For Fun
ABET AND PUNSTERS’ DAY is good for a few laughs, or groans. Today is the day to regale your audience with dad jokes and silly puns. I made a pencil with two erasers – it was pointless. Bad puns – that’s how eye roll.
Belly up to the Bar
HARVEY WALLBANGER DAY celebrates the adult beverage made with vodka, orange juice and Galliano – a spiced liqueur. Donato “Duke” Antone is credited with its creation and this drink even inspired a Harvey Wallbanger character for a marketing campaign. Around San Diego, where it was invented, people were known to write in “Harvey Wallbanger” for their candidates at election time.
On Today’s Menu…
CAPPUCCINO DAY has the Capuchin monks to thank for its existence. They discovered that espresso, hot milk and steamed milk foam create not only a delicious beverage, but with a little creativity, a veritable work of art. How do they draw those cute little images in the foam?
