August 4: Share Your Favorite Comfort Food on International Friendship Day!
Friendship Day was first born in South America, but it has now spread to become a worldwide phenomenon. It's a chance to show the people you socialize with the most how much you appreciate their company.
When it comes to cooking some comfort food, you need to take on a bit of a private investigator role. Try to figure out what their favorite dishes are, and cook them as a surprise. For friendship gift ideas, a scrapbook or a framed collage of some of your best moments will be moving and emotional for them.
Perhaps you would like to embark on an epic movie marathon, with popcorn, homemade ice cream and some nachos that you have created yourself. You could bake a cake and add their name on with icing. You might also want to give people a taste of home if your friends are far away from home, as this can be particularly comforting. Look through Dishfolio's database for some great online food recipes that you can make with your friend!
