Another Plug for October

October 14th is the Sweetest Day. Not as magnificent as the fact that it is National Doughnut Month, but pretty cool, none-the-less.


"Everyone who loves candy should make it party of his general food consumption.--Let candy be made part of the meal. Let it be taken immediately at the close of the meal as a part of the dessert. Then it does you no harm." (click on picture for full article)

Seems that the Sweetest Day of the Year came into being in 1921 when a candy company employee helped deliver sweets to orphans, shut-ins and other down-on-their-luck folk. It devolved, as so many things do, into a day to buy a box of candy for the person who will be most annoyed if you don't and was later also advertised, more honestly, as Candy Day. But then, tell me who doesn't need a Candy Day?
