goodbye/fun facts....National Comic Book Day on September 25 honors the art, artists, and stories of comic books. The genre has grown to include full length books, novels and movie adaptations...but the earliest comic strips (which later gave birth to comic books) began in America since the English printing of Swiss comic, The Adventures of Mr. Obadiah Oldbuck, in 1842. comics originally displayed dialogue in bubbles or balloons above characters' heads and were first humorous in nature. but it didn't take long for comic book authors to apply the comic book style to many different genres. As an art form, the designs can be quite intricate. People who collect comic books are known as pannapictagraphist.

goodbye/fun facts....National Cherries Jubilee Day...A jubilee is a fancy party, usually where everyone wears big hats. Jubilees are traditionally hosted to celebrate events like a queen's reign. cherries jubilee was first served in the 1800's at one of the jubliee celebrations for queen victoria...and the popularity skyrocketed. This classic dessert is served a flambé, which means that the dish is literally set alight when it hits the table. Though dramatic and impressive, this fire doesn't really affect the taste of the dessert. After the cherries are poached in syrup, they are mixed with alcohol, traditionally brandy...When the dish is set on fire, this alcohol burns so quickly that the flames flare up and burn out without damaging the cherries at all. The end result is a warmer, more caramelized cherry concoction that still has some of that liqueur flavor left over.

Though punctuation had already been adopted by the Greeks, it wasn’t until the Bible began to be printed en masse that punctuation spread to other civilizations. There is a Danish humorist and musician named victor borge and he performed phoentic punctuation...super talented and fun to watch.

An ebook (electronic book) is a book presented in digital format that people can read on dedicated e-readers, mobile phones, tablets, or P.Cs. Due to ebooks’ accessibility and immense popularity, many classics and old bestselling books have been republished as ebooks. Even many authors are now choosing to mainly publish their books only in ebook format. In 1949, a Spanish teacher, Angela Ruiz Robles invented the first automated book reader, the Enciclopedia Mecánica...her idea of an automated reader was born out of the desire to reduce the number of books that kids had to carry to school every day. today...only 7% of the American adult population read ebooks....so today is the day to give it try if you haven't before.

It is a variation of the French croque-monsieur sandwich that was first served in a cafe in Paris in the 1910s. The sandwich is said to have exploded onto the American food scene from its humble beginning in California when restaurants in and around Disneyland started serving it to customers of the park in the 1950's. most chefs recommend using a sturdy white bread like a sourdough that can support all of the ingredients that need to go in between and around it, so the sandwich doesn’t fall apart. it's a great fall sandwich perfect for breakfast, lunch, or dinner!

Early guacamole recipes only included mashed avocado and it became very popular due to the excellent health benefits of the avocado. Adding in the tomatoes and onions came later, which was a natural development since those are also native to the Americas. Eventually the lime juice was added, which originated in the Middle East but made its way west with the arrival of Christopher Columbus.
