National Almond Buttercrunch Day
– Crunchy, buttery and nutty, if you like that combination, you'll
be in heaven today.
Camera Day – Joseph Niepce
created the first photographic image in 1827 but it faded pretty
quickly and he needed 8 hours of light exposure in order to take the
picture. In 1839, Louis Jacques Daguerre took the first image that
didn't fade and it only needed 30 minutes of light exposure. All
that pales in comparison to the pictures we can take with today's
cameras, but every new technology starts somewhere.
Waffle Iron Day – Early,
primitive waffle irons date back to the 14th century.
They would imprint elaborate patterns on the waffles and were baked
over a fire. In 1869, Cornelius Swarthout patented the waffle iron
in the U.S. and 1911, the first electric waffle iron was invented.
To celebrate today make some waffles,
top them with some crushed almond buttercrunch and take a picture
before you eat them.
