National Espresso Day

The espresso coffee machine was invented in Italy in 1901 by Luigi Bezzera in order to decrease his employees' coffee break time and increase their productivity. Bezzera's machine used steam pressure to force hot water through the ground coffee filters. This allowed coffee to be prepared quickly by the cup on demand and the resulting brew of coffee was also stronger in flavor and body. Bezzera's patent was sold in 1903 to Desidero Pavoni who began commercially producing and distributing the espresso machines throughout Europe. 

Espresso has since become a worldwide, beloved drink of coffee enthusiasts. Between the frothy, smooth texture and pleasant aroma, a cup of espresso is certainly a divine experience.

Celebrate National Espresso Day by purchasing a cup of espresso at your favorite coffee shop or make your own using an espresso coffee machine like the one Luigi Bezzera invented!

International Men's Day

Today is International Men's Day! This holiday focuses on improving men's health, promoting gender equality, and highlighting positive male role models.

The establishment of International Men's Day has been in the works since at least the 1960's. Dr. Jerome Teelucksingh of the University of West Indies realized the importance of male role models in society and he began promoting the event. He finally received written support from United Nations officials a little over a decade ago and it was observed for the first time on November 19, 1999 in Trinidad and Tobago. The date was originally chosen because it is the birthday of Dr. Teelucksingh's father, a major role model in his life. Since it's origin, many other countries have joined in its efforts including Jamaica, Australia, India, United Kingdom, Canada, and the United States. 

Celebrations of International Men's Day include marches, debates, panel discussions, public seminars, art displays, and much more. Each year typically has a theme associated with it. To learn more about this holiday and events going on in your area, check out the official website.

Homemade Bread Day

Nothing beats the aroma of freshly baked bread wafting through the air. In the early 1900s, women used to bake fresh bread every day as part of their daily routine. Some even made their own yeast! As time went on, if people needed bread they just went to their local bakeries rather than baking the bread themselves.

Today, homemade bread making is extremely rare without a breadmaker machine. This appliance was first released in Japan in 1986. Since then it's popularity has spread worldwide to Australia, the United Kingdom, and the United States. Some breadmakers can also be set to make other things such as pasta dough, jam, or Japanese style rice cakes.

To celebrate Homemade Bread Day, find a recipe for your favorite type of bread and try your hand at some old fashioned homemade bread baking!

National Fast Food Day

Fast food has become an American staple. There are over 300,000 fast food restaurants in the United States alone, making it nearly impossible to drive down the road without going by at least one fast food chain restaurant.

The concept of ready-cooked food for sale began in Ancient Roman cities that had street stands selling bread and wine. It was not until 1867 though that the first American fast food restaurant, Coney Island hot dog stand, opened in New York.

Since then, dozens of other fast food restaurants have opened and franchised throught the United States and the rest of the world. Their popularity soared because of their convenience and low prices.

Need more proof of the popularity of fast food? In 1970 U.S. consumers spent $6 billion on fast food. Thirty years later in 2000 U.S. consumers spent $110 billion! Take part in this American tradition and enjoy National Fast Food Day!

America Recycles Day

Did you know that recycling 1 ton of paper saves 17 trees, 2 barrels of oil, 4100 kilowatts of energy, 3.2 cubic yards of landfill space, and 60 pounds of air pollution?

These environmental benefits should be enough incentive for everyone to take part in the simple activity of recycling. Americans throw away enough aluminum to rebuild the entire United States commercial fleet of airplanes every three months. By reusing Earth's natural resources, we reduce green house gas emissions and the need to build landfills. We also ensure that these natural resources will be around for future generations to use.

America Recycles Day celebrates all of the benefits associated with recycling and encourages people to do their part. Learn more about this holiday and what you can do to help!

National Pizza With Everything (Except Anchovies) Day celebrates all of the different toppings you can put on your pizza to suit your own tastes and preferences. And though having fish on pizza isn't the worst thing in the world, the strong salty flavor of anchovies masks all of the other delicious toppings on your pizza. So order your pizza today with all your favorite toppings, but keep it anchovy-free!

National Scrapple Day

Did you know that scrapple is arguably the first pork food invented in America? It was first created more than 200 years ago by Dutch colonists who settled near Philadelphia. It is similar in both composition and taste to Ireland's white pudding and Hog's pudding of West Country in England.

Scrapple got its name because it is composed of "scraps" of pork combined with cornmeal and spices. The mixture is formed into a mostly solid loaf, and then it is sliced and panfried before serving. It is typically eaten for breakfast, topped with syrup or ketchup. Some regions of the United States like New England often mix scrapple in with scrambled eggs. Enjoy National Scrapple Day!

National Harvey Wallbanger Day

Legend has it that the Harvey Wallbanger cocktail was named after a Manhattan Beach surfer. While the inventor of the Harvey Wallbanger is not known for sure, it is true that little was known about this drink outside of California until 1970. Its popularity grew nationwide after it began being featured as a cocktail on TWA flights.

The popularity of the Harvey Wallbanger also grew because of a liquor company's marketing campaign. The campaign included an illustrated character, a funky name, and Harvey Wallbanger parties. A sales rep even purchased an airline ticket for the Harvey Wallbanger blow-up character who, just like everyone else, had his own seat, seat belt, meal, and beverage.

So what is a Harvey Wallbanger anyway? Three parts vodka, one part Galliano, and six parts orange juice. Garnish with an orange slice and serve one up for National Harvey Wallbanger Day. Cheers!

National Deviled Egg Day

Did you know that another name for deviled eggs is eggs mimosa? This delectable dish is a favorite tradition in both American and French cultures. Deviled eggs are composed of eggs, mayonnaise, and mustard and can be served as a side dish, appetizer, or a main course.

While deviled eggs originated in ancient Rome, the term "deviled" didn't appear until the 18th century when it was used to describe highly seasoned, fried, or boiled dishes. By the 19th century, the word deviled was used to describe hot seasonings in general. Today, deviled eggs are not always particularly spicy, but they can be with the addition of cayenne pepper or hot mustard.

Deviled eggs are a common holiday or party food, so what better reason to throw a party than National Deviled Egg Day!
