Happy Morning Facebookies!!! Welcome to National Chocolate Milk, Crush a Can and Corned Beef Hash day!!! NATIONAL CHOCOLATE MILK DAY Pour yourself a tall glass of cold and frothy chocolate milk and join the celebration of National Chocolate Milk Day which is held each year on September 27. Invented by Hans Sloane in the later 1680′s, chocolate milk can be purchased pre-mixed or it can be made at home with either cocoa powder and a sweetner or with melted chocolate, chocolate syrup or chocolate milk mix. While Sloane was in Jamaica he encountered cocoa where the locals there drank it mixed with water. After trying it, he reported to have founded it nauseating. Sloane then found a way to mix the cocoa with milk to make it more pleasant tasting. Upon returning to England, he brought the chocolate recipe back with him. Now people enjoy this delicious drink everyday. NATIONAL CRUSH A CAN DAY Annually celebrated on September 27, it is National Crush A Can Day. Today was created as a day for everyone to do their part in recycling. Interesting Facts: If you laid all the aluminum cans recycled in 2010 end to end, they could circle the earth 169 times. In America, 105,800 cans are recycled every minute. Your television can run for 3 hours from the energy saved by recycling one can. Aluminum cans are worth about a penny each. The industry pays more than $1 billion annually for recycled cans. NATIONAL CORNED BEEF HASH DAY Making corned beef hash is a great way to use up leftovers and eating corned beef hash is a great way to celebrate National Corned Beef Hash Day which is celebrated annually on September 27. Corned beef hash became popular during and after World War II as rationing limited the availability of fresh meat. The Hormel Company claims that it introduced corned beef hash and roast beef hash to the United States as early as 1950 however, “hash” of many forms has been part of the American diet since at least the 19th century, as is attested by the availability of numerous recipes and the existence of many “hash houses” named after the dish. If you do just one thing today please stop and take the time to say good day to any stranger in passing and help spread joy to the unsuspecting. Please whatever you do, do not hug them unless you know them otherwise I am not condoning you being arrested for assault. LOL!! Now get going and start your day with a smile on your face and a warmth in your heart knowing that someone somewhere is thinking about you and wants you to be happy. Take care today my friends!!!!
