National Cookie Day. Read that again: National. Cookie. Day. In honor: A photo of our favorite cookie-loving children's character, the better to inspire the posting of cookie pictures in the comments. (A request: Peanut Blossoms!) See you Monday. [The Nibble]A ForkYour Face In It -

Superfudge! Otherwise known as the title of a Judy Blume book or, the fancy version of a popular supermarket candy given its due thanks to National Peanut Butter Fudge Day. Dig in - see you Monday. [Nibble] More » -

November 13 is National Indian Pudding Day, called the nation's "ugliest, yet great tasting, bi-cultural culinary treat." John Adams liked it; but it apparently it's not Indian, it's British; Native Americans didn't have molasses. Oy. Happy Friday. [The Nibble, Slashfood] -

It's National Nachos Day. Fun fact: Nachos were invented in 1943 and there's an "original recipe" which includes real cheddar (screw canned crap) and jalapeños. I'm actually off to order some (with sour cream, natch); see you Monday! [The Nibble] -

It's National Candy Corn Day, the worst (in my estimation) of the Halloween treats. Faves: Sugar Daddies, Dum-Dums, Pixie Stix. Last costume worn: George Bush. (Fake pubes were involved.) Spill your fave sweets, costumes? See you Monday. [The Nibble] -

Today: National Canning Day. Unrelated: those experiencing continued problems with the new site design email me directly with descriptions - and don't forget your computer type/OS/browser. I'm still putting a FAQ together and promise it will be ready on Monday. -

This is the usual time and place of the Friday open thread. But, considering we have the new (and always-open) groupthink page, is it "done" for good? Desired? Talk amongst yourselves, let us know your thoughts. Oh, and happy weekend. -

"Moldy Cheese Day"? Could there be three worse words strung together in a single sentence? Probably! (Suggestions, below, or, in this thread.) See y'all Monday! [The Nibble] -

Today's "National Crab Meat Newburg Day". Thing is, I don't know what that is, and don't much care. So I'm making this another special food day - gnocchi, it's what's for dinner! - you're welcome to do the same. -

OMFG: Today is National cheeseburger day. I will gladly pay you next Tuesday if you hook me up right now. Discuss that and more, in the comments. See you Monday, guys! [The Nibble] -

Note to self: Don't search for image of "hot cross buns" with SafeSearch disabled. Related: Today's National Hot Cross Bun Day, a treat popular in Britain/former colonies, and immortalized in a well-known nursery rhyme. Happy snacking; see you Monday. [Nibble] -

Sweet! It's National Macadamia Nut Day. Even sweeter: Our three day weekend. Hortense, of course, will be on weekend duty, and she will also provide a Sunday open thread for those who want company/conversation on Monday. See you then. -

Yum. Today is National Cherry Turnover Day, and I'll admit, that sounds really good right about now. Keep it hot and, er, fruity, in the comments, guys. See you Monday. [The Nibble] -

Ladies, I forgot about the open thread until just now. Quick version: It's National Pecan Torte Day, and my brain is a mess. (Those are, however, unrelated.) Sorry! [The Nibble] -

…Or maybe a spoon? Today's National Frozen Custard Day, and the history books credit Thomas Carvellus with launching the soft-serve market by selling from a truck, and later a store (Carvel!). Tasty treats and other stuff, below. [The Nibble] -

"Jump For Jellybeans" Day? Yeah, I have no idea. Does it refer to these? High-impact exercise combined with gelatinous sugared candies? (I like Strawberry Daiquiri, personally.) Your guesses, and the usual stuff, in the comments. See you Monday. [The Nibble] -

Two things. 1. I wasn't able to craft a follow-up post about the comment system because of workload. (Monday, promise.) Two: It's National Peach Ice Cream Day. Do you start on the outside and work your way in? [The Nibble]ForkSpoon In It
