What’s in a number?
There seems to be a general consensus that both 13 and friday are individually unlucky so together they become disastrous! this article might explain some of the origins of our fears!
Several stories revolve around food and meals so to celebrate the two Friday 13ths in 2013 (13 weeks apart) we are creating 13 meals over 13 weeks each involving the number 13.
