#HappyBirthday to Y'all (in the #November8 #BirthdayCohort with #TomAnderson @myspaceTom & #BonnieRaitt @THEbonnieraitt & ALL #TheFamousPeople) on #Cappuccino Day | @HolidaysCalendr @BirthdayMates @YourTango @MySundayMass
... or -on 'whichever of these holidays, awareness-dates &or event-anniversaries you celebrate!'
Holidays Calendar explains a little bit about Cappuccino (tho you could fill-us-in on anything you know about the holiday) in a report linked through 'that word' below; but first I want to understand that word better. And I find you understand words better if you look at 'the words at their base' (then going on to look at the words at those words' bases, then the words at those words' bases, etc.-etc. ad infinitum)
The word “Cappuccino” is built on #Capuchin (or #Kapuzin), the |Hood- or Cowl-on the Robes worn by a |Viennese order of |Friars (the |Espresso-&-Milk Drink being so-named because it's the same Color as those robes
(The Cappuccino is actually an Italian invention, based on a |Viennese drink made of Coffee, Sugar & Cream (and various Spices)).
I sometimes get a little 'thrill' from realizing that I have the same birthday as several famous people, and enough other people get that thrill from seeing their birthday-cohort (both the currently-famous & the probably-not-yet famous) that I figure it's worth doing 'one of these entries for every birthday' ...
