Menu By Calendar: July 1: Creative Ice Cream Flavor Day and National Gingersnap Day
http://menu-by-calendar.blogspot.com/2012/07/july-1-creative-ice-cream-flavor-day.html
Sunday, July 1, 2012. July 1: Creative Ice Cream Flavor Day and National Gingersnap Day. Creative Ice Cream Flavor Day. I've seen this also called National Creative Ice Cream Flavor Day, but I'm not sure if this is an officially recognized food observance, so I'm leaving of the "national.". What makes an ice cream flavor creative? To be a creative flavor, but it seems to be everywhere now. Does it have to be a combination of flavors you don't find anywhere else? I'm actually very tempted to try the sauer...

Menu By Calendar: September 2012
http://menu-by-calendar.blogspot.com/2012_09_01_archive.html
Monday, September 10, 2012. Hiatus.or maybe just sporadic posting. Unfortunately, this semester is shaping up to be a lot harder than I anticipated. Rather than fill this post with explanations why (which I did originally until I realized just how whiny it sounded), I'll keep this short. I'll be putting Menu By Calendar on extended hiatus. Hopefully, I'll get in some sporadic posting and post at least a list of the remaining food celebrations. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). View my complete profile.

Saturday, August 18, 2012. August 18: National Ice Cream Pie Day and National Soft Ice Cream Day. Two cold treats are celebrated today! Even though the temps aren't as hot as last month, cold treats are very much welcome. National Ice Cream Pie Day. I couldn't find anything on the history of ice cream pie, but I did find out there's an ice cream pie for everyone. Like chocolate chip cookies? Try this chocolate chip cookie-inspired ice cream pie.

Menu By Calendar: June 18: National Sushi Day and National Cherry Tart Day
http://menu-by-calendar.blogspot.com/2012/06/june-18-national-sushi-day-and-national.html
Monday, June 18, 2012. June 18: National Sushi Day and National Cherry Tart Day. At first, I thought it was ironic that America has a lot of "national" food celebrations of food that is distinctly not an American tradition. But then I realized it's just a reflection of our multi-cultural nation and the roots of our nation. As I read recently, the history of a nation is in the cuisine of the nation. Anyhow, so today's National Sushi Day! Sometimes I cheat and use a sushi mold. You can also find plenty of ...

Menu By Calendar: August 15: National Lemon Meringue Pie Day
http://menu-by-calendar.blogspot.com/2012/08/august-15-national-lemon-meringue-pie.html
Wednesday, August 15, 2012. August 15: National Lemon Meringue Pie Day. Lemon meringue pie is one of my all-time favorite pies. I think that's why I'm so afraid to try making it. What if I mess up? Will lemon meringue pie be ruined for me forever? Lemon meringue pie was reportedly created by a Philadephia cook. Who improved upon the Quaker-created lemon custard. (Note to self: add "Eat lemon meringue pie in Philadelphia" to bucket list.). Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). View my complete profile.

Menu By Calendar: August 14: National Creamsicle Day
http://menu-by-calendar.blogspot.com/2012/08/august-14-national-creamsicle-day.html
Tuesday, August 14, 2012. August 14: National Creamsicle Day. Creamsicles are popsicles with ice cream in the center. And I think most people think of the vanilla ice cream and orange flavored popsicle combo when they hear "creamsicle." Creamsicles appear to be very popular and can be found across the country. As with any popular food item, there are many recipes. Some with grapefruit flavor. I don't think any ice cream molds exist yet that will allow for homemade versions to be like the real thing.

Friday, August 17, 2012. August 17: National Vanilla Custard Day. Is suprisingly very varied in form. You can serve it with caramel sauce on top, in the classic Mexican flan. Or how about pairing the sweet vanilla flavor with raspberries. Try serving vanilla custard pie. At your next brunch or take a cue from Guam and serve vanilla custard cake instead. Or how about serving the vanilla custard in individual cups. Food Timeline provides us with some history on custard. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

Sunday, August 26, 2012. I'm sorry folks. With the start of school, a trip to DC, new work responsibilities, and a family visit, I got a little overwhelmed and have fallen behind. Rest assured, I am working on getting caught up, and will hopefully get everything caught up by the end of Labor Day weekend. Sorry, folks, and I appreciate the patience. As well as the concerned messages. :) Thanks. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). View my complete profile. August 18: National Ice Cream Pie Day and National.

Menu By Calendar: August 16: National Rum Day and National Bratwurst Day
http://menu-by-calendar.blogspot.com/2012/08/august-16-national-rum-day-and-national.html
Thursday, August 16, 2012. August 16: National Rum Day and National Bratwurst Day. The only way I've had rum is in mixed drinks. I've never been one to savor rum on it's own, so I've never gotten to the point where I could identify all the notes of rum. To me, one rum is the same as another rum. Obviously, that's the completely wrong way to approach rum, as rums are all very different. If you're planning a wedding and looking to serve a signature cocktail, why not consider a rum cocktail for your wedding.
