November is National Peanut Butter Lovers’ Month – that’s you, Debi! Also Raisin Bread Month, a good combination. It’s several other things as well, most notably Good Nutrition Month, but also Georgia Pecan Month, National Pepper Month, National Pomegranate Month, Vegan Month, Fun With Fondue Month, and the year's third consecutive National Apple Month.
The 4th of this month, oddly, is National Candy Day – “oddly” because I’d have thought it came last Sunday. (The handout erroneously gave the 3rd as the date for Candy Day -- sorry.) This Friday, the 5th, is one of the year’s two separate National Doughnut Days. Next Tuesday, the 9th, is Cook Something Bold and Pungent Day, and also Harvey Wallbanger Day. One week from today is not National Cupcake Day – that’s next month – but very specifically National Vanilla Cupcake Day.
November 3rd: Sandwich Day
November 4th: National Candy Day
November 5th: National Doughnut day (there are at least two of these)
November 6th: National Nachos Day
November 7th: Bittersweet Chocolate with Almonds Day
November 8th: Cook Something Bold and Pungent Day, Harvey Wallbanger Day, National Cappuccino Day
November 9th: National Scrapple Day
November10th: National Vanilla Cupcake Day
The Fooducate blog -- bookmark that -- is doing good series of articles on bread, what you're buying when you buy it, and how to buy it healthy. Part 1 (overview), Part 2 (whole grains), Part 3 (but what else are you getting?)-- there will be more, and you can find them from the main Fooducate page.

Bargain guide, week beginning October 27th
Today is American Beer Day; tomorrow is both National Chocolate Day and Wild Foods Day. Wipe that look off your face. If you’ve ever picked a blackberry off a bush you’ve eaten wild food. Halloween is both Candy Apple Day and, of course, Trick Or Treat For UNICEF Day. One week from today is National Sandwich Day.
Fascinating article at the Fooducate blog: nearly half the calories children under 12 consume are derived from junk food. Meanwhile, McDonald’s stock is at an all-time high and set to continue upwards.
And at Serious Eats, a genuine recipe for homemade candy corn. Honest. Homemade candy corn.

Bargain guide, week beginning October 20
I forgot to mention that this third week of October has been National Kraut Sandwich Week and National Pickled Peppers Week. The 23rd, this Saturday, is National Canning Day. A thrilling thought I’m sure for all of us Arizonans who are thinking at this point “But I just got the kitchen cooled down.” The 25th, Monday, is National Greasy Foods Day: to be honored in the breach rather than the observance. One week from today is American Beer Day, as distinguished from National Beer Day which was April 7th and also from International Beer Day which was August 7th. Oddly, American Beer Week was the second week of October. I have never claimed that all of these were logical.
October 20th: National Brandied Fruit Day
October 21st: National Pumpkin Cheesecake Day, National Caramel Apple Day
October 22nd: National Nut Day
October 23rd: National Canning Day, National Boston Cream Pie Day
October 24th: Good & Plenty Day, National Bologna Day
October 25th: National Greasy Foods Day, World Pasta Day
October 26th: National Pumpkin Day, National Pretzel Day, National Mincemeat Pie Day
October 27th: National Potato Day, American Beer Day
There’s a fascinating article at the Fooducate blog about the common “calories-in-equals-calories-out” notion, which it turns out may be incomplete: in a study done in Sweden, volunteers who snacked on candy and sweets gained more weight than those who snacked on an equal calorie value of peanuts. (The article also adds that the difference is “second order magnitude” when compared to Americans’ overall need to bloody well eat less.)
Marion Nestle, at Food Politics, has posted a collection of links to various articles on recent obesity research. (Calorie-free sweeteners may not trigger overeating after all.)
And courtesy of Consumerist, a site called Eat With A Spork has produced a program to determine exactly how much you’d have to eat – and spend – to win various prizes in the McDonald’s Monopoly game. (To win $500 cash, I had to eat 131,714 Big Macs – that’s 71,125,560 calories, 3,819,706 grams (that’s 8,421 pounds) of fat, and 136,982,560 milligrams (302 pounds) of sodium, and spend $491,293.22.

There’s a fascinating article at the Fooducate blog about the common “calories-in-equals-calories-out” notion, which it turns out may be incomplete: in a study done in Sweden, volunteers who snacked on candy and sweets gained more weight than those who snacked on an equal calorie value of peanuts. (The article also adds that the difference is “second order magnitude” when compared to Americans’ overall need to bloody well eat less.)
Marion Nestle, at Food Politics, has posted a collection of links to various articles on recent obesity research. (Calorie-free sweeteners may not trigger overeating after all.)
And courtesy of Consumerist, a site called Eat With A Spork has produced a program to determine exactly how much you’d have to eat – and spend – to win various prizes in the McDonald’s Monopoly game. (To win $500 cash, I had to eat 131,714 Big Macs – that’s 71,125,560 calories, 3,819,706 grams (that’s 8,421 pounds) of fat, and 136,982,560 milligrams (302 pounds) of sodium, and spend $491,293.22.

Bargain guide, week beginning October 13th
Tomorrow, October 14th, is National Chocolate Covered Insects Day. This is one chocolate treat I will voluntarily pass up, but if you really want some (it is after all October) you can order them online from Candy Warehouse, Candy Favorites, Educational Innovations, Science Bob, or Amazon.com.
The day after is National Chicken Cacciatore Day, a delicious dish and very easy to adapt to WW (take skinless chicken parts, brown them, throw in a can of tomatoes, every Italian vegetable you can think of plus some more garlic and red wine, simmer for half an hour). The 17th is, for absolutely no reason I can discern, Four Prunes Day. As with the chocolate covered insects, you can have mine.
The 20th, a week from today, is National Brandied Fruit Day, which is not nearly enough lead time. Get it started this week and you’ll have a nice topping for cake or ice-cream by next Brandied Fruit Day.
And according to Marion Nestle at Food Politics, the Institute of Medicine has just released its first analysis (PDF file) of Front-Of-Package labeling – “those little spots, check marks, and tokens that are all over food packages these days and that are supposed to indicate that the product is especially healthy for you”, as she explains.

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.

Bargain guide, week beginning September 29th
Tomorrow, September 30th, is National Mulled Cider Day. As the forecast high temperature tomorrow is 106°F, my suggestion is that we relocate this holiday to sometime in December or January. And hope the heat breaks soon.
October is National Apple Month. September was also National Apple Month. November will be National Apple Month too. The apple growers’ lobby carries a lot of clout. October is also National Cookie Month, Spinach Lovers’ Month, National Tomato Month, Vegetarian Awareness Month, National Pork Month and National Country Ham Month, National Seafood Month, National Chili Month, and lots more – see below. The 1st, this Friday, is World Vegetarian Day. It is also Homemade Cookies Day: there must be dozens of low-Points cookie recipes out there, maybe even some vegetarian.
October is, in full (as full as I can find, at any rate): Eat Country Ham Month, Fair Trade Month, National Apple Month, National Applejack Month, National Caramel Month, National Chili Month, National Cookie Month, National Dessert Month, National Pasta Month, National Pickled Peppers Month, National Pizza Festival Month, National Popcorn Poppin' {sic} Month, National Pork Month, National Pretzel Month, National Seafood Month, Spinach Lovers' Month, National Tomato Month, and Vegetarian Awareness Month.
The first week in October is National Chili Week and National No Salt Week.

October is National Apple Month. September was also National Apple Month. November will be National Apple Month too. The apple growers’ lobby carries a lot of clout. October is also National Cookie Month, Spinach Lovers’ Month, National Tomato Month, Vegetarian Awareness Month, National Pork Month and National Country Ham Month, National Seafood Month, National Chili Month, and lots more – see below. The 1st, this Friday, is World Vegetarian Day. It is also Homemade Cookies Day: there must be dozens of low-Points cookie recipes out there, maybe even some vegetarian.
October is, in full (as full as I can find, at any rate): Eat Country Ham Month, Fair Trade Month, National Apple Month, National Applejack Month, National Caramel Month, National Chili Month, National Cookie Month, National Dessert Month, National Pasta Month, National Pickled Peppers Month, National Pizza Festival Month, National Popcorn Poppin' {sic} Month, National Pork Month, National Pretzel Month, National Seafood Month, Spinach Lovers' Month, National Tomato Month, and Vegetarian Awareness Month.
The first week in October is National Chili Week and National No Salt Week.

Bargain guide, week beginning September 22nd
Today is National Ice Cream Cone Day – all hail Golden Spoon. The 28th, next Tuesday, is National Drink Beer Day. (What else one would do with it I do not know. I have read accounts of deep-frying it but would not try it myself.) Some of my sources have tomorrow, the 23rd, being National White Chocolate Day; some have the 23rd being National Chocolate Day, with National White Chocolate Day today, so you’d better eat both kinds on both days just to be on the safe side.
September 22nd: National Ice Cream Cone Day, National White Chocolate Day
September 23rd: National White Chocolate Day, National Chocolate Day
September 24th: National Cherries Jubilee Day
September 25th: National Crab Newburg Day
September 26th: National Pancake Day
September 27th: National Corned Beef Hash Day, National Chocolate Milk Day
September 28th: National Strawberry Cream Pie Day, National Drink Beer Day
September 29th: National Coffee Day, National Mocha Day
