June 20 Vanilla Milkshake Day

June 20 is Vanilla Milkshake Day, people happily celebrate this day annually.

The first time the term “milkshake” was used in print was in 1885. The first milkshakes were not suitable for children, because the drinks contained whiskey. By the 1900s eggs and whiskey were dropped and milkshake was made with chocolate, strawberry or vanilla syrup. And the milkshake we know was born in 1922, when an employee at Chicago Walgreens added two scoops of ice cream to malted milk that was widely used for milkshakes.

Celebrate National Vanilla Milkshake Day with a glass of sweet treat. If you plan to make milkshake for adults only, you can add some alcohol to make it tastier. A shot of whiskey or your favorite liquor will be enough. Combine ice cream, milk, alcohol and vanilla extract in blender. Then pour milkshake in glasses and serve the drink immediately. Remember, the more ice cream you use to make a milkshake, the thicker it will be.

June 19 Father’s Day

Father’s Day is observed annually on the third Sunday in June. Father’s Day is now celebrated in many countries around the world. This day is set aside to honor the role that fathers play in the family structure and society.

The first recorded celebration of Father’s Day happened after the Monograph Mining Disaster, which killed 361 men and left around 1,000 children fatherless in December 1907. Grace Golden Clayton suggested to her pastor Robert Thomas Webb a day honoring all those fathers. On July 5th, 1908, a gathering in honor of these men took place at Williams Memorial Methodist Episcopal Church South, now known as Central United Methodist Church, in Fairmont, West Virginia.

Modern Father's Day was invented by Mrs. Sonora Smart Dodd, born in Creston, Washington, who was also the driving force behind its establishment. Her father, the Civil War veteran William Jackson Smart, was a single parent who reared his six children in Spokane, Washington. She was inspired by Anna Jarvis's efforts to establish Mother's Day. Although she initially suggested June 5, her father's birthday, she did not provide the organizers with enough time to make arrangements, and the celebration was deferred to the third Sunday of June. The first June Father's Day was celebrated on June 19, 1910, in Spokane, WA, at the Spokane YMCA.

Happy Father’s Day….

June 17 Apple Strudel Day

June 17 is Apple Strudel Day observed every year. Onget whirled up in pastry dough, apples and spices. The best apple strudels come from Austria, where they originated. Strudels sold in supermarkets are even not similar to real strudels.

The German meaning of strudel is vortex or eddy, which aptly describes the way the pastry layers circle the filling. When creating the dish these layers need to be worked until they are thin enough to read through. It is easy to create at home, using layers of buttered filo pastry, wrapped around your own stewed apple.

There are many varieties to strudels, they can be sweet and savory. Sweet strudels include cherry, cheese, poppy seeds and today's special apple filling. But if you're looking for savory strudel, then spinach and cabbage will be the best.

The oldest strudel recipe dates back to 1696. It was handwritten and for many years kept in the Vienna City Library. Although strudel is Austrian pastry, it has got origins in the Byzantine Empire, and was developed from pastry like baklava.
