National Pretzel Day – April 26th!
It came to our attention this week that we missed National Cherry Cheesecake Day – April 23rd. We have absolutely no
idea how this happened. You’d think if there was one thing you could count on it would be that we’d be on top of this.
Regrettably, no. And with the week we’ve had, cheesecake would have been very welcome. We had sick kids and hideous employers and all kinds of wretchedness that could have been alleviated a great deal by cherry cheesecake. We had to make an emergency bakery run for cookies on Tuesday.
We’d really like to promise that we won’t miss anything this important again, but it’s highly likely that we’ll get distracted by something shiny and miss Macaroon Day (May 31st) or National Ice Cream Sandwich Day (August 2nd). We found a cheat sheet.
We’ll do our best. We know what’s important.
Just getting caught up on all of April’s posts and into May here…. I was absent for over a month. I was just so darned busy in early April, then it all got away from me.
Anyway, if Jan. 6 is national bean day, I don’t think I’ll want to be around people on Jan. 7th! Phew!
Wouldn’t you think National Cherry Month would be in a month that you can actually BUY cherries, as opposed to the dead of winter when they are $89 a pound because they’re imported from Chile?
As for May 31st, National Macaroon Day, it is my opinion that the best macaroons in Tucson are to be had at the little French bakery next door to Sunflower Market on Broadway at Pantano. They are scrumptious, and so much better than ANY others I’ve ever had practically anywhere.
As for June 22nd, National Eclair Day, I am all for it!! The only problem is, the best eclairs I’ve EVER had are at the Home Bakery (a Swedish bakery) in Astoria, Oregon. Well, I’ve been wanting to visit my brother and sister-in-law in Portland….
