It is National Coffee Day!
I take it almost totally black. Just a tiny splash to take the
bitterness back a bit. I like it in my stouts as well as a
little in brownies.

Now this is worth celebrating!
Coffee makes life better. :) DH has been known to whisper
"Your new coffee arrived, remember?" in my ear while sleeping as
a way of getting me up. It totally works.
And I'm a cream-and-sugar person, because a touch of sweetness
never goes amiss.

Coffee isn't so much a beverage as it is magic.
No sugar in mine, please. I make mine triple strength and then
cut it half and half with hot unsweetened almond milk like a
cafe au lait. At our house we call my coffee "high test."

I didn't know it was Coffee day. I walked into 7-11 this
morning, and as I'm strolling around with my coffee deciding
whether to get something else, a new employee with an accent I
can't quite place (something Caribbean maybe) is telling me free
coffee *if* you get a donut. I go up to the cash register, with
a sausage biscuit, and he says several sentences to me. I don't
understand anything other than "enter your phone number" (maybe
it's that deal when you get discounts with a membership?) and I
say "I'm not going to do that". He glares at me after taking the
money and says adios.
So I offended someone who I largely did not understand....

[move][glow=red,2,300]Today is National Spumoni
Day![/glow][/move]
National Spumoni Day on August 21st celebrates a delicious
frozen treat which hails from southern Italy.
Traditionally, three molded layers of flavored gelato create a
unique dessert. The creamy creation often includes candied
fruits and nuts in two layers and with a third chocolate layer.
According to a Chicago Tribune article from July 4, 1979, a
“genuine spumoni” recipe was brought to the United States from
Nola, Italy in 1905. Salvatore Lezza started a bakery in Chicago
along with his wife, Lucia. Their traditional recipe called for
three layers of semifreddo – an almond layer, semisweet
chocolate, and stracciatella. Stracciatella is a type of gelato
with irregular bits of chocolate in it.
However, around the United States, most spumoni will include a
cherry layer with cherry bits, a layer of pistachio ice cream,
and a layer of chocolate. Other varieties include hazelnut,
vanilla, strawberry, pineapple, just to name a few.
I have never had this but the Italian version sounds better than
the US.

Maggianos used to have that ice cream spumoni thing, covered in
a chocolate shell or ganache, I LOVED it and then they stopped
offering it.

/>
Is National Spicy Gucamole Day, National Pickle Day, National
Pupusa day, and er, World Diabetes Day. Here, have a pickle.
It's the 5th day of Diwali and National Lighten Up Day.
Also, Remembrance Sunday in the UK. Never forget. May I offer
you a pickle as you try to figure out how to mourn and lighten
up at the same time?
