It’s National Chop Suey Day!
Chop suey is a Chinese-American stir fry dish consisting of meat (such as chicken, pork, or beef) and vetables like bean sprouts, cabbage, and celery all cooked in a starchy, thickened sauce. It is typically served over rice, or with crispy noodles on top.
Originating in the United States, the dish’s name literally means “odds and ends”, or “miscellaneous pieces”, reflecting its adaptable nature as it was originally created to use whatever ingredients were on hand.

The most terrible wedding guests according to the internet:
A mother-in-law brought her brother-in-law, who had COVID, to the wedding and infected many guests.
The bride’s grandmother abruptly walked out halfway through the vows, saying only: “I’ve had enough!” She waited in the car until someone drove her home.
At the reception, the bride’s parents got on the mic and announced their separation to everyone in attendance.
