Sunday is Easter. Ham prices have been (I’m sorry, really) cut to the bone. Strawberries are suddenly available by the flat.
April is to be, entirely superfluously, National Food Month. (I thought every month was food month?) It is also National Florida Tomato Month, National Grilled Cheese Month, National Soft Pretzel Month and National Soy Month. Good Friday is National Hot Cross Buns Day (it is said that if you keep a hot cross bun from one Good Friday to the next, your house will not burn down that year); Easter is National Baked Ham With Pineapple Day as well as being the official close of the chocolate season. April 2nd is National Peanut Butter and Jelly Day. April 4th is National Dandelion Day – a bit late for us here in Arizona as the dandelion greens are decidedly past their prime by now – and the first Monday in April begins National Bake Week.
Today is Tater Day (that’s the way they spell it – don’t blame me), so at the end of this entry is a recipe for fat-free microwave potato chips. They can also be made with sweet potatoes (the first Monday in April is National Sweet Potato Day).
Nibble the ears off and tell your child it’s a chocolate Easter hamster.

Fat-free potato chips, made in your microwave oven
Slice three potatoes very thinly – Yukon Gold potatoes are recommended. Use big fat ones as the chips will shrink. Rinse, pat dry, salt, season (pepper, chili powder, Spike, curry powder, Vege-Sal, Bacon Salt, you name it). Spread them on a microwave-safe plate in a single layer. How strong is your oven?
600- to 700-watt oven: Microwave at full power for 8 minutes, cool 3 minutes, turn over, microwave another 6 minutes.
750- to 800-watt oven: Microwave at full power for 7 minutes, cool 3 minutes, turn over, microwave another 4 minutes.
850- to 900-watt oven: Microwave at full power for 6 minutes, cool 3 minutes, turn over, microwave another 4 minutes.
If they’re not brown enough, give them another couple of minutes. They crisp as they cool. I am informed that this also works with carrots and beets, although not with higher-water-content vegetables such as zucchini. I am further informed that sweet-potato chips are very good with a sprinkling of cinnamon sugar instead of salt.

Wednesday, March 17, 2010
As I promised last week, I tried the Mystic Red Grapes at Safeway. They’re crisp and very sweet, slightly tough-skinned. Not up there with Champagne or the huge Holiday Seedless, but better than whatever red seedless grapes are most commonly available now.
Fish is still a loss leader at most supermarkets. It’s also still National Frozen Foods Month, and since Passover starts in just under two weeks anything kosher for Passover will be heavily promoted.
Today was St. Patrick’s Day, so drive home carefully as a lot of people have been imbibing a lot of green beer. Or any other sort. Or Irish whisky. Or any other sort. Tomorrow is Oatmeal Cookie Day, and I know there are lots of ways to make those Points-friendly. The 22nd, next Monday, is a celebration of the healthiest beverage: National Water Day.
And a week from the day after tomorrow, March 26th, is Make Up Your Own Holiday Day. I can’t figure out how to post a poll in Blogspot, but post your vote (the Comments button is right down there) for Healthy Snacks Day, Don’t Waste Your Points Day, Add Veggies To Everything Day, or Filling Foods Can Be Delicious Day. Or any other holiday idea you can think of! Other holidays:

Bargain guide, week beginning March 10th
Today was Pack Your Lunch Day. If you missed it, no one will stop you from packing one tomorrow. I packed chicken sausage and steamed broccoli.
Sunday is 3/14, so bake a pi. Monday is Poires Belle-Hélène Day, which would be easy to make low in Points if you used vanilla frozen yogurt and a reduced-fat syrup. And of course St. Patrick’s Day (which is also National Corned Beef and Cabbage Day and, God help us, Green Beer Day) is a week from today, so every imaginable green thing will be heavily promoted in grocery stores. Green cabbage and green vegetables are healthy and low in Points. Green beer I cannot vouch for.
You may have come here for information on the Full Irish Breakfast. This very traditional meal involves fried eggs, fried bacon, fried pork sausages, fried beef sausages, fried white pudding (a sausage of pork, pork fat, and oatmeal), fried black pudding (blood sausage), fried potatoes, fried mushrooms, fried tomatoes, fried soda bread, fried potato bread, and tea strong enough to stir itself. I estimate that this would come to a Points count of about seventy. The cardiac arrest is a bonus.

Bargain guide, week beginning March 3rd
With all the daily/weekly/monthly food celebrations I mention in these pages, one of the few likely to actually impact your grocery bill is happening now: March is National Frozen Food Month. This is also one of the few such celebrations I can tell you the reasoning behind: food packers want to mark frozen goods down sharply to unload last year’s pack, so there will be room in their packing centers and distribution centers when the new harvests start to come in.
One week from today, March 10, is Pack Your Lunch Day. So do that. I highly recommend bento boxes for portion control.
Fish is still omnipresent and inexpensive. Besides being Lent and Frozen Food Month, March is also National Celery Month, National Flour Month, Maple Sugar Month, National Nutrition Month, National Noodle Month, National Peanut Month, National Sauce Month, National Caffeine Awareness Month, Great American Meatout Month, and (tada!) International Hamburger And Pickle Month.
March 3rd: National Cold Cuts Day, National Mulled Wine Day
March 4th: National Pound Cake Day
March 5th: National Cheese Doodle Day National Absinthe Day (it makes the heart grow fonder)
March 6th: National Frozen Food Day, National White Chocolate Cheesecake Day
March 7th: National Cereal Day, National Crown Roast of Pork Day
March 8th: National Peanut Cluster Day
March 9th: National Crabmeat Day
March 10: National Pack Your Lunch Day, National Blueberry Popover Day

Bargain guide, week beginning February 24th
This fourth week of February is National Pancake Week. Tomorrow is National Clam Chowder Day: there are low-Points versions of New England clam chowder (the milk kind), and Manhattan clam chowder (the tomato kind) is nearly fat free. Saturday, the 27th, is National Strawberry Day: I have no idea why this comes in what is for most of the country the dead of snow-covered winter, but they’re tasty and on the Filling Foods list so enjoy. The 28th is Purim, a good day for (among many other things) giving food gifts to friends and donating food to the hungry.

Wednesday, February 17, 2010
I've decided the only way to make this blog regular is to post it BEFORE the meeting.
Today is Ash Wednesday, the beginning of Lent, which means fish and seafood in all forms are widely available at deeply discounted prices – and are being heavily promoted even when they’re not deeply discounted.. Appropriately for the season, tomorrow is – for absolutely no reason I’ve been able to determine, as Lent rarely starts this early in the year – Crab-Stuffed Flounder Day. It’s also Drink Wine Day, and the day after, the 19th, is Mint Chocolate Day.

Will someone please teach Hungry Girl how to cook?
It’s a week and a half to the Super Bowl and we’re already being inundated with promotions for beverages, salty crunchy things, and stereotypical “guy food”. Also large-screen TVs which are not under the purview of this handout.
February 3rd will be Carrot Cake Day, which it may be possible to render Points-friendly if you use something other than cream cheese for the frosting. Remember – all pickles are Points-free, and the first week of February is Shape Up With Pickles Week. Also there’s more to February than heart-shaped boxes of chocolate: February will be among many other things Berry Fresh Month (please believe I did not make that name up), Fiber Focus Month, National Grapefruit Month, and National Heart Healthy Month!
January 27th: Chocolate Cake Day
January 28th: National Blueberry Pancake Day
January 29th: National Corn Chip Day
January 30th: National Croissant Day
January 31st: Brandy Alexander Day
February 1st: National Baked Alaska Day
February 2nd: Heavenly Hash Day (I have never had the pleasure of enjoying "Heavenly Hash" and can find no two webpages that agree on how to make it -- or indeed whether it is a cake, a candy, a bar cookie, or a fruit salad. Fight it out amongst yourselves.)
