Peach Pie Day
It's August 24th and that means its National Peach Pie Day. So today you have an excuse to bake yourself a crusty peach pie right.
My mother was forever baking pies when I was growing up but every time she gathered a basket of peaches from our peach trees, she always made a peach cobbler instead of a peach pie. Her second choice was always fried peach pies. But I guess anyway you can get a sweet dessert made with peaches is fantastic.
I hope everyone enjoys National Peach Pie Day by baking a pie.

International Left Handers Day!
It's August 13th and that means it's International Left Handers Day! I'm a lefty myself and I'm happy to know there is a day especially for us left handers. From what I've been reading, left handers are from seven to ten percent of the world's population.
What is this holiday for anyway?
It is meant to promote awareness of the inconveniences facing left-handers in a predominantly right-handed world and since I'm a lefty myself I can witness to the fact that finding items that accommodate a left handed person is hard to find.
So for all you left handers.... today is your day so A very Happy Left Handers Day to you from me Pam :)
Smores Day!
It's August 10th and that means it's Smores Day everyone!
I love having this chocolate treat when melted over a fire outside. Somehow it tastes better to me when eaten fireside. I actually like to eat smores in the winter time when it's cold outside so it's a bit hard to eat it on a hot August day like today. That makes me wonder why this day was picked to represent National Smores Day when I think they are mostly eaten in the winter time? But what the heck, do it anyway and enjoy this sweet treat holiday.

July is all about picnics for those of us who live in the northern hemisphere. That must be why there are so many food holidays that relate to outdoor eating. Holidays like National Picnic Month. A great pass time is eating nice cold ice cream outside as well and that's why we the month of July is National Ice Cream Month. There's a long list of ice cream holidays in our calendar and the National Ice Cream page will give you a list of all of them. Berries are very popular during this month because it's the growing season for many of them. That explains why we have a lot of National berry holidays during the month of July as well. And ohhhh my goodiness , we can not leave out National Hot Dog month and pickle month! We eat more hot dogs and pickles during this month than any other time of the year. Wow! Who would of guessed. I think this has to do with the July 4th holiday don't you?
