A school lunchbox favorite... | Human Interest | Scoop.it
Did you find pudding in your school lunchbox or do you put pudding packs in your kid's lunchbox? After all, it is a staple when growing up. In years' past, it was not an everyday item but instead a special treat where at first sight of a tiny little spoon you knew what was awaiting your taste's pleasure.

Awakenings: Coffee Break...this time it's cold!

Awakenings: Coffee Break...this time it's cold! | Human Interest | Scoop.it
Coffee is a terrific morning wake-me-up, as well as an afternoon pick-me-up. Not only that but it has a terrific aroma and oh-so flavorful. So much so it is an added ingredient to many other delights...Coffee Angel Food Cake, Coffee Cupcakes, Coffee Granita, Café au Lait Chiffon Pie, Irish Coffee Cheesecake, and of course, Tiramasu, just to name a few. There is one not mentioned, which is shining in this day's spotlight. Some of us put cream in our coffee so why not put coffee in the cream...ice cream, that is!

Awakenings: Pray-leen, Praw-line or Prah-lean

Awakenings: Pray-leen, Praw-line or Prah-lean | Human Interest | Scoop.it
The word for today is "praline". No other spelling other than p-r-a-l-i-n-e. How you pronounce it is an entirely different and somewhat debatable subject matter. Pray-leen, praw-line or prah-lean? In the good ol' USA, the most acceptable pronunciation is "pray-leen". You know...just like something you do in church. Along the East Coast of Georgia, it's pronounced "praw-line" if you please. In Louisiana and along the Gulf Coast, the tendency leans more toward the southern “prah-leen” because of the French cultural influence in the area. The candy's namesake after all is du Plessis-Praslin, a 17th century French nobleman. No matter how you pronounce it, praline candy makes for a mighty fine treat.

National Apple Dumpling Day

Apple dumplings are a popular dessert in the USA. They contain apples, raisins, sugar, cinnamon or whatever fits the cook's taste. The filling is covered with dough and then baked. They are served while still warm and fantastic with ice cream. They look like crunchy pouches and taste like a small cake. There are many variances in recipes alternating the kind of apples or including additional ingredients."

Today's History Lesson...ice cream cone

An abundance of celebrations occur throughout the year that center around ice cream, different flavors, sandwiches, sundaes, floats, sodas, splits, soft serve, cakes, pies, single, double, triple or just about anyway you like it. Therefore, it's not surprising to discover a delicate partner of this delicious cold treat being invented to ward off the heat on this day in history. Continuing with the month of July being Ice Cream Month, it would do ice cream an injustice to not include a bit of trivia about the ice cream cone.
