AT LAST! What was that about, Blogspot?

Finally I'm able to post! Blogger was down last night every time I tried.

Hat-tip to Consumerist: “As part of its ongoing efforts to ‘help consumers balance calories consumed with calories expended,’ Coca-Cola plans to roll out a 90-calorie can later this year.” This 90-calorie can will still contain five and one-half teaspoons of sugar.

Pork is down, probably because of the season.

Today is both National Pumpkin Cheesecake Day and National Caramel Apple Day. The 25th is National Greasy Foods Day, a day we all will certainly honor more in the breach than the observance; and the 28th is National Wild Foods Day. (Don’t look like that. If you’ve ever eaten a mulberry off a tree, you’ve foraged for wild food.) This fourth week of October is also Chicken Soup For The Soul Week. More food-of-the-day days this week:

October 21st: Caramel Apple Day, National Pumpkin Cheesecake Day
October 22nd: National Nut Day
October 23rd: National Canning Day, National Boston Cream Pie Day
October 24th: National Bologna Day, Good & Plenty Day
October 25th: National Greasy Foods Day
October 26th: Pumpkin Day, Pretzel Day, Mince Meat Pie Day
October 27th: National Potato Day, American Beer Day (Oddly enough, National Potato Month is September.)
October 28th: National Chocolate Day (how many of those are there?), Wild Foods Day
