foodimentary.com

I was thinking to myself the other day, what holidays besides Thanksgiving are celebrated in November? It seems like everyone goes from Halloween to Christmas, but maybe if they knew that there are some unique holidays to celebrate in November, they wouldn't skip right to Christmas. Here are 8 holidays that you can celebrate in November besides Thanksgiving:

1. Bittersweet Chocolate with Almonds Day

This oddly specific holiday is celebrated on November 7, so go grab your favorite bittersweet chocolate with almonds and enjoy the day! Almonds are not only good for you, but so is a little chocolate!

2. National Pizza with the Works Except Anchovies Day

National Pizza with the Works Except Anchovies Day is celebrated on November 12, for those who like everything on their pizza except the salty fish known as anchovies.

3. National Clean Out Your Refrigerator Day

Just in time for Thanksgiving, National Clean Out Your Refrigerator Day is celebrated on November 15. Always making up excuses to clean out your refrigerator? Well now there's no excuse for it on November 15, make room for all your Thanksgiving leftovers!

4. National Button Day

Did you know that November 16 is National Button Day? Well it sure is. Created back in 1938, this day is to celebrate button collecting as a hobby.

5. National Take A Hike Day

Looking to get out an go on an adventure? Well November 17 is a great day to do it. It's National Take A Hike Day, so lace up your hiking boots and get some fresh air!

7. National Flossing Day

November 25 is a great day to take extra care of your teeth. National Flossing Day reminds us to keep in mind how important dental health is. Floss away this November 25 and keep your teeth in shape.

8. National Stay Home Because You're Well Day

Feeling like you're going to have a good day, but you have to go to work? Well November 30 is the day to stay home, even though you're feeling well. Have a day to relax and do what you like.

Summer is hot and humid, and it's almost like summer was made specifically to drink the refreshing, cold, crisp wonderful, delicious, nutritious nectar of the gods. Which is none other than beer; wonderful cold beer. With summer playing peek-a-boo around the corner while we finish up this semester, it's time to discuss the only important part of summer. And if you haven't already guessed, it's beer. There are few things I take more seriously than my beer, in order are: sports... and beer. Here are my favorite summer brews:

New England Summers Are The BEST Summers

Why you should spend your next summer in New England.

Three years ago, I chose to attend college in Philadelphia, approximately 360 miles away from my small town in New Hampshire. I have learned many valuable lessons away from home, and have thoroughly enjoyed my time spent in Pennsylvania. One thing that my experience has taught me, however, is that it is absolutely impossible to beat a New England summer.

You cannot beat the beach. Believe it or not (which many people may not), New England has a long and beautiful coastline. Most of my high school summers were spent sitting on the Wall at Hampton Beach, getting sunburnt and eating Acai bowls from The Secret Spot. The Wall was the place to be both during the day and at night. We begin our days there with a KB's bagel and coffee, and end them with pizza and ice cream. It’s not a New England summer without that 4 p.m. text from someone, “Who wants to meet at the Wall tonight?” Nighttime is for Tripoli’s Pizza, the sound of waves, and wishes on shooting stars. Wednesday nights are especially important, as those are the nights that Hampton Beach sets off the weekly firework display.

24. “If you’re gonna be somebody’s heartbreak, somebody’s mistake, if you’re gonna be somebody’s first time, somebody’s last time, be mine.”

25. “Don’t be afraid to take the road less traveled on.”

Everything Bruce says in his classic rock songs.
