International Beer & Pizza Day ~ Oct.9, 2025

[Kaneohegirlinaz]

Well, not exactly Beer & Pizza here in my Casa in Cowboyville Arizona, but baseball is on and I needed to find something quick and easy.

So snacks and Hoagies it is!

Went out to dinner at a seafood restaurant with a church group. Had fried gulf shrimp, French fries, green beans, and hush puppies.

Fresh summer rolls, pic before rolling.

Rice paper, asian roast pork, cucumbers, carrots rice noodles, various lettuces, herbs. Roll it up burrito style.

Sauces were nuoc cham or peanut sauce.

After the huge repeat of last night's supper for my lunch... had one tiny salted caramel and one chocolate mint chip cookie. I'm good!

A bunch of odd available things. A bowl of steamed kale vinegar/salt. Baked whole grain bread with tofu/lemon/garlic, salt basil and oregano. 9 grain flakes w/peaches and plums, nutmeg cinnamon, flax/chia/wgerm. That should hold me for a while.

I had lunch at my favorite TexMex restaurant in Terminal A at Houston Intercontinental Airport. Cadillac Mexican Kitchen and Tequila Bar. As usual, I had their cheese and onion enchiladas, with seasoned rice and refried pinto beans.

I was stuffed, so dinner was just some truffle fries at the hotel.

I had some of the red lentil soup I made yesterday. I really like that soup. Then, I had a veggie burger on a Khorasan wheat (Kamut™) bun. It tasted okay, but I didn't like the very mushy texture. I guess I will give up on veggie burgers. I had some of the coleslaw I made a few days ago.

Picture of the lentil soup I had yesterday. Today there was no greenery on the soup, just the feta.



Picture of the burger I didn't really like.

(I adore white pepper and hot English mustard, so they are my own garnish here )

Who comes up with these “international days”?

Who comes up with these “international days”?

I think they are mostly a marketing gimmick. I think the "national days" are too.

 

[dragnlaw]

Type in the question of "today is international what day" and you will get them listed. It is usually a day celebrated by various groups for various reasons.
Today, (for example October 10), are the celebrated national days of Angel Food Cake Day, Cake Decorating Day, Handbag Day, and Walk to a Park Day, as well as National Metric Day. These are recognized by the National Day Calendar.
choose which ever one strikes your fancy!

No pizza here, and no beer - I don't like beer- just a portion of a potato pie my mum made.

 

[Andy M.]

Neither of us had much energy so we agreed on hot dogs and baked beans. I had my dogs with brown mustard and sauerkraut.

Baked cheese ravioli with meatballs and spicy Italian sausage in vodka sauce. Caesar salad.

Found this yesterday at Total Wine & More ... who knew that here in Cowboyville Arizona I could get a beer from Hawaii ... I stand corrected as I look again at this photo, IT'S FROM COLORADO!!!

I had pretty good bowl of chicken and andouille sausage gumbo last night at the hotel restaurant. It was stupid expensive, but it was as good as my own... almost.

I ate at the bar, and met some fun people... mostly oil company people, so I could talk their language. Big expense accounts. When I got my tab, it looked way too low. The bartender told me they picked up my tab before they left, so only owed what I bought after they left.
