Today is National Prime Rib Day, but it’s a bit late to start now. This Saturday, the 30th, is National Oatmeal Cookie Day, and I know there are ways to make those low in Points. It’s also National Raisin Day, so add raisins.
May begins on Sunday: National Egg Month, National Asparagus Month (yum), National Salad Month, National Strawberry Month, National Salsa Month, and National Mediterranean Diet Month. The 2nd, this coming Monday, is National Truffle Day: there are two kinds of truffles, one high in Points but easily accessible, the other Points-free but shudderingly expensive.
April 27th: National Prime Rib Day
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 Truffle Day
May 3rd: National Chocolate Custard Day, National Raspberry Tart Day
May 4th: National Homebrew Day, National Orange Juice Day, National Candied Orange Peel Day

Bargain guide, week beginning April 20th
Saturday is National Picnic Day! Pack up your lunches and get outside before the heat sets in. The 25th is National Zucchini Bread Day, and the Internet is just full of low-fat zucchini bread recipes. This fourth week of April is National Egg Salad Week too, if you were wondering what to put in your picnic.
Friday is National Hot Cross Buns Day. (“I have hot cross buns!” “Well, wear a long coat and they won’t show!”) I have been told but cannot confirm that if you keep a hot cross bun in your house from one Good Friday to the next, your house will not burn down all that year. Sunday, being Easter, is National Baked Ham with Pineapple Day and also the official end of chocolate season for this year. I am searching for Russell Stover Chocolate Mini Bunnies – they come in a package of 42 chocolate bunnies the size of M&Ms. (But wouldn’t that make it hard to bite off the ears?)

Courtesy of Fooducate, an interesting interactive graphic at CivilEats showing how calorie consumption in the US has risen over the past forty years. In 1970, the average American consumed 2168 calories per day. By 2008, that number had risen to 2673.
Fooducate also has an interesting article discounting the “all calories are equal” notion. Turns out you burn FAR more calories eating and digesting whole or minimally-processed foods than you do consuming highly processed foods: subjects who ate sandwiches made of whole-grain bread and real cheese burned almost twice as many calories digesting them as people who ate sandwiches with the same calorie and fat count, but made from white bread and process cheese. (The author also gives WW a polite nod for the new PointsPlus “free fruit” system!)
The 15th – the day after tomorrow – is National Glazed Spiral Ham Day. Hey, it freezes well. The day after is a good combination, both National Eggs Benedict Day and Day of the Mushroom. And one week from today is Lima Bean Respect Day. (I recently found a wartime recipe that was a perfect example of why lima beans get so little respect: I shall append it to this posting. It looks, um, very high in protein.)
Third week of April: National Bubblegum Week, National Week of the Ocean
April 13th: National Peach Cobbler Day
April 14th: National Pecan Day
April 15th: National Glazed Spiral Ham Day
April 16th: National Eggs Benedict Day, Day of the Mushroom
April 17th: National Cheeseball Day, Healthy Kids Day
April 18th: Birthday of Animal Crackers
April 19th: National Garlic Day, National Amaretto Day (I recommend taking these separately)
April 20th: Lima Bean Respect Day, National Pineapple Upside Down Cake Day

BAKED LIMA AND SALMON LOAF
Perpetrated by the California Lima Bean Growers Association, March 1940. It is described as "thrifty" and, possibly more creatively, as "a Lenten delight for appetites and budgets".
3 cups cooked limas
2 cups soft bread crumbs
1 cup flaked canned salmon
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1/4 teaspoon chili powder
1/2 cup canned tomatoes
1/3 cup chopped green pepper
2 teaspoons lemon juice
1 tablespoon chopped pimiento
2 slightly beaten eggs
1/4 cup buttered crumbs
Mash limas and combine with all ingredients except buttered crumbs. Place in greased 5 1/2" x 7" loaf pan and sprinkle with buttered crumbs. Bake in moderate oven (350 degrees) about 45 minutes. Serves 8.
PointsPlus count per serving: 5. I think some added onion would not be amiss, nor would it adversely affect the Points count.

Bargain guide, week beginning April 6th
According to MSNBC, meat is up in Arizona but milk is down. My findings confirm this.
Today, as I mentioned last week, is the anniversary of both Teflon and TV dinners: Friday is the anniversary of milk in glass bottles, delivered to the door in 1872.
This second week in April is National Egg Salad Week: here is one of many available recipes for low-fat egg salad. April is itself Florida Tomato Month, National Garlic Month, and National Grilled Cheese Sandwich Month, and the 12th is National Grilled Cheese Day.
April 6th: National Caramel Popoorn Day
April 7th: National Coffee Cake Day
April 8th: National Empanada Day
April 9th: Chinese Almond Cookie Day
April 10th: National Cheese Fondue Day
April 11th: National Grilled Cheese Day, National Licorice Day
April 12th: National Peach Cobbler Day
April 13th: National Pecan Day
