You must be in seventh heaven in their museum. I would love to see the Native section no matter what it's called. You take care of your feet, you still have two days to go and lots to see. I'd love to have happy feet and brain too.

YES! SnowStorm made avatar Tuesday night. The first one since the Actress Room.

September 27th: National Chocolate Milk Day, National Crush a Can Day, and National Corned Beef Hash Day.

National Chocolate Milk Day! Invented by Hans Sloane in the late 1680s, today chocolate milk can be purchased premixed or it can be made at home with either cocoa powder and a sweetener or with melted chocolate, chocolate syrup or chocolate milk mix. While Sloane was in Jamaica, he encountered a beverage the locals drank made with cocoa mixed with water. After trying it, he reported the flavor to be nauseating. After some experimentation, Sloane found a way to mix the cocoa with milk to make it more pleasant tasting. He brought the chocolate recipe back with him upon his return to England. Now people enjoy this delicious drink every day.🥛🍫

National Crush a Can Day! This day was created to help educate people about the benefits of recycling. 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. Recycling aluminum saves 95% of the energy it would have taken to process the same amount from a virgin source. 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. Corned beef hash became popular during and after World War II as rationing limited the availability of fresh meat. The Hormel Company claims 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 to by the availability of numerous recipes and the existence of many “hash houses” named after the dish.

Thank you Mr. Sloane for figuring out the recipe for chocolate milk. Yum! We have a homemade electric can crusher a friend of ours made. So much easier doing, than by hand and quicker. Another food dish I do not like!

Sending hugs with some chocolate milk!🥛🍫💕🍂💕
