Summer 40th Birthday
My husband celebrated his 40th in May. I had warned him about giving me a heads up if he wanted a party due to the fact that May is my busy season and I also am a PLANNER for a living. The heads up was given to me 3 weeks prior to the party (3 weeks in my husband's world is equal to 3 months). YEP....in three weeks I picked invitations, found a venue (Unique Flavor Cafe'), ordered the food (he requested BBQ) and got the desserts lined out. Doug's dessert request was donuts so that was easy, but I also added in his favorite cereals with recipes from a famed NY dessert and pastry chef. Captain Crunch Trail Mix and Fruity Pebble treats!

Popsicle Paradise
Cool off your guests with a classic summer treat! Popsicles were invented by accident by an eleven year old in 1905. Frank Epperson left a cup of powdered soda, water with a stirring stick on his porch. The temperatures were so cold, that the next morning found a frozen Popsicle. The Popsicle was first called an Epsicle, and his friends quickly loved it. In 1923, when busy working at a lemonade stand did he think about making it a business. He then changed the name to Popsicle, after his kids kept asking for "Pop's 'sicle." He got a patent for it in 1924. The following year he sold the rights to the Joe Lowe Company. In 1928, Epperson had royalties from over 60 million Popsicle ice pop sales.
