National Peanut Butter Fudge Day: More
Tomorrow's food holiday will be 'National Peanut Butter Fudge Day'.
[The Hankster says] Chocolate and peanut butter. A marriage made in culinary heaven. As mentioned before, fudge was, before the confection, a word that expressed disbelief or annoyance. It was a mild expletive, of sorts. The use, to describe candy, came one day when a chef, over-cooked some caramel. Fudge was his first utterance at the mistake. We have no record of what he said, when the money came rolling in.
We have two related action awareness days tomorrow. 'Great American Smokeout' and 'Collegiate Smokeout' Both celebrated on the third Thursday in November.
Four other awareness days are 'African Industrialization Day', 'Universal Children's Day' (A UN recognition day), 'World Philosophy Day (A UNESCO day) and 'Stop Pressure Ulcer Day'.
Here is another one you need to decide on. Tomorrow will be 'Globally Organized Hug a Runner Day'.
[The Hankster says] It is impossible to be politically correct these days. Just take a minute, before you choose your target. I would stick with family members and friends only.
Tomorrow is also 'National Absurdity Day' and 'Use Less Stuff Day (The Thursday before Thanksgiving).
[The Hankster says' Wait a minute. I have had to caution you before, about this sort of thing. This is not, I repeat, not a day on which to make comments about the quality or even the necessity of my posts, to your daily life.
1Henry David Thoreau once said ;As if you could kill time without injuring eternity.'.

November origin (from Wikipedia): 'November is the eleventh month of the year in the Julian and Gregorian
Calendars and one of four months with the length of 30 days. November was
the ninth month of the ancient Roman calendar. November retained its name
(from the Latin novem meaning 'nine') when January and February were added
to the Roman calendar.
'
'November is a month of spring in the Southern Hemisphere and autumn in
the Northern Hemisphere. Therefore, November in the Southern Hemisphere
is the seasonal equivalent of May in the Northern Hemisphere and vice
