FOOD FOR THE MONTH
Name a food, any food, and there's probably a month set aside to celebrate it. October has its fair share of such designations - including (in a coincidence of unfortunate timing) National Spinach Lovers Month. If you want to celebrate it but are still nervous about eating fresh bagged spinach, grab a bunch of fresh Colorado spinach or a box of frozen spinach. Or there are plenty of other ways eat up a month's worth of starring foods or support some worthy culinary organizations. Here's a list of other October celebrations to whet your appetite.
