Bargain guide, week beginning October 6th

This Friday, October 8th, is National Fluffernutter Day. There may be a way to make this low in Points, but if so I cannot think of it. The day after, rather to my bafflement, is Moldy Cheese Day. Bleu cheese is a moldy cheese. The day after tomorrow is also the second Friday in October and thus World Egg Day. One week from today is Yorkshire Pudding Day, and I know there’s no low-Points version of that. This second week in October is American Beer Week and, of course, National Food Bank Week.

Found at Serious Eats: a genuine low-Points recipe for homemade creamed corn, which is in every imaginable way better than that glop in a can. Honestly: two ears of corn, one cup of 2% milk, salt and pepper! That’s all! Dump into a pan, scrape the cobs to release the corn “milk”, barely simmer for 35 minutes or until it starts to thicken. Even better the next day.
