Happy Father’s Day

Hey Everyone & Happy Father’s day to all the dads out there!

Since it is Father’s Day today I thought it was appropriate to look at some of the Father’s Day animals/traits that Amaretto has released over the years.

Released in 2012 was the Limited Edition Rustic Timber Horse

On June 13, 2012 Amaretto released the Limited Edition Rustic Timber Horse in honor of Father’s Day.

These Limited Edition Rustic Timber Horse were sold at all Amaretto Store Locations.

They could be birthed with any of the available mane traits.

(Normal, Long, Upright, Upright Long, Braided)

The coats on these Limited Edition Horse do NOT pass.

The eyes on these Limited Edition Horse DO have the ability to pass.

These were sold between June 13, 2012 and June 17, 2012 only!

 

Amaretto also released a Happy Father’s Day Eye in 2015 in the Horses, K-9’s & Barnyard Birds

 

And in 2016 there was a set of Happy Father’s Day Editions released for the Horses, K-9s & Barnyard Birds.

 

That was all from me today, once again have a great day and see you all in the groups in world!

Hugs, Marku <3

Today is National Fudge Day!!

Happy Saturday everyone – I hope you all are enjoying your weekend so far!!

So today is NATIONAL FUDGE DAY and  who doesn’t love fudge!!

National Fudge Day is observed annually on June 16th. National Fudge Day is a food holiday that allows you to indulge in your favorite flavor of this delicious confectionery. Some of the most familiar fudge flavors are chocolate, chocolate nut, peanut butter, maple and maple nut.

Fudge lends itself to experimentation when it comes to flavors. Blending favorites or even a moment of inspiration will create a new delicious kind of fudge. Adding bits of candy, nuts or sprinkles can add just the right celebratory burst of excitement to an old favorite.

There are three other fudge holidays on the calendar at this time. May 12 celebrates all those nutty fudges. July 22 marks National Penuche Fudge Day. Finally, on November 20 National Peanut Butter Fudge Day is celebrated.

In the late 19th century, some shops on Mackinac Island, Michigan, began to produce similar products as the Vassar College fudge and sold it to summer vacationers. Fudge is still made in some of the original shops located on the famous island.

HOW TO OBSERVE

Pick up some fudge at your local confectionery store and share it with family and friends.   Use #NationalFudgeDay on social media. Here are some fudge recipes if you feel like making your own.

Now this “recipe” may take a little longer but so worth it!!

Why not try to get an amazing Confection coat especially that yummy looking Hot Fudge Sundae Confection coat

And today is……………..

Hello everyone hope you are having a fabulous weekend!!

So did you all know that today is NATIONAL STRAWBERRY RHUBARB PIE DAY!!!

On June 9th of each year, National Strawberry Rhubarb Pie Day is observed. A tart vegetable, rhubarb is often paired with sweet fruits making for a delicious dessert.

Around the country, rhubarb is a perennial favorite for home gardens. One of the first fruits of their labors, gardeners begin to harvest rhubarb in the middle of May and early June, and it finds its way into desserts and preserves. Since it takes on the flavor of the fruit or vegetable it is paired with, it is an excellent compliment to many recipes.

Not only is rhubarb known for making deliciously baked goods and satisfying the hankering for something from the garden early in the season, but it also has many other qualities. Rub a cut stalk of rhubarb over a burnt skillet and let the high oleic acid content do the work. It’s been a primary ingredient in many cleansers for over a 100 years.

Rhubarb is so high in oleic acid, in fact, the leaves are toxic to humans. The stalks, however, are a consumable, rich and healthful source of oleic acid. The benefits of enjoying rhubarb could help reduce blood pressure, increase your body’s ability to burn fat and generate brain myelin. Now, that’s a reason to celebrate National Strawberry Rhubarb Pie Day!

 

 

Strawberry Rhubarb Pie

Makes one 9-inch pie

  • 1 recipe unbaked homemade double pie crust
  • 2 1/2 cups rhubarb, sliced into 1/2-inch pieces (about 3 large stalks)
  • 2 1/2 cups hulled and sliced fresh strawberries
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1/3 cup all purpose flour or 1/4 cup cornstarch
  • 1 teaspoon grated lemon zest
  • 2 tablespoons cold unsalted butter, cut into 1/4-inch pieces
  • 1  large egg yolk beaten to blend with 1 teaspoon water (for glaze)

Preheat the oven to 450°F.

Prepare the bottom crust by rolling out one of the pastry disks to an 11-inch circle. Nestle the crust inside the pan so about an inch hangs over the sides. Press the pastry down. Cover loosely with plastic wrap and place in the freezer for about 10 minutes.

Mix the fruit with the sugar, flour (or cornstarch) and lemon zest. Using the tines of a fork, poke the bottom of the pie crust evenly about five times. Pour the fruit mixture into the chilled pastry. Dot with the butter pieces.

Moisten the edge of the bottom crust with a finger dipped in water. Put on the top pastry in one piece and slice in a few air vents, or in a lattice pattern, trim, and crimp the edges.

Brush the egg glaze over the crust. Transfer the pie to a baking sheet.

Bake in the oven for 15 minutes, then reduce the heat to 350°F and bake another 30 minutes longer, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbling.

Remove from the oven and cool on a rack before serving.

 

*********Now I wonder if anyone has ever made a Strawberry Rhubarb Pie horse?*********
