Welcome – as of Saturday – to May, which is (among many other things) National Asparagus Month, National Egg Month, National Gazpacho Aficionados Month, National Salad Month, National Salsa Month, and National Strawberry Month. The first week of May is National Herb Week, which goes well with the eggs, the salads, the asparagus, and of course the gazpacho and the salsa, and National Raisin Week.
May 4th, next Tuesday, is National Orange Juice Day and National Homebrew Day. The day after that, one week from today, is Cinco de Mayo, so we can fully expect anything that can be even tangentially connected to that day to be heavily promoted and possibly priced well.
April 28th: National Blueberry Pie Day
April 29th: National Shrimp Scampi Day
April 30th: National Raisin Day
May 1st: National Chocolate Parfait Day
May 2nd: National Truffles Day (my mysterious sources differ on whether this day commemorates chocolate truffles or the mushroom kind).
May 3rd: National Chocolate Custard Day, National Raspberry Tart Day
May 4th: National Homebrew Day, National Orange Juice Day, National Candied Orange Peel Day
May 5th: Cinco de Mayo, National Hoagie Day

Tomorrow, the 22nd, besides being Earth Day (I know not one person here had been warned of that), is National Jellybean Day. Twelve Jelly Belly jellybeans are one Point. Sunday, the 25th, is National Zucchini Bread Day: a low-fat zucchini bread that is two Points per slice can be found here. The day after, the 26th, is National Pretzel Day, and hard pretzels are still pretty much fat-free.

Trivia answer: Each of them – every single one – is higher in calories and has more grams of fat than a KFC Original Recipe Double Down. And except for the Triple Whopper and the Angus Mushroom & Swiss Burger, every one is higher in sodium as well.

Trivia answer: Each of them – every single one – is higher in calories and has more grams of fat than a KFC Original Recipe Double Down. And except for the Triple Whopper and the Angus Mushroom & Swiss Burger, every one is higher in sodium as well.

Bargain guide, week beginning April 7th
And fully twenty-four hours overdue I finally get the thing posted. But it does have the Fry's information!
This second week in April is National Egg Salad Week: at the end of this posting I include a 2-Points-per-serving egg salad recipe. It is also National Garden Week. If you don’t have a garden this year, grow some cress on damp paper towels. Monday, the 12th, is National Licorice Day for those who enjoy licorice. For the rest of us too, I suppose.
Tomorrow is Milk In Glass Bottles Day – the sale of milk in glass bottles began in 1879. The average life-span of a milk bottle was 22.5 round trips (dairy to consumer to dairy), which is more use than we usually get out of a modern plastic jug.
April 7th: National Coffee Cake Day
April 8th: National Empanada Day
April 9th: National Chinese Almond Cookie Day
April 10th: National Cinnamon Croissant Day
April 11th: National Cheese Fondue Day
April 12th: Grilled Cheese Sandwich Day, National Licorice Day
April 13th: National Peach Cobbler Day
April 14th: National Pecan Day

This second week in April is National Egg Salad Week: at the end of this posting I include a 2-Points-per-serving egg salad recipe. It is also National Garden Week. If you don’t have a garden this year, grow some cress on damp paper towels. Monday, the 12th, is National Licorice Day for those who enjoy licorice. For the rest of us too, I suppose.
Tomorrow is Milk In Glass Bottles Day – the sale of milk in glass bottles began in 1879. The average life-span of a milk bottle was 22.5 round trips (dairy to consumer to dairy), which is more use than we usually get out of a modern plastic jug.
April 7th: National Coffee Cake Day
April 8th: National Empanada Day
April 9th: National Chinese Almond Cookie Day
April 10th: National Cinnamon Croissant Day
April 11th: National Cheese Fondue Day
April 12th: Grilled Cheese Sandwich Day, National Licorice Day
April 13th: National Peach Cobbler Day
April 14th: National Pecan Day
