Angel Food Cake Day

I don't know about you, but I am loving all of these delicious dessert holidays! Said to be the food of angels,because of it's light airy demeanor, Angel food cake is one of my favorites. Now that I think about it, I really like Devil's food cake as well, go figure!

The dieters delight first became popular in the U.S, during the 19th century. "Angel's Cake" was first seen in The Original Boston Cooking School Cook Book by Mrs.D.A. Lincoln, published in 1884. . In Fannie Merritt Farmer's 1896 updated version of the Boston Cooking School Cook Book, she uses the same recipe and calls the cake "Angel Food Cake."

So my friends..Eat, Drink and be Blessed! Cheers!

National Taco Day

Holy Frijoles! It's a whole day dedicated to tacos! Soft shell, hard shell, corn flour, whatever! Fish, beef, carnitas, chicken, tongue, Taco Bell, doesn't matter! I love tacos!

Bernal Díaz del Castillo, a conquistador who was alive from 1492-1585,  wrote an eyewitness account of the conquest of Mexico by the Spaniards for Hernán Cortés. He details a taco feast put together by Cortés for his captains in Coyoacán. The taco predates the arrival of Europeans, originating with the indigenous people in the Valley of Mexico, where they filled their tacos with small fish, yum.

I know what I'm having for dinner! Everyone head to your favorite Mexican restaurant, or whip up a batch of your own homemade tacos. Here's to the taco mis amigos! Delicioso!
