Awakenings: Cheese Sacrifice?

Awakenings: Cheese Sacrifice? | Human Interest | Scoop.it
Whoever is responsible for establishing various days of celebration certainly have a certain wit about 'them'. Today is a prime example. When you think about 'sacrificing' cheese, what comes first to your mind? Buying the best of the best and giving it away as a gift? That would indeed be a sacrifice. Of course, not without trying it first! Then, there are always the scrumptious recipes that call for a generous portion of cheese. Don't you 'sacrifice' the really good cheeses for super delicious dishes? Well, there is an altogether different possibility which is not so appetizing and a bit quirky to say the least.

Awakenings: Hot Dogs & Ice Cream

Awakenings: Hot Dogs & Ice Cream | Human Interest | Scoop.it

"It's summertime! Hot dogs and ice cream are at the top of the list...hot dogs being ideal for a quick lunch or even at supper time demanding very little preparation time. Of course, the hot dogs are center stage on the grill or can be boiled, broiled, even fried! As that item on the menu is completed, the ice cream always brings on additional curtain calls and a standing ovation, especially when it happens to be homemade vanilla. So, are you ready to doubly celebrate with two of America's favorites?

July 23 is...
National Hot Dog Day and National Vanilla Ice Cream Day

Awakenings: Junk Food Junkie | Human Interest | Scoop.it

"Do you have an insatiable sweet tooth...the sweeter the better? Do you absolutely crave the salty along with the sweet? Do you love, love, love popcorn...perhaps the saltier the better never forgetting the butter, REAL butter? Do you load up on the salty fries or chips along with that greasy burger? Does a slice of pizza never seem to be enough with more, more, more sometimes equaling the whole 'thang'? In other words, are you a junk food junkie? Well, if you answered yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, then this day's celebration is definitely going to be the day for you!


July 21 is... National Junk Food Day"

Awakenings: Somethin' Fishy | Human Interest | Scoop.it
When you hear the expression something's fishy, that usually means something appears suspicious or seems not quite right. Some 'fishes' do have an unpleasantness about them, but today's celebration is not about somethin' fishy in the sense of something being afoul.

If the title of this posting had been 'Cake', there would be no question as to what it is about. There are thousands of different types of cakes in the world today, each culture with its own specialties, many of which never reach America's shores. For the cake, we need icing and one might want to try something different perhaps topping it off with penuche frosting. That's one possibility for penuche. Let's add a little extra pizazz to the title: Penuche Fudge. Now, let's get on with the celebration!

Think back to days (possibly dating back to prehistoric man) when one used a stick to poke a beehive for the honey; then, the honey was scraped off the stick to be eaten later. Of course, the honey could be licked right off the stick possibly marking the beginning for what we know today as the lollipop.

Do you know anyone who does NOT LIKE French fries? There are those, of course, that elect not to indulge because of health reasons or perhaps allergies. Then, some just simply stay away from any overly-salted, deep-fried greasy foods. That must really take some kind of will power...especially if you are from the South!

How the world's most popular foods have traveled all over the planet

How the world's most popular foods have traveled all over the planet | Human Interest | Scoop.it
From the grains in your breakfast cereal to the grapes in your wine, there’s a strong chance that the food you eat on a daily basis has its ancient origins thousands of miles away. A major new study, the collaborative effort of more than a dozen researchers around the world, suggests that countries rely on crops that originally came from other parts of the globe — and the interconnections among global food systems are only continuing to grow.
