Sarah J. Gim says
stuntman: because it's my birthday month, i may eat a Happy Meal every day :)
catty says
Happy birthday-month! And is Doughnut Day for real?! Damn I wish I lived in the states. Any reason to celebrate with food, especially those condoned by the government, is a winner for me!
Sarah J. Gim says
catty: it is in fact, Doughnut Day here in the US! it has something to do with the Salvation Army back in the day...of course, no one cares about that anymore. we all just want a reason to eat a doughnut without guilt :)
and you should just up and start Doughnut Day where you live :D i doubt any of these "holidays" are officially sanctioned by the government
anna says
June birthdays are the best birthdays! I'll trade you my Dry Martini Day for your Peaches & Cream Day.
Sarah J. Gim says
oh, i will take a Dry Martini for sure, but who needs an official day for that?
Monica says
Sarah,
Thank you for your blog! I've been a little down lately and reading your blog is uplifting. Your awesome! Keep up the good work.
Sarah J. Gim says
monica: you're welcome for the blog! glad that you stopped by and said hello, and thanks for the compliment :)

I knew June was going to be a good month...
Actually, I have a dry erase calendar in the kitchen, and yesterday a friend of mine did some research and filled in several of these holidays already. I'm definitely going to go add National Peaches and Cream Day, though!
amy says
HAPPY BELATED BIRTHDAY!
Sanjay Kumar aka Graham Wellington aka Juan Hernandez says
Wzzzup Sarah J. Gim
So.. uh happy birthday. I guesstimate with my keen psychic intuition that you are an Ox in the chinese calendar. Dunno could be wrong it's kind of late.

Sarah J. Gim says
brittany: i love that my birthday falls on National Peaches and Cream day. side story: i had a Peaches & Cream Barbie when I was little! or maybe my sister did and I just imagined that it was mine because all I ever got were National Geographic maps and pencils to play with.
skgwjh: thanks for the birthday wishes! um, for some reason, they don't feel warm, but f**k, i'll take what i can get.
Sanjay Kumar aka Graham Wellington aka Juan Hernandez says
They are warm SJG. They are warm like the gummi worms in my pocket.
They are warm like the seat that somebody just heated up for you while dropping their kids off at the pool.
Warm like the medium dr pepper that you left in the cup holder with the ice melted from the sun, the fizz gone, but the taste somewhat sugary.

Happy Belated Birthday and Happy Birthday Month!
Wow... it's been a while since I've checked out The Delicious Life or Twitter. Still really enjoy your writing, especially the non-recycled stuff. Will be back more frequently. (And will vote with all my email addresses for your video...)
tara says
Happy belated birthday, Sarah! I had Peaches n' Cream Barbie too; she had the best ruffled gown ever. Hope you had a great day.
Nicole Willson says
Just a head's up, but from what I've seen in Google search results, National Grilling Month is in July. Great post though. I'm using it to add some food holiday related content to the wikiHow Twitter and Facebook pages.
Kirk says
Happy Birthday Sarah! Ahem...not to imply anything in any way, but there's a Paul Simon song (which shows my age) which I'd dedicate to you.....
