As Google has so cutely displayed, today is the 119th Anniversary of the Ice Cream Sundae. The most recognized story goes something like this.... In Ithaca, NY on Sunday, April 3, 1892 a local reverend visited a pharmacy after services and ordered some plain old vanilla ice cream. The owner decided to make the dish a little special for the reverend and added some syrup and cherries on top. THANK YOU TO ALL INVOLVED!!!
The reverend then decided to name the specialty after the Lord's day that it was invented on and so he pronounced it to be a "Cherry Sunday". So on this lovely Sunday 119 years later, I plan to celebrate by going to church (in a different college town however) and then ordering a mint chocolate chip hot fudge sundae with a cherry on top (my beloved usual).
Happy Sunday and happy sundaes!!!
