Blueberry Popsicle Day

I've never even heard of a blueberry popsicle...and it doesn't sound that appetizing.  I think I'll stick with cherry.

SEPTEMBER!!!

School has started, the weather will soon start turning colder.  We're 66.67% through the year.  Hard to believe it's gone by that fast, but hold on cause years are like toilet paper - the closer you get to the end, the faster it goes.

National Cherry Popover Day

Contrary to popular belief - I think - popovers are, in fact, different than turnovers.  So celebrate this one too!  More dessert for everyone!

National Trail Mix Day

If the weather permits a hike, this would be the perfect opportunity to celebrate some trail mix.  I personally quite enjoy the classic peanut/raisin/M & M combo.  They all compliment each other quite well.  But for those with allergies, or aversions to sugar, there are other options.

Eat Outside Day

Picnic!!!  Backyard BBQ!!!  Eating takeout on the front porch!!!  So many options, so little time.

More Herbs, Less Salt Day

A day dedicated to wellness.  Herbs are better for your health than salt, so use them to flavor your foods rather than resorting to salt.  You'll feel better - promise.

Chop Suey Day

Chop Suey...mmm...There has been some debate as to whether this is a Chinese or an American dish.  Frankly I don't think it really matters.  Either way, it's delicious.  For those not interested in the food aspect, here's a song.

Lemon Juice Day

Cures ills, adds flavor to foods, expires quickly.  What more could you want?  I just especially love buying lemon juice in those little lemon-shaped bottles.  That's cool.

I don't know that I'm a banana lover, but I am a banana liker.  I like banana's, banana bread, banana licuado, even banana flavored oatmeal.  Good times.

National Vanilla Custard Day

In Chinatown - any chinatown really - go find a chinese bakery, or go to dim sum and order their custard tarts.  They're probably the most amazing food known to man.  That's how I want to celebrate.

National Thriftshop Day

I think this is now my new official favorite holiday.  I LOVE thriftshopping. And I am dang good at it.  Bargains follow me around like moths to a flame.  The stuff you find at thrift stores is just to die for.  And that is all.

#2 Pencil Day

We've voted, and our preferred activities for #2 pencil day are 1 - dress up like a pencil, 2 - take a scantron test, 3 - poke people with a pencil (though this was a decidedly un-nice thing to do), 4 - get lead poisoning.  A full day of activities.

Whoever discovered that oranges taste so good with cream is not only a culinary genius, but a genius because of the fact that citrus fruits will curdle milk faster than you can say "Bob's your uncle."  I praise his daring ambition and will enjoy a creamsicle  in his honor.

Happy Feet Day

Keeping your feet healthy and happy is important.  After all, you really only get two and they should last you your whole life.  There's probably not a more exercised part of the body than the feet.  So get a pedicure, massage, foot rub, foot scrub, whatever.  But pamper your feet today and they'll continue to take care of you for years to come. :)

Julienne Fries Day

This phrase always makes me think of the beginning of Aladdin, but I digress.  Julienne fries, unexcitingly enough, are just regular french fries.  Julienning refers to the way the potato is cut, namely, in long thin strips.  But whatever, eat some fries guilt-free!  Hooray!

Middle Child's Day

Finally, some recognition!  For those of you (myself included, to some extent) suffering from middle child syndrome, go out and get yourself some ice cream, or julienne fries, and celebrate your middleness!  I'm technically not a middle child being #2 of 4, but I'm about as middle as it gets in my family.  I'm the middle of three boys, and then came the baby girl.

I tried it once.  I don't know that I was actually hypnotized, but it was fun to be in the show.  One thing I do remember is that I had to take a bite out of a lemon that we were told was an orange, and I don't remember it being sour when I bit into it.  Who knows?
