The 21st, that’s next Tuesday, is the International Banana Festival. One is two Points, two are two Points. In Japan the third Sunday in September – that’s this coming Sunday – is Respect for the Aged Day. And of course, this Sunday is Talk Like A Pirate Day. Arrr.
Stock your freezer with boneless skinless chicken breasts this week.
In the news, the Corn Refiners’ Association is lobbying to have high-fructose corn syrup rebranded as “corn sugar” (I wonder why?); and a TV chef named Martin Blunos has assembled a cheese sandwich involving white-truffle cheddar, sliced quail eggs, century-old balsamic vinegar, and sourdough bread sprinkled with gold dust: total price, $172 (no word on the Points count). And in an entertaining item, The Atlantic has published an article comparing a Chipotle burrito to a Big Mac and arguing that the burrito is higher in fat, sodium, carbohydrate and cholesterol. (A more detailed analysis – not found at the Atlantic article, but available at fooducate.com – reveals that the Big Mac is less than eight ounces of food and usually eaten with fries and possibly a dessert, while the Chipotle burrito – “loaded”, as the one in the article was – weighs in at over a pound and a half and can be two full meals.)
And a professor of nutrition at Kansas State University, Mark Haub, has announced his intention to go on a diet entirely of junk food – Twinkies, sticky buns, powdered doughnuts and the like – to prove that it’s possible to lose weight if you keep your calorie intake below a certain level. He may indeed lose weight. I predict his arteries will not. Which, I suspect, is what he intends to prove: that there’s more to good health than just “losing weight”.

Bargain guide, week beginning September 8th
At one end of the healthiness range, the 13th is “Snack A Pickle Day” – most pickles have a Points count of zero, and they crunch. Enjoy. At the other end, the day after is National Cream Filled Doughnut Day. This second week of September is National Waffle Week and National Biscuits and Gravy Week, but it’s also Vegetarian Awareness Week.
Tomorrow is National Steak au Poivre Day, which can be quite low in Points depending on the steak you choose and how careful you are with the butter.
Courtesy of Consumerist, I’ve found an interesting Salon article exploring the scientific reasons why McDonald’s food is so notably, even disturbingly, resistant to deterioration. (There’s a link to photos of a Happy Meal that appears almost unchanged 137 days after it was purchased. Yummy!)
Also, I ran across a fascinating article about Kellogg’s Fiber Plus breakfast cereal, which is promoted as having “40% of your daily fiber!” as well as fruit and yogurt, and which actually includes – on an “Ingredients” list eighty-three items long – Red #40, Blue #2, Green #3, Blue #1, Red #40 Lake, “nonfat yogurt powder”, and for some reason two separate mentions of “fructooligosaccharides”.

Bargain guide, week beginning September 1st
This is the month when we all eagerly anticipate the heat breaking at last. September is – among many other things – Better Breakfast Month, Bourbon Heritage Month (the beverage, not the French royal dynasty), National Chicken Month, National Mushroom Month, National Potato Month (hmm – from those three ingredients one could easily concoct a rather good recipe), and National Organic Harvest Month. It's also National Honey Month, National Biscuit Month, National Papaya Month, National Rice Month, California Wines Month, Ethnic Foods Month, National Cholesterol Awareness Month, Food Allergy Awareness Month, and National Ice-Cream Sandwich Month.
It's also National Apple Month. So is next month. It’s all quite complicated. The 3rd is National Welsh Rarebit Day. The day after is Eat An Extra Dessert Day, which is what your 35 bonus Points are for, so don’t skip it!
And, of course, this Monday is Labor Day – the official close of Barbecue Season, which began on Memorial Day. So anything even remotely grillable – a category which now includes very nearly anything but peas – will be heavily promoted. Loss leaders include soft drinks, chips, pickles, and the less impressive grades of beer. And charcoal.
In the news: the FDA has ruled that the recent law requiring all chain restaurants with more than 20 locations to post calorie counts also applies to other chains – including movie theatres, airplanes (!), trains, grocery store food courts, and convenience stores that sell prepared food.

September 5th: National Cheese Pizza Day

Bargain guide, week beginning August 25th
Today is National Whisk(e)y Sour Day, please either designate a driver or celebrate this one at home! Or you can save it until this Sunday, the 29th, which some sources give for Whisk(e)y Sour Day.
Assuredly worth celebrating on the 29th is National More-Herbs-Less-Salt Day, a healthy way to season your food. Next Tuesday is Eat Outside Day, which given Arizona’s August climate may give an unintended meaning to the phrase “hot lunch”, and Trail Mix Day.
August 25th: Whiskey/Whisky Sour Day
August 26th: National Cherry Popsicle Day
August 27th: National Pot de Crème Day, Banana Lovers' Day
August 28th: National Cherry Turnover Day*
August 29th: More Herbs, Less Salt Day, alternate Whisky/Whiskey Sour Day, Chop Suey Day, Lemon Juice Day
August 30th: National Toasted Marshmallow Day

Week beginning August 18th
August 19th is Hot and Spicy Foods Day – I've found an excellent guide to which chile peppers are milder and which are hotter. (There’s a Bangladeshi pepper, the Dorset Naga, that’s sold with a health warning.) The 20th is Lemonade Day, which will be refreshing after the heat.
The 22nd is Eat A Peach Day – do I dare? The 25th is Whiskey Sour Day, or possibly Whisky Sour Day. I’m not going to argue. The 24th is National Waffle Day – not to be confused with International Waffle Day which is in March.
August 18th: National Ice Cream Pie Day, National Soft Ice Cream Day (All hail Golden Spoon.)
August 19th: National Potato Day, National Hot & Spicy Foods Day, some sources have this as National Soft Ice Cream Day
August 20th: Lemonade Day, National Chocolate Pecan Pie Day
August 21st: National Pecan Torte Day
August 22nd: National Spumoni Day, Eat a Peach Day
August 23rd: National Sponge Cake Day
August 24th: National Peach Pie Day, National Waffle Day
August 25th: Whisk(e)y Sour Day, National Banana Split Day

Wednesday, August 4, 2010
Tomorrow, August 5th, is International Beer Day: a celebration of beer’s greatness, a day to be celebrated by drinking beer, drinking beer with friends, and buying beer for others. There is a long-standing tradition (since 2007!) of greeting people on International Beer Day by handing them a beer and saying, “I bring you the gift of beer.” (Archaeologists have discovered ancient records in Egypt which reveal that the workers who built the Pyramids and the Sphinx went on strike when they were denied adequate beer.)
Saturday, the 7th, is National Raspberries In Cream Day, and one week from today, the 11th, is National Raspberry Tart Day. The 1st was National Raspberry Cream Pie Day – and yet, oddly, August is not National Raspberry Month. Raspberries might be at good prices nonetheless. The second week in August is National Apple Week, and they are crunchy and tasty and Filling Foods.
The 8th of August is National Sneak Some Zucchini Onto Your Neighbor’s Porch Day – good luck.
