At Fooducate, a set of tips on how to handle the possibly overwhelming piles of fresh produce that may even as I type these words be dominating your kitchen counter and refrigerator, and a link to a study in the European Journal of Nutrition which reveals – in far more technical language – that drinking sugared soft drinks decreases your body’s ability to burn fats. Interesting to know, since according to a recent Gallup survey, half of Americans drink at least one glass of soda a day..
Chow.com has a nice set of refreshing things to do with cucumbers – pickles, pitas, margaritas – and a stack of recipes handily labeled “When Salad is the Meal”, also very nice for the time of year when no sane person wants to get within two yards of a stove. (I didn't even know what this week's WW topic would be!) Snack-Girl has “a tofu recipe for tofu haters” and one for making your own sherbet with a blender.
The ongoing continent-wide drought is likely to send grocery prices through the roof. Odd, since I thought they were there already.
Here is the Salad in a Jar!
Last week’s handout and entry said that Crème Brûlée Day was on the 21st. But another of my sources says that the 27th, the day after tomorrow, is Crème Brûlée Day! And of course this Sunday, the 29th, is National Cheese Sacrifice Purchase Day OF WHICH I CAN LEARN NO MORE than that it is indeed National Cheese Sacrifice Purchase Day. Some sources speculate that it may have something to do with sacrificing cheese in mouse traps. Beyond that, or how or where it originated … nothing.
July 25th: National Hot Fudge Sundae Day
July 26th: National Coffee Milkshake Day
July 27th: National Crème Brûlée Day, National Scotch Day -- not a combination that would spontaneously occur to me, but I'm sure something can be done with it
July 28th: National Milk Chocolate Day
July 29th: National Lasagne Day, Cheese Sacrifice Purchase Day
July 30th: National Cheesecake Day
July 31st: Cotton Candy Day, National Raspberry Cake Day, Jump for Jelly Beans Day
August 1st: National Raspberry Cream Pie Day; Lughnasadh; 1932, the Mars Bar is introduced
