It's "Race Your Mouse Around Your Icons" Day

According to http://www.brownielocks.com/august.html, today, August 28th, is National Race Your Mouse Around Your Icons Day.

Actually, I'm not sure it's a "national" day, but that's what I'm calling it. You can call *that* "poetic license".

So ... no food pictures today, no scrumptious, bad-for-you-but-tastes-so-good food to celebrate.

It's Monday, and with nothing better to do, I suggest you get to racin' that mouse!

Hmmm ... I wonder how many calories one can burn by doing a one-handed race? And you guys out there -- DON'T ANSWER THAT.

It's National Banana Split Day!

That's right, folks ... August 25th is National Banana Split Day in the U.S.A. I guess banana splits are right up there with mom, apple pie and baseball for a lot of folks.

Personally, I never could understand the attraction. Ice cream on a banana? Why ruin a perfectly good banana, or a perfectly good bowl of ice cream, by putting them in the same dish? And then, as if that wasn't bad enough, they go and put three different flavors of syrup on the ice cream. Three flavors that don't go together! Eeeeeuuuuuwwwww.

I guess I'm a purist when it comes to certain foods. And I never did like different foods touching (and contaminating) each other. I don't care that they all get mixed up together in my stomach -- it's my tastebuds I'm worried about!

It's National Peach Cobbler Day!

Don't you just love the taste of fresh, juicy peaches, still warm from the sunshine, fresly-picked? Me too!

And today is NATIONAL PEACH COBBLER DAY! So celebrate with a bowl of warm peach cobbler topped with homemade vanilla ice cream ... and think happy thoughts.

If you're watching your weight, like I *should* be doing, try Hungry Girl's low-cal peach cobbler substitute. It's yummy too, and there are some bonus dessert recipes with it. Oh happy day!
