NATIONAL LOST SOCK MEMORIAL DAY
|
May 9th recognizes a fun and unique holiday, National Lost Sock Memorial Day. It is time to say “good-bye” to all
of the single socks, the ones where their mates have been lost to the unknown.
|
|
Where do all the missing socks go?
Is there a washing machine heaven?
This is a question that people have been trying to solve for many centuries.
An answer may never be found to this problem, and life will go on.
How sad to have lost such a close-knit friend!
Of course, since before the dawn of Tupperware inventors have attempted the prevention of such separation anxiety. Alas, if they had succeeded mismatched socks wouldn’t be popular today.
And, we there wouldn’t be National Lost Sock Memorial Day.
|
|
On May 9th raise your glass and toast National Moscato Day.
|
|
Moscato, or Muscat in Italian, is one
of the oldest known variety of
grapes grown in the world.
The grape can be white to almost black and the flavor from sweet to dry.
Because of this, it is quite versatile and is used to make everything from sparkling and dessert wines to dry and floral wines. Where one Moscato may pair well with a steak, another will go well with fresh fruit and a sharp cheese plate.
In February 2012, it was reported that Moscato wine became the third most popular white wine consumed within
the United States.
|
|
NATIONAL BUTTERSCOTCH
BROWNIE DAY
|
National Butterscotch Brownie Day is observed annually on May 9th.
Butterscotch Brownies are also known as Blondies or Brookie (brownie + cookie).
|
|
Blonde brownies were actually created before the chocolate brownies. Butterscotch brownies are made up of flour, brown sugar, butter, eggs, baking powder and vanilla. Walnuts, pecans or butterscotch chips are sometimes added to the brownies.
HOW TO OBSERVE
Want to keep it simple? Enjoy this
recipe
from Taste of Home for Butterscotch Brownie Day and share with us using #ButterscotchBrownieDay. Don’t forget to serve your butterscotch brownie topped with ice cream and butterscotch or caramel sauce. YUM!!!
|
|
|
|
Sleepovers have always played an important role in both friendships and memory making.
On May 9th, National Sleepover Day provides an opportunity once again for girls to confide in their friends in a way that can be inspiring, therapeutic, and confidence-building.
