NATIONAL SACHER TORTE DAY
|
Sacher Torte Day encourages us to enjoy our cake on December 5th.
Actually, enjoy a torte and you will be enjoying a type of cake.
Sacher Torte, also known as Sachertorte,
is a unique type of chocolate cake. Austrian, Franz Sacher, invented it in 1832. Vienna considers the Sachertorte one of their most famous culinary specialties.
At the age of 16, Franz Sacher was only
an apprentice to the chef when Prince Wenzel Von Metternich ordered a special dessert from the kitchen for his guests.
|
|
With the chef ill, Sacher stepped in for his superior and created what is known worldwide as the Sacher Torte.
His son, Eduard, went on to perfect this decadent dessert. The Sacher Torte is created with apricot jam between layers of rich, chocolate sponge cake and topped with a layer of chocolate icing.
The original recipe is a secret protected today and served exclusively by the Sacher Hotels in Vienna and Salzburg.
Cake vs. Torte
While cakes and tortes are very similar.
In fact, tortes are a type of cake.
It’s the ingredients that make a torte a torte. Similar to the ingredients that make an angel food cake bake up light and tall, a torte’s ingredients give it a heavier base and a tighter crumb.
Additionally, tortes tend to be layered crosswise with ganache, frosting or fruit. Tortes use very little flour and use ground nuts or breadcrumbs instead.
There a variety of tortes to make.
Some tortes only have a couple of layers. However, others stack up thin, beautiful layers full of rich flavor.

Bathtub Party Day encourages us all
to skip the ordinary shower and linger
in the tub instead.
On December 5th, add some suds to
the tub and pamper yourself.
Gather your favorite bath bomb, a good book and a glass of Moscato and let the worries of the day fade away while you relax in the tub.
And be sure to use soap behind those ears of yours too!

On December 5th, National Repeal Day commemorates the day Prohibition ended in the United States.
Prohibition grew out a practice of moderation rooted in the Protestant churches in America. By the 1830s, consumption of alcohol, especially hard spirits, was affecting the nation.
Most participants were male.
Those who supported who joined the Temperance movement saw alcohol as the root of all evil. The movement took hold at a time when women had few rights, and the country was debating slavery.
Ethics and mores were changing.
The Temperance movement shifted the view on alcohol use from moderation to eradication.
The following decades would see organizations such as the Prohibition Party, Women’s Christian Temperance Union, and Anti-Saloon League formed.
|
|
By 1838, Tennessee would pass the first legislation prohibiting the sale of alcohol. Some new states would enter the union as dry states. In 1919, the 18th Amendment was ratified, banning the production, transportation, and sale of alcoholic beverages. However, the legislation did not prohibit the consumption of such drinks.
The Amendment went into effect in 1920, and numerous businesses closed.
Beyond the loss of brewers and bars, governments lost tax revenues. Additionally, the cost of enforcing prohibition was expensive.
Those determined to produce, transport, and sell alcohol created a black market
that crisscrossed the nation.
Their illicit methods became notorious and the stuff of legend. In 1929, the stock market crashed.
During the years of Prohibition, use of the term “gangster” increased.
The term “moonshine” reached its peak usage.
Prohibition’s “great experiment” was a significant failure. The term “bootlegger” would reach its peak usage as Prohibition neared the end of its lifespan.
Congress proposed the 21st Amendment to the Constitution on February 20, 1933.
The amendment repealed the 18th Amendment and was ratified on December 5th that year.
