Not much in the food blog world this week: apparently everyone's too busy shopping and making pies, or something. Fooducate explores the difference between broth and stock (broth is made from meat only, stock from meat and bones both, so stock has the stronger flavor); and a study in Denmark has found that “while adding butter to your diet does increase bad cholesterol levels, cheese does not.” (Truth in advertising: the study was sponsored by the Danish dairy industry.) For the benefit of the vegetarians at the Thanksgiving table, Chow.com offers a stack of vegetarian recipes including one for stuffing served in an acorn squash – that looks tasty and I'm not even a vegetarian.
And, in the vein of our common interest here, I quote Darya Pino of Summer Tomato:
Overeating is certainly a possibility when food anxiety is a constant force in your life, but Thanksgiving is a perfect opportunity to start getting over it. Really. It may seem counterintuitive that such a food-forward holiday can be stress free, but let’s not forget that the real point of Thanksgiving isn’t turkey or pie, but being thankful.
[ ... ]
If you care about your health and want to keep your eating under control on Thanksgiving, why not focus your attention on strengthening relationships and spending time with the people you care about? Instead of worrying about yourself and what you want to accomplish, ask people about themselves and discuss mutual interests.
Let food be part of the celebration, but not the purpose of your day.
Tomorrow is National Homemade Bread Day (this can be healthy) and National Baklava Day (not so much); the 19th is National Carbonated Beverage With Caffeine Day (yahoo, good old Mountain Dew).
November 16th: National Fast Food Day
November 17th: National Homemade Bread Day, National Baklava Day
November 18th: National Vichyssoise Day,
November 19th: National Carbonated Beverage with Caffeine Day
November 20th: National Nouveau Beaujolais Day, National Peanut Butter Fudge Day (now there's a combination)
November 21st: National Gingerbread Day, National Stuffing Day
November 22nd: National Cashew Day, National Cranberry Relish Day
November 23rd: National Espresso Day, Eat a Cranberry Day
There may not be a handout next week, as most groceries do not print one the day before Thanksgiving.
