What do we remember today on tattoo Tuesday?
July 23, 2013It’s summertime in the northern hemisphere – warm temperatures go hand in hand with frosty treats. Although history is somewhat fuzzy on this point, I choose to celebrate July 23 as the day ice cream cones were invented. Here, from Wiki:
In St. Louis, Missouri during the 1904 Saint Louis Exposition, the Banner Creamery’s owner George Bang was selling ice cream. Allegedly, he ran out of bowls and was given rolled-up waffles to serve it in instead. Others credit Ernest A. Hamwi, a waffle maker at the World Fair, as the first inventor.
Given that today is tattoo Tuesday, here are some ice cream cone tattoos.
To round out this post, I offer this handwritten recipe for ice cream. This is from the collection of Thomas Jefferson and is in his hand writing. The original is in the Library of Congress. Isn’t that amazing?
I am not going to mention Gucci Mane in this post.
