Food and other such holidays

[Mike Sixel]

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......

S'more what?

[Craig Arko]

Every day is a food and drink holiday if you do them right. Something I really enjoyed about Europe.

I admit I've often thought about moving to Europe. Seems much more my lifestyle......

Unofficially, Raspberries 'N Cream day.

 

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

 

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

Uh, you are in Chicago, right? I might be there next month for dinner, I'll call you.

Mr. Mike, is this what you're going by?

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.

Question: What is the best root beer?

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!

Usually smaller brands have a ton more flavor, but on the more national brands, I'd say that for floats, A&W is best, for drinking alone, I prefer Barq's.

Tomorrow is rice pudding day. In August?

[Craig Arko]

This should be every day. In fact, Dick and Bert should do this the remainder of the season.

My calendar says IPA day again, not sure if that's a mistake but I can live with it.

[USAFChief]

Heaven was an original A&W root beer, from a keg, in that frosty glass mug.

We must have the same calendar friend. I'll buy the same brand for 2016.

Served to you in your car on one of those trays that hung on your window, along with some tasty onion rings.

Those calendars are gold. Mind you it does get tiring circling every single day.
