July is…<\/h2>\n

Around here, it’s sunny and hot, with humidity punctuated by thunderstorms and occasional fireworks. One of the biggest holidays of the year on the US calendar kicks off the month — although Independence Day on a Sunday means we’re observing (aka celebrating aka taking a day off!) July Fourth on July Fifth!<\/p>\n

July is delicious<\/strong><\/h2>\n

While July includes National Personal Chef’s Day (16), you don’t need to get fancy! Sure, there’s Caviar Day (18), but it’s also the perfect time for a barbeque!\u00a0 This Picnic Month (and Grilling Month!), what’s on your plate? It’s Hot Dog Month (Hot Dog Day is the 21st), but you might also enjoy Fried Clams Day (3), Barbecued Spareribs Day (4), Fried Chicken Day (6), Macaroni Day (7), French Fry Day (13), Chicken Wing Day (29), and Chili Dog Day (29).<\/p>\n

June is refreshing\u00a0<\/strong><\/h2>\n

With all that tasty picnic food, with all those beach days and steamy nights, you’re going to need to cool off. Celebrate National Refreshment Day on July 22, then make room for Pina Colada Day (1o), Mojito Day (11),\u00a0 Strawberry Rhubarb Wine Day (17), and Daiquiri Day (19).<\/p>\n
