Jill over at Cookies in Heaven posted last week about all the incredible food related holidays in January. Did you know that there is a food related holiday for almost every day of the year? Yep! If you love Milk, just down a glass today in celebration of Milk Day. Artichokes? March 16th is your day to celebrate National Artichoke day. September… you can celebrate national Biscuit Month and enjoy a nice glass of rum punch on September 20th.
I love the idea of celebrations. In fact, over at 43 Things, one of my goals is to really celebrate the special days and holidays in 2007. I have decided to try and celebrate many of these special food holiday’s myself. I’ve taken the list, added the info to my calendar and in some small way I’m going to try to honor as many of these yummy food related holiday’s as I can. I think my kids would have a ball with this. Should be fun times. Want to join me?
Jill recently posted the source of her list – Nibble.com. Head on over and check out the list yourself. If you decide that you need more celebrating in your life, what better way to do it then by celebrating with food and fun?
One month ago today I dished about the Coolest Cupcake Courier
Over at our family blog, I dished about my really, really Bad Day
Rum punch on my birthday?! Chocolate truffles or strawberry shortcake, sure, but rum punch? Well, I’ll probably need to take up drinking and drink that rum punch on my birthdays as I age (cry–I don’t want gray hairs and wrinkles–unless it makes me look really spiffy, but I don’t see that happening!)!
🙂
P.S. I vote for jumbo-milkshakes to be celebrated on Jacob’s birthday. 🙂
Fun. I will definitely do some of these.
"National Chip and Dip Day" is my birthday – hee hee. i LOVE potato chips and french onion dip. not good for my waistline though.
Oooo this is fun! I think I’ll check out the holidays and try to do something related to them. Thanks for the info.
Man…everyone is doin’ the 43 things!
I like it and I’m considering doing a one-off blogging event for one of the days…
Darnit. Wouldn’t you know that I MISSED National Bloody Mary Day? 🙁 I will compensate by partying hard for National Peanut Butter Day on Jan. 24th. What a cool list!!!
EVERY day should be a celebration! What better way to name a food to enhance the experience.
I’m afraid if it were up to me, there would be 365 days of chocolate celebrations!
Wow! Had no idea that there were so many days with a specific food (or foods) connected to them. And then each month has multiples. January is National Oatmeal Month. How appropriate. Thanks for the tip.
