After that I ran errands, Brian's office, stopped at the US Cellular store
and got a problem fixed with my cell phone (sheeeesh, something simple but too
hard for my tiny brain!), post office, pharmacy, bank....... home!
At the post office I picked up a package sent to me from pal, Sandy

National Frappé Day
Frappé coffee (also known as café frappeé or Greek frappé)
originates in Greece though the word frappé is French. When describing a drink,
this word means “chilled”. Frappé is an iced coffee drink which is made from
instant coffee and covered with foam.
Frappé was invented in 1957 in Thessaloniki during the
International Trade Fair by an employee of the Nestlé company. He wanted to have
an instant coffee during his break but couldn't find any hot water. So he used a
shaker to mix instant coffee with cold water and ice cubes. This improvised
drink turned out to be a success. It is one of the most popular drinks in modern
Greece.
Greek frappé is typically made with spray-dried instant
coffee, sugar, and water. Sometimes milk is added. The beverage can be flavored
with liqueurs such as Baileys Irish Cream or Kahlúa. Outside Greece, the
espresso version of frappé is popular. In the United States, the term “frappe”
can be applied to various iced coffee beverages, either chilled or frozen.
Starbucks has its own trademark for a line of frozen coffee drinks –
Frappucino.
To celebrate the National Frappé Day, have a nice cup of
iced coffee. You can top it with chocolate syrup, whipped cream, or a ball of
ice-cream.

Good morning.
Happy birthday Judy! That picture always makes me smile.
Thank you for sharing the visit to the charming restaurant. Orange Chicken is a favorite eating-out dish. Trader Joe's frozen section has a really good version.
Interesting history of frappe. On our bookstore dates, we usually order.
HAPPY HAPPY BIRTHDAY JUDY! I did send her an e card and posted on her FB page.
Yes, Trader Joe's orange chicken is yummy. At our fave Chinese take-out place they call it "tangerine chicken". Oh so good. Love American version Chinese food but I have had so many authentic Chinese dinners and not so good. :( That place is adorable.
June Allison and Dick Powell were the God parents of a Parnell sister of mine. I met them when they attended some happening at the school. She was so teeny.
