What I Learnt lately
Dear Readers,
One of the great advantages of being alive is being able to learn and some of these learning could be accidental , although there are some times when our learning has to be deliberate because we are looking for a particular information .
It does not matter if deliberate or not, the essential thing about learning is being able to apply it to our lives .And because we all learn differently and learning comes in different shapes, we will be using this page to share what we learnt recently.
If you do have something you learnt recently and would like to share, please send to resources@dishusbandmata.com
1. National Croissant’s Day
I don’t know about you but whenever I am in a conference or Breakfast meeting, I use the opportunity to eat somethings I would generally not buy. It is not because I cannot afford these things financially but because I am keeping an eye on the Calories watch. On a good day while shopping, I try not to buy anything on my “heavy calories” list. Not taking these things homes means home the temptation to eat them is not even an option. I am sure you might have somethings on your own list but my list This list includes Croissants which is one of the pastries I love to eat.
National Croissant's Day
I don’t know about you but whenever I am in a conference or Breakfast meeting, I use the opportunity to eat somethings I would generally not buy.

Not taking these things homes means home the temptation to eat them is not even an option. I am sure you might have somethings on your own list but my list This list includes Croissants which is one of the pastries I love to eat. It was quite intriguing and a pleasant surprise to me then to discover the origin of Croissants. This I happened to discover as I was looking through my Calendar of Awareness days this year.
The Croissant in a nutshell is actually a symbol of victory, which was first baked by the bakers in the Vienna(worked in the basement store rooms) who were honoured for their loyalty and the part they played in helping to save their city. They did this by divulging information about the attempts by the Turks who were digging an underground tunnel as a means to enter the city. When the army was alerted, the Turk’s attempt to invade failed . This made the pastry popular for breakfast in 1683 during the siege of Vienna by the Ottoman Empire and it has evolved over the years, becoming available almost globally.
Do you know that the crescent moon shape of the Croissant is the symbol of the Turkish Empire?
Well that has done it for me today, The only issue is it is already time for lunch but the next time I do some breakfast shopping, I will get myself some croissants under the excuse of reminiscing in the victory of the failed attempts by the Turks!
I am sure the Calorie and Weight watchers would not mind this for once .
We Hope you Learn't something Today!
