shell Day, a coastal classic that has been popular since Rhode Island put it on the map well over a century ago. Not a clam person? No problem, because today also belongs to the mighty potato in all its glorious forms. National Tater Day is a celebration of one of the most versatile ingredients in the kitchen, the kind of easy, crowd-pleasing dinner staple that never lets you down.
Rounding out the calendar, National Farm Workers Day pays tribute to the dedicated workers who grow our food right here in the Coachella Valley and beyond. A well-deserved salute to the folks who make it all possible.
And then there is National She's Funny That Way Day, a holiday honoring all the women in your life who bring the laughs, from celebrities to coworkers to the friend who always has the room in stitches.
