🌽National Corn on the Cob Day! Fresh corn on the cob is a summertime treat that people from all corners of the United States look forward to as we start the picnic season. Corn on the cob is also known in different regions as pole corn, cornstick, sweet pole, butter-pop or long maize. It is a sweet corn that is picked when the kernels are still tender when it’s in its milk stage. Boiling, steaming, roasting or grilling are the most common ways of preparing corn on the cob. If it is grilled or oven roasted, the corn is usually left in its husk during the cooking process. Proper dinner etiquette for eating corn on the cob says it is appropriate to hold the cob at each end with your fingers.

🍫🍰National German Chocolate Cake Day! Although the name may sound like the cake originated in Germany, it did not. The cake’s roots can be traced back to 1852 when American, Sam German, made a type of dark baking chocolate for the American Baker’s Chocolate Company. Baker’s German’s Sweet Chocolate’s brand was named in honor of Sam German. Over 100 years later in 1957, a recipe for “German’s Chocolate Cake” appeared as the Recipe of the Day in the Dallas Morning Star. This recipe, created by Mrs. George Clay, used the Baker’s German’s Sweet Chocolate, and it became quite popular. During this time, General Foods owned the Baker’s brand and distributed Mrs. Clay’s recipe to other newspapers around the country. The current name of German Chocolate Cake, as we know it today, came to be as publications started dropping the ‘s.

👩‍⚕️👨‍⚕️National Call Your Doctor Day reminds young women to schedule their annual Well-Woman Exam. Making this day halfway through the year holds significance because so many women delay their routine care. Often placing the priorities of work, family members or other obligations before their health, women overlook the simple phone call that may save their life. According to a 2015 survey by ZocDoc, 80 percent of Americans delay or forgo preventative care. The number increases to 93 percent when surveying Millennials. By making the appointment and keeping it, you place a priority on staying healthy so you can continue to meet those important obligations in the future. National Call Your Doctor Day was founded by Bright Pink, a women’s health non-profit, on June 21, 2016, to encourage young women to schedule their annual Well-Woman Exam.

There will be no corn on the cob this early around here this year. The farmers are still planting their crops. We talk to the person who we usually get are corn from and it will be sometime in July. I prefer my German chocolate cake without the coconut icing. Doctors appointment is already over.

My hubby is the sun brewed tea drinker. Tea doesn't set well with me.

Warm hugs!💕🐶🐶🌤💨
