LABOR DAY...some History Facts! 

The first Monday in September, is a creation of the labor movement and is dedicated to the social and economic achievements of American workers. It constitutes a yearly national tribute to the contributions workers have made to the strength, prosperity, and well-being of the United States.

The first state law was passed by Oregon on February 21, 1887. During the year four more states - Colorado, Massachusetts, New Jersey, and New York - created the Labor Day holiday by legislative enactment. By the end of the decade Connecticut, Nebraska, and Pennsylvania had followed suit. By 1894, 23 other states had adopted the holiday in honor of workers, and on June 28 of that year, Congress passed an act making the first Monday in September of each year a legal holiday in the District of Columbia and the territories.


The First Labor Day was a planned demonstration and picnic in New York City on Tuesday, September 5, 1882.  

The first Monday in September was selected as the holiday in 1884

CULINARY HISTORY
   
  ETYMOLOGY
quiche
QUICHE LORRAINE

A Quiche is an open-faced pastry crust with a filling of savory custard with cheese, meat, fish or vegetables.
Quiche can be served hot or cold.

Although known as a classic French dish, the Quiche originates from Germany. The word Quiche comes from French, which was borrowed from the Alsace-Lorraine dialect "Küeche" and, from the German word "Kuchen" meaning cake. The Lorraine is a region in France which borders with Germany.

The Quiche Lorraine is a popular variant that was originally an open pie with a filling of custard with smoked bacon or lardons. It was only later that cheese was added to the quiche Lorraine. The addition of Gruyère cheese makes a quiche au gruyère or a quiche vosgienne. The quiche Alsacienne is similar to the Quiche Lorraine, though onions are added to the recipe.

LE CORDON BLEU 
CORDON BLEU

English Translation: The Blue Ribbon

Le Cordon Bleu is the world's largest hospitality education institution, with over 50 schools on five continents serving 20,000 students annually. Its primary education focus is on hospitality management, culinary arts and gastronomy

The origin of the school comes from L'Ordre des Chevaliers du Saint Esprit, an elite group of French knights that was created in 1578. Each member was awarded the Cross of the Holy Spirit, which hung from a blue ribbon. According to one story, the group became known for its extravagant and luxurious banquets, known as "cordons bleus". While these dinners ended at the time of the French Revolution, the name remained synonymous with excellent cooking.

The name was adopted by the French culinary magazine, La Cuisinière Cordon Bleu, founded by Marthe Distel in the late 19th century. The magazine began offering special lessons by some of the best chefs in France. This eventually grew to become a cooking school that opened in Paris in 1895 and quickly became one of the most élite cooking schools in the world. The school closed during the German occupation of Paris (1940-44). After the war, Madame Elisabeth Brassart relaunched the school both on rue du Faubourg Saint Honoré in Paris and at the Chateau de Montjean.

Madame Brassart managed the school until 1984; at the age of 87 she decided it was time to retire. She sold the school to the previous owner, André J. Cointreau, a descendant of both the Cointreau and Rémy Martin dynasties.

In the United States, 18 schools operate under the Le Cordon Bleu name in the United States through a marketing relationship with Career Education Corporation; the deal was renewed in 2008 to continue until 2013.
