in the spirit of making sure I don't forget about food and alcohol holidays, I'll post them here if people want.

 

Today, August 6, is IPA day. Strangely, I have found three different listings for this, but the beer sites mostly agree it is today.....

 

Interestingly, if you search "alcohol holidays", it mostly returns results about drinking too much, avoiding drinking, and non-alcoholic drinks. Is Google trying to tell me something?

 

I notice that August is filled with trail mix, s'more, and roasted marshmallow days......

Unofficially, Raspberries 'N Cream day.

 

Or lighthouse day, but it is hard to eat an entire lighthouse.

 

OTOH, there is a lighthouse brewing......

When should I expect delivery on this?

That one is missing IPA day.....so no f'n way.

 

I've looked on Wikipedia (either no one from other countries updates it, or no other country is as silly as us), and http://www.thenibble.com/fun/more/facts/food-holidays.asp , but that one had IPA day wrong......I just started this idea yesterday. Haven't decided what the SoT is yet.

 

 

I do love "national grab some nuts day" as a name though. Sorry I missed that one, well, sorry my wife missed that one......

I'm skipping tomorrow … zucchini day.

 

Interestingly, I just found a recipe that I won a recipe adaption contest for when I was in middle school and part of 4-H. I removed large portions of margarine and all added sugar in a brownie recipe and added zucchini that has been ground to a mush. The brownies had more of a dark chocolate flavor, but the flavor was quite intense, and you never knew there was zucchini in there from the flavor or texture. The recipe got lost for years after I made that and my mom just found it. I noticed my wife brought home some zucchini, so I may decide that brownies make a good dessert this weekend!
