It’s National Shrimp Day! According to a study, America’s favorite shrimp dish is shrimp scampi.
Scampi are small crustaceans with pale pink shells that are similar to lobster, but Italian cooks in the United States use shrimp instead of scampi. The recipe goes as follows:
Saute the shrimp until they turn pink, which can take two-to-four minutes.
Stir in parsley and lemon juice.
Serve over pasta, or with crusty bread.

Do you know what mom wants this Mother’s Day? Dads may think they’re playing it safe by giving moms traditional flowers and candy, but a survey reveals that many moms would prefer digital gifts.
30 percent of moms still prefer flowers, but almost as many moms (27%) would like to receive a new gadget, such as a smartphone. Fewer than 5% of moms want candy on Mother’s Day.
Not surprisingly, almost three-quarters of dads (72%) admit they have problems choosing a Mother’s Day gift.

Phrases we need to stop using:
“If it’s meant to be, it’s meant to be” – This falls under the “you actually just said nothing” category.
“I mean . . .” – Why call attention to the fact that you’re saying what you mean? Do you normally not say what you mean?
“To be frank/to be honest. . .” – As opposed to the rest of the things you say, which are evasive.
‘At the end of the day. . .” – Formerly known as “when it is all said and done.”

It is National Raspberry Popover Day.
What you will need to make a raspberry popover:
1 Cup milk
2 Tablespoons unsalted butter, melted and divided
1 Tsp. grated fresh orange zest
1 Tsp. grated fresh lemon zest
1/2 Tsp. vanilla extract
1 Cup all-purpose flour
3 Tablespoons sugar
1/4 Tsp. salt
1 Package (6 ounces) Driscoll’s Raspberries
2 large eggs
1 large egg white
Directions:
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.
Whisk together the eggs, egg white, milk, 1 tablespoon of the butter, orange zest, lemon zest and the vanilla extract in a medium bowl. Combine the flour, sugar and salt in a separate bowl. Add the egg mixture to the flour mixture and stir until combined. Batter should be a little lumpy.
Place the popover pan in the oven and heat for 5 minutes. Remove the pan and carefully brush the cups with the remaining 1 tablespoon butter. Divide the batter evenly among the 6 cups (about 1/3 of a cup per well). Sprinkle the raspberries over the batter (You can press a few into the batter if you need to).
Bake until the popovers are puffed and golden brown, about 28-30 minutes. Serve immediately.

It’s National Pretzel Day! Here are some facts about pretzels:
The world can thank a frustrated teacher with leftover bread dough for the invention of the soft pretzel. In 610 C.E., while baking break, an Italian monk decided to create a treat to motivate his distracted catechism students. He rolled out ropes of dough, twisted them to resemble hands crossed on the chest in prayer and baked them. The monk christened his snacks as “pretiola” which is Latin for “little reward”. Parents who tasted their children’s classroom treats referred to them as “brachiola”, or little arms.
Pennsylvania has about 45 pretzel companies in the state. Due to that fact, 80 percent of the pretzels sold in the U.S. are made in Pennsylvania.
Pretzels are traditionally made with wheat flour, so the traditional pretzel contains anywhere from 300 to 500 calories.
Pretzels are also high in carbs, low in protein, but contain some B vitamins.
The current Guinness World Record holder for largest pretzel is Pilsner in El Salvador. In October of 2015, employees baked a massive pretzel that measured 29 feet, three inches (or 8.93 meters) long by 13 feet and three inches wide (or four meters wide). It weighted a whopping 1,728 pounds.
