Holidays Calendar explains the celebrated #Parfait in a report linked through 'that word' below; but first I want to understand that word better. And I find you understand words better if you look at 'the words at their base' (then going on to look at the words at those words' bases, then the words at those words' bases, etc.-etc. ad infinitum)
The word “Parfait” is French for Perfect (although there are at least two #Parfaits (can they both be 'perfect'? I don't think so): The #FrenchParfait (like a Custard, the second example below) or the #AmericanParfait (a Layered dish, the first example)).

I sometimes get a little 'thrill' from realizing that I have the same birthday as several famous people, and enough other people get that thrill from seeing their birthday-cohort (both the currently-famous & the probably-not-yet famous) that I figure it's worth doing 'one of these entries for every birthday' ...

This Day's Birthday-Cohort

Astrologically, their sign is Sagitarrius (in the wake of Scorpio) ... no matter WHICH stars they were born under: Christina Applegate, John F. Kennedy Jr., Andrew Carnegie, Amy Grant, Ricardo Montalbán, Joe DiMaggio, Jenna Bush (Hager), Barbara Bush (born 1981, not ... whenever her grandmother was born), John Larroquette, Ben Stein, Pope John XXIII, Dougray Scott, Percy Sledge, Karl Benz, Robert Townsend
the ETERNAL Horoscope-dates

... and many others (most of whom are at the 'Birthday-Cohort' link)---

you might comment telling why we should recognize a special one I missed ...

Or maybe you'd like a reminder of 'where you've seen one of the ones we DO mention'; Ask in your comment!

My Heart of the Nation calendar says that we (Catholics) are celebrating St. Catherine of Alexandria, with the clergy wearing Red Vestments for the Optional Memorial (or Green Vestments for the season, if not White for the national holiday)
