The very first of the new crop of navel oranges are in, heralding the Annual Southwestern Citrus Inundation. Within a few months you will not be able to enter a retail establishment without having citrus fruits fling themselves at your head.
Today is National Candy Day. Why National Candy Day comes four days after Halloween is a mystery. Tomorrow is Guy Fawkes Night – “Remember, remember the Fifth of November!” Sunday is National Harvey Wallbanger Day. I do not have enough imagination to make up such items as these:
November 4th: National Candy Day
November 5th: National Doughnut Day
November 6th: National Nachos Day
November 7th: Bittersweet Chocolate with Almonds Day
November 8th: National Cappuccino Day, National Harvey Wallbanger Day
November 9th: National Scrapple Day, Cook Something Bold & Pungent Day
November 10th: National Vanilla Cupcake Day
November 11th: National Sunday Day
Albertson’s has the first free turkeys of the year: this week only, if you spend $100 at a single transaction you can get a free turkey up to 15 lbs. (You may need a coupon, but it’s on the front page of the flyer which is available at the door.) Starting this week, in fact, turkeys, whole hams, and anything used for baking will be either on sale or heavily promoted in every store you step into.
If you’re thinking of deep-frying a turkey this year: A three-ounce serving of oven-roasted turkey breast contains 125 calories and 1.8 grams of fat, with a Points count of 3. Three ounces of deep-fried turkey breast contains 335 calories and 21 grams of fat, for a Points total of 8.
If you run across any good bargains I’ve missed, there’s a whole empty Comments box down there just waiting.
