- On this day in 1881, a centrifugal separator was patented by Edwin J. Houston and Elihu Thomson which enabled the cream to be separated from milk.
- Around this time, in the Netherlands, Casparus Van Wooden patented a chocolate powder which could be stirred into milk.
- And on this day in 1812, the Territory of Orleans became the State of Louisiana. (and the beignets were grand!)
I do not know about Louisiana (my smart friend does), but I DO know about cream and chocolate.
I wonder who was born on the same day that sock yarn was improved greatly by the addition of a little nylon.

Happy Birthday Susan,
What a novel site. I hope you don't take this personally, I happened upon your site in search of info on cream separation and lo and behold, I discovered the chocolate powder item. I just celebrated Chocolate Milk Powder Day on my blog. You may want to take a peek cause the man's name is Van Houten not Van Wooden. I also included GREAT easy recipes.
Thanks for your time and my delightful visit:)
Woops! It's the Months of Edible Celebrations blog for the recipes & the info.
Sorry about that:)
Hello Susan. Thanks for commenting on my blog :)
