July 27 - National Scotch Day

Happy National Scotch Day! On July 27, we recognize an aged whisky distilled from malted barley. Make a toast today and share a drink with a friend. 

Since scotch is protected by law, specific guidelines must be followed when making it to be labeled as scotch. Otherwise, it may be an ordinary whisky (or whiskey if it’s made in the United States).  

First and foremost, scotch must be made in Scotland. Another requirement includes the grain used in the fermentation process. For Scotch, only malted barley may be used.  

The Scotch must also be aged in oak barrels for at least three years and have an ABV of less than 94.8%. 

While most Scotch is made with barley, water, and yeast, other grains can be included, but no fermentation additives, per law. 

Scotch whisky dates back to the 15th century where a Scottish taxman recorded the spirit in 1494. Since then, scotch, barley, malt, and grain have been in and out of the shadows.  

The distilleries or the smugglers either dodged the king’s taxman or organized against him. 

In 1933, scotch was first protected by definition in law. In 1988, it was further protected with the Scotch Whisky Act. 

There are five distinct categories of scotch whisky including single malt scotch, single grain scotch, blended malt scotch, blended grain scotch, and blended scotch. 

HOW TO OBSERVE 

Enjoy some scotch with friends. You can also explore other Protected Beverages around the world. Post on social media using #NationalScotchDay.

July 27 - National Crème Brûlée Day

Happy National Crème Brûlée Day! On July 27, today presents an opportunity to enjoy a mouth-watering custard for dessert. Since there are several flavors, don’t miss out! 

Crème brûlée is also known as burnt cream, crema Catalana, and Trinity crème. The dessert consists of a rich custard base.  

The custard is then topped with a contrasting layer of caramelized sugar. Chefs achieve this final layer by using a small propane torch.  

While vanilla is the most common custard base of crème brûlée, the dessert comes in a range of other flavors.

Coffee, citrus, nut, chocolate, and other fruit flavors find their way on to menus frequently. 

However, other unique flavorings such as green tea, lavender, liqueurs, and even savory crème brûlée add an interesting finish to any meal.  

The earliest known reference of crème brûlée, as we know it today, appears in 17th century French chef Francois Massialot’s 1691 cookbook. 

HOW TO OBSERVE 

 

If making a crème brûlée at home, follow the recipe precisely. Don’t make any substitutions.  

 

Below is a crème brûlée recipe for you to make and share. Or, invite a friend to join you at your favorite restaurant.  Post on social media using #NationalCremeBruleeDay.

July 27 - National Love Is Kind Day

Just as on July 4 Americans celebrate their independence, so is July 27 to be celebrated—a day to celebrate independence from the abuser. July 27, National Love is Kind Day is the day to: 

• 
  

  • Celebrate for all victims of domestic violence/domestic abuse their FREEDOM and INDEPENDENCE from their abuser.

• • Recognize our right to be treated with KINDNESS. Because real love is kind, not terrorizing.

• • Realize that kindness is the path to healthy and safer relationships, families, society, and the world.

• • Give voice for and hope and support to others who are still suffering, often in silence.

• • Spread messages how we can be kind to one another, especially to those closest to us.

• • Remember that love is not abusive, violent, demeaning or dehumanizing.  If someone uses love as an excuse for their hurtful behavior, it’s not real love.

With every generation, the cycle of abuse continues to cripple families, especially women and children who are most vulnerable. The cycle of abuse must stop now. 

National Love Is Kind Day encourages you to become aware of how you are treating people, how people are treating you, and how you can become emboldened, supported, and empowered to lead the joyful and productive life you deserve.  

With improved and proper support, families can know and experience the freedom and love found in an abuse-free home. Children grow up with positive role models, and both adults and children lead more productive, happy, and mentally healthy lives. 

The day is an opportunity to say “No to abuse, violence, and ridicule! And begin saying, “Yes, to kindness!  And yes, to sharing my voice! Yes, I am worth it and my life matters. Kindness rules!” 

Stop the cycle of abuse and make a difference to create a kinder world. 

HOW TO OBSERVE 

They are many ways to celebrate this day and join the Love is Kind Movement! 

• • Expect to be treated with kindness. Repeat the mantra “I deserve to be treated with kindness,” especially if you’ve ever been abused, bullied, or sexually harassed or assaulted.

• • Exchange negative actions and words for positive ones for the day. For example, replace hitting with a walk, yelling with deep breathing, and insults with kind gestures and words, such as, “let me understand.”

  Being kind to others starts with being kind to yourself. It also means setting healthy boundaries for yourself.

• • Celebrate with Dometic Violence survivors their freedom from abuse! If you or someone you know left an unhealthy relationship, this is YOUR Independence day.

  Celebrate your freedom from abuse/domestic violence. While you’re celebrating, post in social media your freedom story and tag #TheLoveisKindMovement Post. Share and celebrate here:

  https:www.facebook.com/groups/TheLoveisKindMovement and LIKE: https://www.facebook.com/TheLoveisKindNetwork where you can also share your stories and celebrate. 

• • Share on social media examples of how you are kind to those closest to you. Use hashtags: #LoveisKindDay #LoveisKind #LoveisKindNotTerrorizing

• • Believe in and direct domestic violence victims who reach out to you to DV centers nearest them.

HISTORY 

On July 27, 2018, Rosie Aiello, MBA and Saudi Arabian Sunny Sophie Gabrielle, co-founders of The Love is Kind Network, founded National Love is Kind Day.  

This day also represents the day Rosie and Sunny gained their freedom from a violent relationship.   

In 2019, the Registrar at National Day Calendar® proclaimed the day to be observed annually on July 27. 

About the Love is Kind Network 

Rosie Aiello and Sunny are the co-founders of The Love is Kind Network, The Love is Kind Movement Facebook group, and National Love is Kind Day. 

Both spread the message to create a kinder and healthier world and support stronger, more wholesome families, free of violence and family terror. 

July 27 also represents the day Rosie and Sunny gained their freedom after an international escape from a domestic violent relationship. 

Trapped in an emotionally, mentally, and financially abusive relationship for nearly twenty-five years, Rosie engineered their escape from the Middle East to save her daughter Sunny and herself from domestic violence.  

Nearly mentally destroyed and stunned by PTSD, Rosie and Sunny arrived in their home state of California.  

Within a few short years, Rosie became a speaker, best-selling author, and an international award-winning entrepreneur. 

Rosie and Sunny are on a mission to help one million women and their children free themselves from the shackles of abuse, and help them create joyful and productive lives.
