Food & Drink Holidays for May

Not that you NEED a reason to go out for BBQ or have another Paloma, but here are some extra reasons to keep the USA #1...in obesity.

May is National BBQ Month, National Beef Month AND National Hamburger Month. And, no, GRILLING a burger is NOT the same as BBQ, so you can't triple dip unless you put some smoked brisket or pulled pork ON your burger!

It's also National Asparagus Month if that's you thing...I'll try not to hold it against you.

Days of note (besides the obvious Cinco de Drinco):

2nd - National Truffles Day.
8th - National Empanada Day. While you're at it, double dip with a MexiCoke as it's also 'Have a Coke Day'
10th - National Shrimp Day.
13th - National Apple Pie Day.
14th - Buttermilk Biscuit Day.
16th - National Coffee Day. As if The Hottie needs an excuse to head to Blue Bottle...
25th - National Wine Day. As if The Hottie needs an excuse to drink more wine...
26th - National Blueberry Cheesecake Day. No, I do not make these up...they ACTUALLY exist.
28th - National Brisket Day.
30th - National Mint Julep Day. Why this doesn't coincide w/The Kentucky Derby, IDK.
31st - National Macaroon Day.

Also of note, the 13-19 of May is American Craft Beer Week. You're welcome.
