I got an email announcing that March 20th is National Ravioli Day.  Who knew?  A quick google search uncovered a probably unreliable website that did indeed verify that it's National Ravioli Day.  But that same website said that March 20th is also Bock Beer Day.  That's reason enough for me to scarf down some Italian food and wash it down with some beers in "celebration." 

Here's a list of places to find said ravioli.
