Everything Everywhere Daily - The Battle of Trenton

In the winter of 1776, things did not look good for the Continental Army. 

Everything got off to a great start in 1775, but this year saw a series of defeats at the hands of the British. 

Things were looking so bad that many Americans thought that the revolution was effectually over. 

If Washington was to keep the revolution going, he needed a miracle. 

He needed a Christmas miracle. 

Learn about the Battle of Trenton and the Christmas attack that kept that revolution alive on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

NPR's Book of the Day - ‘General Sherman’s Christmas’ captures the war-time holiday in Savannah 150 years ago

During the Civil War, Union Army Gen. William Tecumseh Sherman and his troops arrived in Savannah, Georgia, days before Christmas in 1864. The city was their final stop on Sherman's March to the Sea, a military campaign to weaken Confederate power through the state of Georgia. Stanley Weintraub's 2009 book, General Sherman's Christmas, explores the holiday celebration in the war-torn city. In today's episode, we revisit a conversation between Weintraub and NPR's Guy Raz about Sherman's controversial reputation and how they tied twigs to the heads of mules to turn them into reindeer.

Everything Everywhere Daily - The 1826 West Point Egg Nog Riot

The United States Military Academy in West Point, New York, is one of the most prestigious academic institutions in the United States. 

Their motto of “Duty, Honor, Country” is something for every cadet that attends the academy to aspire to. 

However, things haven’t always been that way. There was a period when West Point was downright rowdy and rambunctious. 

Learn more about the 1826 West Point Egg Nog riot and how the military academy completely went out of control one Christmas on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

NPR's Book of the Day - New cookbook ‘Jiggle!’ aims to bring gelatin back in style

In the '70s, gelatin was very much in vogue. Gatherings often featured a colorful, molded jello salad that contained surprising ingredients from cottage cheese to tuna. Those dishes have since fallen out of favor, but a new cookbook by Peter DiMario and Judith Choate declares that gelatin is back. Jiggle! includes modernized recipes for sweet, savory and layered dishes, such as Grandma's Ambrosia and Watermelon Margarita Bites. In today's episode, DiMario talks with Here & Now's Deepa Fernandes about the origins of gelatin, how to achieve the perfect suspension, and the fun of updating gelatin dishes with fresh ingredients and flavors.
