SUMMARY:National Pie Day
DESCRIPTION:National Pie Day on January 23rd celebrates one of the Nations’ favorite desserts. No matter how you slice it\, pie in just about any form makes a crowd happy. Fruit pies\, berry pies\, cream pies – they are mouthwatering servings of homemade goodness. \n\n\n \n\n\n\n#NationalPieDay\n\n\n\nNational Pie Day simply celebrates the pie. Everyone is invited to bake their favorite pie\, but more importantly\, the day reminds us to enjoy eating pies! The only other question to ask is\, will it be al a mode? \nDid you know\, the first pies appeared around 9500 BC in the Egyptian Neolithic period or New Stone Age? So\, humans have been eating pies for a very long time. And with so many to choose from\, we shouldn’t have any problem finding one we like. After all\, we celebrate the day twice a year (plus their cousin National Pi Day). \nFun Tidbit – Pie throwing:\nCream-filled or topped pies are favorite props for humor. Throwing a pie in a person’s face has been a staple of film comedy since Ben Turpin received one in Mr. Flip in 1909. \n\n\n \nHOW TO OBSERVE NATIONAL PIE  DAY\nCheck out our Celebration Deals page for the latest National Pie Day offers. If you know of a tasty Pie Day offer that isn’t listed yet\, Contact Us and let us know! We will get it listed as soon as possible. We don’t want you to miss out on a delicious slice. \nThe day also offers a perfect opportunity to give a shout-out to your favorite bakery. They always serve up the best and flakiest crusts. And we know\, sometimes that bakery is known as Grandma’s House. Use the holiday to honor her by learning to bake her best recipes. Take a lesson or two from the master! Or try a new recipe together. \nNo matter how you celebrate\, be sure to use #NationalPieDay to post on social media. \nSource Link

SUMMARY:National Irish Coffee Day
DESCRIPTION:National Irish Coffee Day kicks off January 25th each year with a mug of strong coffee\, Irish whiskey\, sugar\, and topped with a layer of cream. \n\n\n \n#NationalIrishCoffeeDay\nOn a cold\, wet day in 1942 weary travelers to the small Shannon Airport in southwest Ireland found their way to a restaurant and chef Joe Sheridan. To warm his guests\, he served them hot coffee\, spiked with whiskey and topped with whipped cream. The passengers asked if the beverage was Brazilian coffee. Sheridan responded that it was Irish coffee.\nClick play and enjoy a story about National Irish Coffee Appreciation Day featuring our founder\, Marlo Anderson.  If you enjoy the 2 minute show\, subscribe with your favorite podcast player. \nA travel writer\, Stanton Delaplane\, brought Irish coffee to the United States after having it at Shannon Airport. \nDelaplane brought the idea to the Buena Vista Cafe on November 10\, 1952. After much trial and error\, sampling\, and a trip back to Ireland for a taste of the original\, Delaplane\, along with Buena Vista owners Jack Koeppler and George Freeberg\, were able to replicate the delicious coffee and the method for floating the cream on top of the coffee. \nHow to Make an Authentic Irish Coffee\nStarting with a warm glass\, fill 2/3rds full of freshly brewed coffee. Stir in a heaping teaspoon of sugar.  Add 1 ounce of Irish whiskey. \nAdding the cream\, so it floats is the tricky part. According to the Buena Vista account\, and at the suggestion of San Francisco’s mayor\, a dairyman\, cream that is 48 hours old\, is best. However\, others recommend whipping cream (not whipped cream) that has been lightly whipped or foamed. \nWhen the coffee has stopped swirling from stirring in the sugar\, pour the foamy cream over the back of a spoon. \nHOW TO OBSERVE NATIONAL IRISH COFFEE DAY\nWarm up with an Irish coffee. Use #NationalIrishCoffeeDay to post on social media. \nIf you want to explore more cocktails and their history\, read A-Z Cocktail Origins. \n\n\n \nNATIONAL IRISH COFFEE DAY HISTORY\nNational Day Calendar continues researching the origins of this hot beverage celebration. While we do\, we hope you’ll enjoy a mug with a friend or two. \nSource Link
