Today is: 
Strawberry Cream Pie Day 
Strawberry Cream Pie Day celebrates the creation of what may be one of the worldâs most delectable treats. It is not just a creation of artistry in flavor, though there is little as perfect as the rich flavor of sweetened cream combined with the tart and tangy flavor of perfectly ripened strawberries.
For many of us these were a traditional part of growing up, and for others, it is a delicious treat yet to be experienced. Strawberry Cream Pie Day is an opportunity for both parties to experience this delicious treat, sometimes again.
The garden strawberry that we know today was first bred in Brittany, France, in the 1750âs via a cross of Fragaria virginiana (Virginia strawberry) from eastern North America and Fragaria chiloensis (Chilean strawberry), which was brought from Chile by AmĂ©dĂ©e-François FrĂ©zier in 1714. The plant is now cultivated worldwide for its fruit, and it is appreciated for its characteristic aroma, bright color, juiciness, and sweetness.
Today, the fruit is used in many things such as milkshakes, fruit juice, ice cream, preserves, and of course, pies.
The best things in life rise to the top and cream is a perfect example of this. The perfect cream for making a strawberry cream pie is sweet cream, a cream that was separated directly from milk rather than that which was skimmed from whey as part of the cheese making process.
This lily white, rich and luxuriant substance is the perfect compliment to the bright lipstick red color of strawberries, and when combined with strawberries in a strawberry cream pie becomes heaven itself.
Find your way to your favourite bakery and ask them to provide you with a luxuriant strawberry cream pie, and then take it home and enjoy it with friends. Or eat the entire thing yourself, we wonât judge you.
You can also choose to make one yourself, with the simplest variety can be made from a box at the store, simply using a cream pie filling, an instant crust, and a can of strawberries in syrup. Of course, the Bette way is to be bold, look up a recipe, and bake your own from scratch. It tastes delicious as it is, but homemade? Thatâs just next level delicious.
If do you attempt making one yourself, remember to share your ingredients, method and results over in @Beoâs Baking Tin.
Have the creamiest of strawberry filled days!

Today is: World Heart Day 
This one is dedicated to @Shrike, with positive vibes and wishes!
World Heart Day is part of an international campaign to spread awareness about heart disease and stroke prevention. This is the perfect day to quit smoking, get exercising and start eating healthy â all in the name of keeping your ticker in good working order, and improving the health and well being of people the world over.
The World Heart Federation have found that heart disease and strokes are the worldâs leading cause of death, killing 17.1 million people every year â thatâs more than victims of cancer, HIV and AIDS and malaria.
Overeating, lack of exercise, unhealthy diets and high blood pressure, cholesterol and glucose levels are all factors which can trigger heart disease and threaten our own lives, and those of loved ones. Heart Day was set up to drive home the message that heart problems can be prevented.
The aim is to improve health globally by encouraging people to make lifestyle changes and promoting education internationally about ways to be good to your heart. This lesson is becoming increasingly relevant as reports of obesity, poor diet and physical inactivity in children and young people become more and more common.
Events take place to promote healthy hearts. Charities and other organisations coordinate walks and runs, health checks, public talks, shows and exhibitions to name a few of the interesting and informative events which mark the day. So on Heart Day, get involved, eat your fruit and veg and get outside; both you and your heart will feel the benefits.
World Heart Day is celebrated every year. It was created by the World Heart Federation. The first World Heart Day took place back in 2000. Since then, in 2012, leaders from around the globe committed to the reduction of worldwide mortality from non-communicable diseases by 25 percent by 2025.
As World Heart Day is all about drawing peopleâs attention to heart diseases and illnesses, as well as the range of health issues that are associated with this, it makes sense to raise awareness and also improve your own understanding. We would recommend taking some time to do a bit of research about heart conditions and risk factors. You can then use your online platforms and your social groups in order to raise awareness.
There are both non-governmental and governmental organizations that take part in this date around the world. They do this through the organization of science fairs, exhibitions, fitness sessions, public talks, walks, and marathons. Some famous buildings, monuments, and landmarks opt to go red on this date so that they can show their support for cardiovascular disease awareness.
If you are opting to observe this day, it is important to try and be more attentive to your own heart health. There are a number of different ways that you can do this. This includes following a healthy diet, quitting alcohol, stopping smoking, and getting involved in physical exercises. It is also important to have your cholesterol, blood pressure, and heart checked on a regular basis.
Have a heart! Take care of yours, help take care of others.

Today is: International Thunderbirds Day
Every year, on 30th September, International Thunderbirds Day marks the anniversary of the first date that Thunderbirds aired in the UK in 1965. It is a day to celebrate the classic Thunderbirds series and its new-generation revival Thunderbirds Are Go.
Thunderbirds Are Go! Yes, most every British person of a certain age (who had a television at the time!) will have known and loved the Thunderbirds.
From the groundbreaking puppet work to the stunning backdrop designs of Gerry Anderson, the Thunderbirds was a unique science fiction television series that aired in the 1960s. But the show was set 100 years in the futureâin the 2060s!
Perhaps most of all, fans of the show love the selfless heroism and team-oriented bravery of International Rescue. Now, everyone can relive their favorite moments and focus on what made (and continues to make), the Thunderbirds such a beloved institution.
Generations of fans have fallen in love with the Thunderbirds. The show began over 50 years ago, but the most recent rebirth of the show occurred in 2015 (called Thunderbirds Are Go) and continued at least through 2020. Thunderbirds Day aims to bring all those fans of the show together to celebrate the legacy and continuation of the show.
Fans all over the world come together on this one day of the year to celebrate what the Thunderbirds have to offer. The show is a truly international phenomenon; Thunderbirds Are Go, the new version of the show, is broadcast in over 40 countries, and the original was shown in an impressive 66 countries.
Thatâs why Thunderbirds Day is thriving in the digital era, as people from all over the world come together online to discuss, share and celebrate their love of this pioneering sci-fi series.
Thunderbirds Day takes place on the date in September when the original Thunderbirds made its debut on British TV. Itâs obviously an important date for all Thunderbirds enthusiasts and it means a lot to the people who want to recall the legacy of the show and what it means today!
The first episode was aired back in 1965 and it has reached all corners of the globe since that time. The values of bravery, selflessness and teamwork resonate with successive generations and thatâs something that doesnât show any sign of stopping thanks to the success of Thunderbirds Are Go. More people join together to celebrate the show on Thunderbirds Day with each passing year.
Itâs Thursday. Which is irrelevant because Thunderbirds are ready to go any day and everyday!

Today is: International Coffee Day 
Coffee lovers are plentiful in MEWland, so this oneâs for all of you!
International Coffee Day is an occasion that is used to promote and celebrate coffee as a beverage, with events now occurring in places across the world. The first official date was 1 October 2015, as agreed by then International Coffee Organization and was launched in Milan.
Coffee in the morning; coffee and a catch up with old friends; going for coffee with your new hot date â we drink coffee morning, day and night with friends, business associates and lovers. You have only to walk down the nearest high street and note the number of coffee chains to realise the extent of our love affair with our favourite caffeinated beverage.
Whether you favour espresso, americanos, lattes or cappuccinos; iced, decaf, instant or filter â Coffee Day is the day to savour and appreciate your beverage, and maybe even pick one up for free at certain chains in the USA.
We all know that coffee tastes amazing. Plus, many of us are aware of the fact that it can give us a much-needed energy boost. After all, this is why we tend to have a cup of coffee first thing in the morning, right? However, did you know that the benefits of coffee extend a lot further than this?
Coffee can help to burn fat, as it can increase your metabolic rate by as much as 11 percent. Coffee also contains a number of essential nutrients, including niacin, magnesium (vitamin B3), potassium, manganese, pantothenic acid (vitamin B5), and riboflavin (vitamin B2). Coffee has also been shown to enhance physical performance drastically!
If that was not enough, coffee is the greatest antioxidant source in the Western Diet. Coffee can also help you to live longer according to a number of different studies, as well as helping to fight depression and making you feel happier. This is something that has been noted in a study that was published by Havard.
Coffee Day also marks the long history of the drink: the properties of coffee beans are thought to have first been discovered in Ethiopia. The beans are actually the pits found in the coffee berry or cherry. The story goes that a 9th century goat herder noticed their stimulating effects on his goats and began experimenting.
Coffee drinking was originally popularised in the Arab world from around the 15th century spreading across Asia then to Italy and across Europe and to the Americas â and finally to your coffee cup.
Today, coffee is one of the worldâs biggest crops so buying ethically grown coffee is all the more important â be sure to be selective in buying your cup of coffee and supporting ethical trade.
So when you drink your cup of coffee today, inhale its aroma, taste itâs dark and full-bodied flavour, think about its story â but most of all enjoy.
Coffee. Yes please. Quick.
