And...

Father-in-law Day (get him a cheesecake)

Mutt Day (dogs are dogs)

Avocado Day (not guac day, eat it sliced or scooped but not mashed today)

Raspberry Cake Day (I would guess the raspberries are stealing the thunder of some sugar, flour and other stuff)

New month, let's see what the events are for August (a month with no holidays)

Peach Month (yet Peach Day was months ago)

And...

Ice Cream Sandwich Day ( so our first sandwich in "sandwich Month" is made of Ice cream)

Mustard Day (I prefer brown, less nasty stains)

Grab Some Nuts Day (the tree kind! The tree kind! No groping)

American Family Day (as it is a National Holiday, couldn't it just be "family day"?)

Sisters Day (because they are certainly NOT family)

And...

Raspberries N' Cream Day (the "N" is the weird part for me.)

Happiness Happens Day (I guess it is inevitable no matter how grouchy you may be)

Dollar Day (an extra dollar could make one happy... An extra 100 would do better but take what you can get)

Frozen Custard Day (it defines itself)

And...

Sneak Some Zucchini on to Your Neighbors Front Porch Day (if you don't understand why, you have obviously never planted Zucchini)

this was every day after the first one was harvestable where i grew up. the funniest was when my aunt took us out to drop some off down the road, and came back to find twice as much on our own porch.

I don't get it. Is this some kind of midwestern joke? Cause, to be honest, I'd just eat the zucchini.

Mark.. Imagine that you planted 8 zucchini plants. Then i want you to imagine that 4 months later, you had alread harvested 50+ full size zucchini from them, and had more growing on them. 2 weeks later, you have eaten zucchini every single meal for a month, and still have more growing. and have 100+ zucchini sitting on every available counter space in your kitchen and dining room.

Oh, I just thought it was some mid-western "I'm-trying-to-be-friendly-but-it's-really-just-passive-aggressive" kind of thing.

And besides, you underestimate how much I love zucchini

Ok, then, no more growing tomatoes, now we switch to zucchini for Mark. If zucchini grows so well, and I do like the flowers when they are in bloom, just like pumpkin flowers, but if they are easier to grow than tomatoes, I'll have to get some of them next year instead of the tomatoes, which are not doing well this year.

(And it's just that I like to grow something with flowers, whether I eat it or not, seeing it in flower is nice.)

However many zucchini plants you think you need cut that number in half and then plant half of that number.

I like it too but when your grandpa decides to plant it the first time and over does it, all 25 of the kids and grandkids literally have it on the plate for every meal in August and September. (As well as all his neighbors, your neighbors and anybody driving slow with an open window)

When I was 10 I could receive as many ways to eat zucchini as Bubba had ways to cook shrimp.

Rice Pudding Day (why ruin good :D rice?)

Veep Day (you know, the guy nobody cares about)

And...

Book Lovers Day (I like them more in concept than execution these days)

Connecticut Day (the number 2 most misspelled state)

Lazy Day (ah, what's the point of saying anything)

S'mores Day (crackers and other stuff)

Bowling Day (it's not even bowling season yet. But league meetings are underway)

Shapewear Day (because you were lazy)

Garage Sale Day (not a good spot to buy shapewear but bowling balls will be plentiful)

Presidential Joke Day (but EVERY day is Children's Day)

Raspberry Bombe Day (sounds like a Montaigne terrorist plot to me)

Sons and Daughters Day (I gotta start reading the whole list before posting, it IS Children's Day)

And...

Spirit of '45 Day (1945? 1845? 1645? I need specifics. Break out some Andrews Sisters and go kiss a nurse or sailor in Times Square)

Julienne Fries Day (I have never heard anyone refer to a Fry by this cut. Eaten plenty of them, though)

Vinyl Records Day (are now disporportionately more expensive than they were in '80)

And...

Middle Child Day (Mom really does love you just as much as her favorites)

Prosecco Day (maybe you want that with...)

Filet Mignon Day (too small and too tender for my tastes)

And...

Left Handers Day (between this and middle child day, it is shaping into imagined slights week)
