Carrots contain a natural sweetness that’s just perfect for cake. Many historians believe the cake originated in the Middle Ages when sugar and other sweeteners were scarce...so carrots were used as a substitute. The earliest known recipe for carrot cake can be found in a French cookbook published in 1827. Carrot cake is very similar to a quick bread in its preparation. Quick breads mix the wet and dry ingredients separately before combining,The old adage is true: Eating carrots can improve your vision. Carrots contain lots of beta-carotene, which the liver converts to vitamin A, which then gets converted to rhodopsin in the retina — and that gives you better night vision.

Strawberry ice cream is made by blending either strawberries or strawberry flavoring with eggs, cream, vanilla, and sugar. Food coloring is often used to give it the pink or light red hue. Ice cream remained a treat for the upper classes until a Swiss entrepreneur by the name of Carlo Gatti set up an ice cream stand in London in 1851. It was very difficult to store ice at that time but Gatti built an “ice well” in which he stored the ice that he procured from the Regent’s Canal. but we have Nancy Johnson from Philadelphia was the first American to patent a hand-cranked ice cream maker, while Agnes Marshall also patented a similar machine in England. so if you're looking for an excuse to have some strawberry ice cream or sorbet...today is the day.

There are some non-edible houseplants with uses too, such as the aloe vera plant, whose thick pointy leaves can be snapped open and squeezed onto minor burns, scrapes, and even sunburned skin.

The original tempura dish was served during Lent, an annual Christian event where many Christian denominations are forbidden to eat meat. the name ‘tempura’ stems from the Latin phrase ‘ad tempora cuaresme,’ meaning “in the time of Lent.” it was mistaken for the dish’s name, and tempura came to stay. Modern chefs have unique ideas on tempura, and they don’t only use fish or vegetables. Almost anything goes into tempura these days.

Did you know that not all Swiss cheeses have holes? Since the holes in Swiss cheese are called ‘eyes,’ those without holes are ‘blind Swiss Cheese.’ Swiss cheese with larger holes (or eyes) enjoys a more extended fermentation period, so they generally have a more pronounced flavor. Swiss cheese as we know it was first manufactured in the 1300s in the West Central Region of Switzerland, also known as the Emmental area. This is why Swiss Cheese is also known as Emmental cheese in many parts of europe...so if you ask for swiss cheese...even today...they won't know what you're talking about. by the late 1800's...Swiss immigrants move to Wisconsin, bringing Swiss cheese with them. There are a thousand and one things you can make with Swiss cheese, from cheese rolls to casseroles to the infamous Chicken Cordon Bleu.

The stadium boasts a seating capacity of 92,542 and has claimed to be a sellout event since 1947. but it all started in 1902...when the Pasadena Tournament of Roses Association featured its first football game, played between Michigan and Stanford University. The association added the game to the Rose parade to help fund the cost of organizing the parade. Because of how poorly organized the football game was, it didn’t return to the Rose Parade for 14 years....so it wasn't played again until 1916. of course you can buy tickets and go see the bowl game in person...or you can live-stream the game on New Year’s Day from the comfort of your couch. The Rose Bowl Game is the oldest in college football and was the one that paved the ground for all other bowl games...which is why it's called the“Granddaddy of Them All”.

If you want, you are allowed to whine about being too tired, or overeating. Maybe you want to whine about having to go back to work or all the cleaning up you have to do. Are the lines long in the return aisle at the store? You can whine about that, too. The possibilities are endless. Rev. Kevin Zaborney created National Whiners Day in 1986 in hopes of encouraging people to be thankful for what they have instead of being unhappy “whining” about what they do not have.

Also known as egg milk punch, eggnog is a popular drink throughout the United States during the holidays. basically made by mixing cream, milk, sugar, and whipped eggs to create a frothy texture...The origins of this sweet Christmas drink are highly debated. According to the Oxford English Dictionary, the word ‘nog’ was used to describe a type of strong beer brewed in England. Others argue that eggnog was developed as a beverage in medieval Europe, using piping hot milk....or it could possibly also have been a spin-off of the once-popular drink enjoyed by the British called posset. Made using curdled milk mixed with wine, it was often used for medicinal purposes. In America...liquor is often added to the eggnog. Many people prefer brandy, rum, whiskey, bourbon, or vodka....but it's totally customizable. Eggnog also flavors other holiday treats, too. For example, you can find eggnog flavored coffees, teas, baked goods, and puddings.
