NATIONAL CHOCOLATE COVERED CHERRY DAY
|
Recognized by the National Confectioners Association and celebrated by millions of people across the country, January 3rd is National Chocolate Covered Cherry Day.
It is almost impossible to eat just one of these chocolate covered cherry candies that have combined two favorite flavors into one delicious treat.
|
|
The candy often is made with a sweet liquid center and in some cases has a liquor filling center.
Known to many as a mid-winter pick-me-up, chocolate covered cherries, also called chocolate cordials, can be either store-bought or homemade. There are also many recipes that mimic the flavor of the long known and well-loved candy.
In the 1700s in England, cherries were enclosed in chocolate with a little kirsch (cordial) liqueur. After finding their way to the United States, Americans received them quite well, delighting in the little bit of alcoholic cordial surrounding the fruit dipped in chocolate. Although originally made with the liqueur, cordials/chocolate covered cherries are more commonly made with a sugar syrup flavored with cherries. The pitted cherries have been cooked in sugar syrup and jarred.

NATIONAL DRINKING
STRAW DAY
|
On January 3rd, 1888, Marvin C. Stone received the patent for the paper
drinking straw.
In acknowledgment of that invention,
each year on January 3rd, people across the nation observe National Drinking
Straw Day.
|
|
It is believed the very first drinking straws were used by the Sumerians for drinking beer. Archaeologists speculate they used the straws to avoid the solid byproducts of fermentation that would have sunk to the bottom. The oldest drinking straw known to be in existence was found in a Sumerian tomb dated 3,000 B.C.E.
This found straw was a gold tube inlaid with a precious blue stone.
The Argentines used a similar metallic device called a bombilla.
Used for hundreds of years, the bombilla acted as both a straw and a sieve.
Today, manufacturers make a variety of reusable straws. From stainless steel and glass to bamboo and silicone, they not only save money and the environment but they are also fun to use. They come in a variety of creative shapes and colors.
|
|
NATIONAL FRUITCAKE
TOSS DAY
|
National Fruitcake Toss Day is annually observed on January 3rd (occasionally listed as the first Saturday in December).
|
|
Many people receive fruitcakes as gifts sometime during the holiday season. Some people eat the holiday bread. Others may re-gift them. There are those who sneakily throw them away and others who will do so openly.
But on the third day of January, another type of fruitcake, ahem, person comes out of the woodwork. These are the characters who have hoarded them, stored them and hid them so they can celebrate National Fruitcake Toss Day.
