National Apple Turnover Day



Every year in the United States, on the fifth day of the month of July, lovers of fruit-stuffed pastries all over the country have an excuse to indulge in a decadent breakfast treat. This is because National Apple Turnover Day falls on this date, and offers an opportunity to nosh on an apple turnover and spread awareness of this classic, fluffy, pan fried sweet.

Apple turnovers may be enjoyed for breakfast, brunch or as a snack. The turnovers have a shelf life of about 4 days, and are best if frozen immediately (rather than being stored in the refrigerator). Frozen apple turnovers are best if eaten with 6 months of freezing.

Apples themselves are said to have originated in the Tien Shan mountain range in Northwestern China, and they have been beloved by ancient rulers such as Ramses II and Ramses III, who presented them as offerings to the god Ra. The oldest accounts of turnovers date back to England and America in the mid to late 18th century.

Bikini Day



Bikini Day is the anniversary of the invention of the bikini in 1946 by a Parisian fashion designer, Louis Reard. The goal of this holiday is to get to the closest beach, or find some cheap travel deals to the Philippines, Bali, Hawaii or anywhere with lots of beach, and spend the day in your bikini!
