Welcome to #Checkin for Wednesday, October 2nd, 2024
Why howdy there #Checkin people, it’s me, Rod again. My last day here. I think @cass_m@friendica.myportal.social is next.
On October 7, the Roman Catholic Church celebrates the yearly feast of Our Lady of the Rosary. Known for several centuries by the alternate title of “Our Lady of Victory,” the feast day takes place in honor of a 16th century naval victory which secured Europe against Turkish invasion.
On this day in 1571, a fleet of ships assembled by the combined forces of Naples, Sardinia, Venice, the Papacy, Genoa, Savoy and the Knights Hospitallers fought an intense battle with the fleet of the Ottoman Empire. The battle took place in the Gulf of Patras located in western Greece. Though outnumbered by the Ottoman forces, the so-called “Holy League” possessed of superior firepower would win the day. This victory would severely curtail attempts by the Ottoman Empire to control the Mediterranean, causing a seismic shift in international relations from East to West. In some respects the world that we know came into being with this victory.
This apparent tragedy is known to history as the “Battle of Lepanto.”
It’s also National Frappe Day!
A frappé is a cold, blended drink that's typically made with coffee, milk, ice, and sugar, and can be shaken, blended, or beaten until combined. The word "frappé" is French for "iced"
So I guess any iced coffee would legitimately be a frappé?
(checks freezer for ice, heads to the store for chocolate syrup, whipped cream, and chocolate almond piroulines)
