Good Morning and Happy Thursday Speakies:
Today in 1959 it was a sad day for us youngsters for George Reeves (aka Superman) committed suicide. I remember where I was when I heard the news and it spread throughout the neighborhood like wildfire among us kids. Foul play is still suspected but cannot be proven, that’s Hollywood for you.
On a brighter note it is “FRESH VEGGIES DAY.” All veggies are collected fresh it’s what they do to them after they are picked. This day could mean they are honoring the veggies we eat raw, okay I like some raw vegetables but I’m picky. Tomatoes, lettuce, celery, green peppers, banana peppers are my favorites. You can have the raw broccoli, cauliflower, asparagus they are not my cup of tea. So have some of your favorites tonight if you like as a snack with a little ranch dressing.
NATIONAL FUDGE DAY – Too sweet for me never cared for fudge candy nor Salt Water Taffy.
And how could we forget “CRACKER JACK DAY.” Founded by a German immigrant named Frederick William Rueckheim, together with his brother Louis came up with a popcorn like candy and first mass produced it at the first Chicago World’s Fair in 1893. It was a mixture of popcorn, molasses and peanuts and the initial name was “Candied Popcorn and Peanuts.” The product was immortalized in 1908 in the lyrics of the song “Take Me Out to the Ball Game.” The mascots Sailor Jack and his dog Bingo became the official trademark in 1919. Cracker Jack is still around today and owned by Frito-Lay Corporation.
Hope you all enjoyed a little history of food today and I wish you all a great day and a wonderful evening. Be careful out there.
