    Where Did Deviled Eggs Come From?!

    I thought deviled eggs were created by some brilliant farm owner in the 50's or something, but it was such a joy to find out just how far back these favorite little appies (appetizers) go!! I loved learning about their etymology, and all of the different variations - I think you will, too!!

    🥚💛 Let me know if you're the deviled egg bandit at parties (like myself) in the comments down below!! 💛🥚

    The 10 Cent Beer Night Brawl of 1974!

    ⚾️🍺This week we talk about the promotional night that went very wrong in 1974! A ten-cent beer night (that had been done many times before) explodes into an all-out riot on a June night at the Cleveland, Ohio baseball stadium. Bases never returned, hot dogs thrown about, and fireworks chucked into bull pens are all part of this insane story!!⚾️🍺

    The Boston Molasses Flood of 1919!

    The Boston Molasses Flood of 1919!

    While this fatal event sounds outlandish, or even made-up - I can assure you that it isn't. On a warm day in 1919 Boston's North End would be nearly swept up by millions of gallons of molasses leaving some for dead and other's lives permanently altered.
