Psss...it's an ice cream☕️🍦 day. Better get yours before Bixby hears👂.😊

September 6th: National Coffee Ice Cream Day and National Read A Book Day.

If you are a coffee lover and a lover of ice cream, then this is the food holiday you look forward to every year, National Coffee Ice Cream Day. This creamy and caffeinated ice cream treat is sure to satisfy your taste buds. There are those that are not a fan of cold coffee. However, when it is whipped with cream and sugar, it takes on a magical taste of its own. Coffee ice cream has been around for many years. In 1869, coffee ice cream was used in a parfait and a recipe appeared in a 1919 cookbook for an Egg Coffee, consisting of cream, crushed ice and coffee syrup. According to Foodtimeline.org, coffee ice cream has been a standard flavor on the Howard Johnson’s restaurant menu since at least the 1960′s, along with vanilla, chocolate, banana, macaroon, and coconut.

On August 9th, we celebrated National Book Lovers Day. But today is National Read A Book Day. While these bookish days may seem similar, National Read a Book Day invites us ALL to grab a book we might enjoy and spend the day reading. Reading improves memory and concentration as well as reduces stress. Older adults who spend time reading show a slower cognitive decline and tend to participate in more mentally stimulating activities over their lifetime. Books are an inexpensive entertainment, education and time machine, too!

Ruined that delicious ice cream with coffee. I really don't need a special day to read a book. I read because I want to.

Sending plain ice cream hugs to go along with your reading a book. Maybe you can read out loud to Bixby while he gobbles his down.🍦📚🐶💕🍦💕🍂
