August 3rd is Grab Some Nuts Day

While it seems the rest of the foodie world is celebrating National Watermelon Day, a lesser known holiday is being shunned. Today is also "Grab Some Nuts Day". Go ahead, giggle. I did. When it comes to celebrating obscure holidays, a healthy sense of humor is a must. So, how exactly does someone celebrate Grab Some Nuts Day? Well, I highly recommend keeping it G-rated, otherwise it may turn into "Beg For Bail Money Day". You may also want to check out this tempting collection of nutty recipes. The next step?
