Good Thursday Morning Speakies:
Today we celebrate “KISS AND MAKE UP DAY.” All I can say for that is if you and your Doll had a fight or a misunderstanding, do the right thing. Tell her you are sorry, you love her and give her a kiss. It’s as easy as that unless you really pulled a boner and then it’s big time apology due, groveling maybe required.
For those who love ice cream today it’s your turn to go crazy. Yes Guys and Dolls for it is ‘BANANA SPLIT DAY.” Now for a little history lesson on the banana split, in its classic form served in a long dish called a boat. The banana is cut in half lengthwise and laid in the dish (reason for calling it a split). It is then made up with scoops of vanilla, chocolate and strawberry ice cream. Pineapple topping is poured over the vanilla ice cream, chocolate syrup over the chocolate and of course strawberry topping over the strawberry ice cream. Then throw on crushed nuts, whipped cream and those lovely maraschino cherries. David Strickler an apprentice pharmacist in Latrobe, Pennsylvania, who enjoyed inventing different variations of sundaes, came up this idea in 1904. It originally cost 10 cents and became so popular by word of mouth. Latrobe celebrated the 100th anniversary of the banana split in 2004 and National Ice Cream Retailers Association certified the city as its birthplace. To tell you Speakies the truth I have never been a fan of the banana split too much ice cream and all that other stuff. However, I am a fan of that other famous Latrobe, PA product, ROLLING ROCK BEER. I use to buy them in Trenton in the small bottles that were just enough to drink for me beer wise.
So much for Thursdays Guys and Doll, as always have a great day and remember tomorrow is Friday. Thanks for stopping by.
