February 22: Have some Cherries for George Washington's Birthday
George Washington was the First President of the United States and born on this very day, February 22nd, in 1732. Washington was one of the Founding Fathers of America and served two terms as the Commander-in-Chief. His presidency was remembered with greatness and his leadership style, including having a cabinet system and delivering an inaugural address, has heavily influenced generations of presidents in the United States and around the world.
We here at Dishfolio are celebrating the birthday of the great George Washington by featuring online food recipes of one of his favorite foods, the cherry. It has been said that the president loved eating cherry in any form but was particularly fond of cherry pie.
