December 22nd
National Date Nut Bread Day (Yummmmmmm)
Enjoy a tasty bread for the holidays. It's the perfect bread for the
season. It contains nuts and sugar, but is not heavy on the sugar. Date nut
bread is quite popular. You can make it yourself, or buy some at the bakery. We
suggest a couple of loafs. In our house, a single loaf does not last long.
There is some question as to the correct date for this special day. A
survey of the net, resulted in roughly half of the references for this day
claiming it is on September 8th. In our survey, a very slight majority record
this special day on December 8. We go with the majority for two reasons: First,
it is the majority. Second, this day fits well in the holiday season. Date Nut
Bread is popular for the holidays.
Get your fill of Date Nut Bread today. After all, that's what this day is
for.
