September 29, 2013: International Coffee Day is not only a day to celebrate the bitter beverage, but it’s also become a day to promote fair trade coffee. Odds are, someplace near you is giving out a free cup. I have lots of coffee beans in my house, due to Scott’s new hobby of grinding his own beans, but I don’t drink it myself. I’m a tea girl.

In other holiday news, apparently, if you eat a roast goose on Happy Goose Day, you’ll have luck for the next year. Which doesn’t seem particularly lucky for the goose. And probably wouldn’t make the goose happy, either. This one should really be called Lucky Roast Goose Meal Day or something.
