PLUS, TODAY WE CELEBRATE: Easy-Bake Oven Day
National Easy-Bake Oven Day is celebrated on November 4 every year. Baking in an Easy-Bake Oven is a satisfying and rewarding experience. You know what we’re talking about if you had one as a child. If you didn’t, it’s never too late. Pretending to be an adult is fun when you’re a kid (also, the only time it is exciting). And the Easy-Bake Oven provides the ideal recipe for playing a fairly accurate game of pretend. The early models of Easy-Bake Ovens utilized the excess heat from incandescent bulbs to heat the oven — talk about innovation. Dry powdered mixes, sold with the oven and separately, are used to prepare the cookie dough.

On September 5th, National Cheese Pizza Day says, "Hold the toppings!" That's right, cheese is all you need when celebrating this pizza holiday. Whether the pie is homemade or ordered in, make it cheese only. Add a variety of cheeses to your pie to celebrate. Smokey gouda or a little gorgonzola might mix it up. If you like a little cheddar, mild or sharp shredded across the top will do. Debates prevail over thin or thick crust. However, that debate is for another day. The cheese holds the spotlight on this occasion. In fact, thin-crust doesn't even have a day. How did that happen? However, deep-dish does.

PLUS, TODAY WE CELEBRATE: Eat an Extra Dessert Day
We wish we knew who the creator of this delightfully sweet holiday was so we can thank them and give them a huge slice of cake. Unfortunately, the origins of this day are lost in time, but we can make up for it by enjoying the range of desserts on offer. For many, dessert is a much-anticipated highlight and a meal without some kind of mouthwatering finale seems incomplete. Some items are typical of the dessert menu. Cakes, pies, cookies, and ice cream are customarily served at the end of a meal, but if you plan on having sweet food any time of the day, then anything sweet will do.

One of the most recognizable toys for decades, the Slinky, walks its way down stairs with a little extra swagger today, because it's Slinky Day! In 1943, Richard James, a naval engineer, was in the Philadelphia Naval Shipyard working on a project that used springs to hold items up on moving ships, when he accidentally knocked down a spring and watched it "walk" and then coil itself up neatly on the floor. It was an idea-inspiring moment, and along with his wife, Betty, a plan was hatched to create a new toy. Betty combed through a dictionary and came up with the name "Slinky," and in 1945, with a 500 dollar loan, the couple created James Industries. At first, the Slinkys weren't selling, but when a demonstration table was set up in Philadelphia's Gimbels Department Store during the 1945 holiday shopping season, the James's sold 400 of them for a dollar each in 90 minutes—and people wanted more.

It’s National Bacon Lovers Day on August 20. Arguably our favorite in-office holiday, no smell on Earth is as attractive as the thin-sliced bacon sizzling in a pan and served with anything at hand. Bacon is the hero of every meal it’s incorporated into. No wonder it’s been such a massive part of western cuisine since 1500 B.C. This means, for thousands of years, we have relished the sweet-savory smell of bacon frying, and the chewy taste too. One could argue that it’s now coded into our D.N.A., a historic love for bacon.

https://www.nationaldaycalendar.com/august/national-kool-aid-days-2nd-weekend-in-august
Oh yeeeeeeeaaaaah! Kool-Aid Days during the second weekend of August recognizes the childhood drink that has been around since 1927. This beverage holiday is not only a contemporary celebration for some, but also a time to walk down memory lane reminiscing about the younger days of friends, hot summer days and KOOL AID! Kool Aid was invented in 1927 by Edwin Perkins and originally named “Fruit Smack.” While the product originally sold as a concentrate, shipping problems helped spark the product's success. The expense of shipping the bottled concentrate prompted the manufacturer to switch to the powdered version we've all come to know and love. By the time the Great Depression hit, the price of Kool Aid was cut in half. The strategy paid off, and Kool-Aid kept its popularity through the Great Depression and beyond.

Purple Heart Day, on August 7th, commemorates the creation of the oldest American military decoration for military merit. The Purple Heart honors the men and women who are of the Military Order of the Purple Heart. During the American Revolutionary War, the Badge for Military Merit decorated six known soldiers. General George Washington created the Badge of Merit in 1782. Washington intended the honor to be presented to soldiers for "any singularly meritorious action." Its design included a purple, heart-shaped piece of silk bound with a thin edge of silver. Across the face, the word Merit was embroidered in silver. While the badge symbolized the courage and devotion of an American Patriot, no one knows who designed the award.

On August 2, National Ice Cream Sandwich Day encourages us to cool off with one of our favorite frozen treats. Whether it's vanilla, strawberry or Neopolitan between two chocolate wafers, the dessert sure will hit the spot on a hot summer day. The original ice cream sandwich sold for a penny in 1900 from a pushcart in the Bowery neighborhood of New York. Newspapers never identified the name of the vendor in articles that appeared across the country. However, the ice cream sandwiched between milk biscuits became a hit. Soon, pushcarts popped up around the city and country during the summer months selling the portable treats. Early pictures show beachgoers at Atlantic City getting their ice cream sandwiches for 1¢ each.

National Cheesecake Day on July 30 offers a slice of one of America’s favorite desserts. Order up a cheesecake with your favorite topping. Get it delivered or make it at home. This smooth dessert hits the spot when the end of the meal rolls around. While most cakes have a crumb, cheesecake’s texture is nothing like cake. Indeed, its creamy, thick pudding-like character comes from the soft cheese used as the main ingredient. Depending on the recipe, either cream cheese or cottage cheese is used. When the cheese is mixed with sugar, eggs, and other ingredients, the batter is added to a crust.

Almost 133,000 troops from the United States, the British Commonwealth, and their allies, landed on D-Day. Casualties from these countries during the landing numbered 10,300. By June 30, over 850,000 men, 148,000 vehicles, and 570,000 tons of supplies had landed on the Normandy shores. Fighting by the brave soldiers, sailors, and airmen of the allied forces western front, and Russian forces on the eastern front, led to the defeat of German Nazi forces. On May 7, 1945, German General Alfred Jodl signed an unconditional surrender at Reims, France.

WHAT HAPPENED TODAY:
1998: On this day, during the grand jury hearings that sought to clarify President Bill Clinton’s relationship with Monica Lewinsky, Clinton engaged in some semantic fine-tuning by stating: “It depends on what your meaning of ‘is’ is. If ‘is’ means ‘is and never has been’ that’s one thing — if it means ‘there is none,’ that was a completely true statement.” Clinton also parsed the meanings of “alone,” “sexual relations” and “sex.” His testimony was later televised to the nation on September 21.
2000: Police awakened and arrested a 21-year-old burglar found sleeping in the bedroom of a home in Bridgton, Maine, after a neighbor reported a strange car in the driveway. The burglar said he was tired and just decided to take a nap.
2020: A 95-year-old California man known to neighbors as “Bicycle Bob” was treated to a celebration after he logged his 100,000th mile of cycling. Bob Mettauer said he took up cycling when he retired in the 1990s.

Drinking coffee after a workout could be the key to building better muscles. Researchers think consuming caffeine after exercise helps muscles recover faster and can improve an athlete’s performance. A team of Australian researchers found after exercise caffeine resulted in athletes having 66 percent higher glycogen levels — the muscle’s primary fuel source during exercise.
Someone on social media found a “crash diet” from a “Vogue Body and Beauty Book” from the 1970s. It’s called “Wine and Eggs” and promises you’ll lose 5 pounds in 3 days. Breakfast: 1 egg, hard boiled. 1 glass white wine (dry, preferably Chablis). Black coffee. Lunch: 2 eggs, hard-boiled is best but poached if necessary. 2 glasses white wine. Black coffee. Dinner: 5 ounces steak, grilled with black pepper, lemon juice. Remainder of white wine (one bottle allowed per day). Black coffee.
