Coffee Break with Liz and Kate

Bring out the lemons, pucker up, and get those saliva glands rolling on Oct. 24 as we celebrate the ever-popular Sourest Day.  Sounds to me like someone is taking revenge on Sweetest Day, but that’s neither here nor there.

Regardless of this holiday’s history (because I couldn’t find a history…) I suggest taking a look at a slew of sour candies that can be found at this  store.

Cranky Co-Workers Day follows on Oct. 27. You’ll be cranky, too, if you fail to celebrate Sourest Day…

Quite frankly, the holidays seem to go downhill quickly as we approach Halloween, Kate’s second-favorite holiday of the year. We’ve got National Chocolates Day on Oct. 28, and National Candy Corn Day on Oct. 30 (yawn). On the 31st, we have National Caramel Apple Day giving Halloween a run for its money.

But here’s one that may be worth exploring: Haunted Refrigerator Night. This one lands on Oct. 30, and, in my view, stands to wipe National Candy Corn Day off the map if we play our cards right.

There are two ways you can go at this holiday. You could always rig the fridg with spiders or skeletons and the like, invoking instant shock to all who dare open the door.

Or you could simply refuse to clean your refrigerator out between now and then. Let’s remember this about a month beforehand next year, for best effect. If you store the right things for long enough, you won’t need to rig the door. The sight (and smell) of rotten, moldy food will do the job for you!

Until next week, get your party on!
