Daily Holidays - June 22

[Sherman A1]

National Chocolate Éclair
Day Sweet choux dough, chocolate, cream and icing; this light but oh-so tasty pastry snack is the star of Chocolate Eclair Day. Originating from France in the nineteenth century, eclairs are known a favorite cake all over the world. https://www.daysoftheyear.com/days/chocolate-eclair-day/

National Onion Rings 
Day Grab yourself a side order of deep-fried, crispy battered onion rings for Onion Rings Day! Tempura or beer-battered? Mayonnaise or tartar sauce? And if it comes down to it, why bother ordering your main course at all, when you could just have more onion rings instead? https://www.daysoftheyear.com/days/onion-rings-day/

Candy Month While we may celebrate candy all year long, June has the privilege of being the official Candy Month. No one seems entirely sure why or how June became Candy Month but, when the title gives you licence to enjoy as much guilt-free candy as you like*, who cares?! That’s not to say June is without relevant history: it was in June 1963 that US confectioner Hershey’s acquired Harry Burnett Reese’s business (yes, the original Reese of Peanut Butter Cup fame) and it was in June 1904 that George Cadbury and his staff invented Dairy Milk.

Some cultures consider chocolate to be a type of candy while others consider candy an exclusive name for hard-boiled sweets. However, it’s quite a generic term and can be used to describe toffees, marshmallows, licorice, jelly sweets, British rock and more. Yum!

1. Thanks for the reminder! I love eclairs!

I haven't had one in years - used to get the best ones at the bakery near my college - but I just may treat myself to one today! :

2. I like onions, but don't really like onion rings

Just too much onion.
I can only have 1 or 2.
