Wren's bargain guide, week beginning November 26th:

Sorry about tapping out on tonight's meeting, I'm still not well.

Fooducate covers a number of topics this week, including the new requirement for showing calorie counts in restaurants, what happens to the alcohol when you cook with wine, and whether a serving of bread is one slice or two?  Summer Tomato has a set of “9 Essential Steps to Avoiding Holiday Weight Gain”.  A new study shows that people who eat at home, rather than in restaurants, eat healthier overall and consumer fewer calories.

Happy people walk differently from sad people – and walking as though you're happy can actually make you happier!  The Well investigates, how many eggs can you eat and have it still be considered “good for you”?  And a new app, Calorific, shows – literally shows, with photographs – exactly how much of various foods adds up to 200 calories. 

Recipes!  At Simply Recipes I find a roasted kabocha squash soup, and a mulligatawny variant made with leftover turkey.  Simple Nourished Living offers a healthy crunchy tuna salad.  And Snack Girl has a 2-PointsPlus-per-cup cauliflower sauce that her son deemed “almost as good as macaroni and cheese”.

Tomorrow is National Bavarian Cream Pie Day;  the day after is National French Toast Day, and Monday is both National Pie Day and Eat a Red Apple Day.  Monday also ushers in December, National Eggnog Month, and the first week in December is entirely explicably National Cookie Cutter Week.

November 27th:  National Bavarian Cream Pie Day
November 28th:  National French Toast Day
November 29th:  National Chocolates Day, Throw Out Your Leftovers Day

And, since there are no grocery flyers this week, there it rests.  Have a happy Thanksgiving, all, and I hope to see you next week!
