HAHA! I love that this is a day.

Today is "National Kitchen Klutzes of America Day." I think all of us have at least one moment in our lives where we have utterly failed in the kitchen. So be honest, what's your most epic kitchen fail?

Oh - and just because it says 'of America' don't think I am not speaking to those of you in other parts of the world. I'd love to hear everyone's story!

I will share mine in the comments. :-)

As we move into the summer months in the US, it's time to think about Corn on the Cob! Today is "National Corn on the Cob Day."

The easiest method of cooking (besides a microwave, I guess) is to just boil them - but I have had some superb grilled corn on the cob. Does anyone have a good method for creating great grilled corn on the cob?

June 10th is "National Herbs and Spices Day."

Except for salt and pepper, what is your absolute favorite herb or spice for cooking? I think mine would be fresh basil.

On the other hand, if you had to pick one herb or spice that you would never want to taste again, what would that be? My 'ick' herb is cilantro. To me, it tastes like lemony soap. :-(

Yes! This is one that I definitely love. Today is "National Strawberry Rhubarb Pie Day." I am a huge fan of rhubarb, and I love the interplay of sweet and tart in this pie.

Does anyone have a good recipe?

June 7th is "National Chocolate Ice Cream Day." Frankly, this is far from my personal favorite in the realm of ice cream as I tend to prefer my chocolate darker and more bitter. What's your thought on chocolate ice cream? Yes or No?

Today is "National Veggie Burger Day." This is something that I have never had success making myself. Do you have a good vegetarian or vegan recipe for a veggie burger? I'd love to try it out!

June 4th is "National Cheese Day." There are so many awesome cheeses out there in the world, it's hard to pick a favorite. Having said that, do you have a favorite cheese or type of cheese?

I tend to prefer super sharp cheeses, especially those that have been aged for a long time. I am also a fan of pungent 'moldy' cheeses. I guess I prefer, in general, strong assertive kinds of flavors.

National Egg Day! This is one of the most versatile of all food items for me. There are so many things you can do with an egg both as part of a recipe or as the centerpiece of a preparation.

What are your favorite "go to" egg recipes? I personally love a great deviled egg, so if you have a favorite recipe for that please share!

June 2nd is "National Rotisserie Chicken Day." This is one of my favorite fast dinner options when I just can't be bothered to cook. I also love this suggested recipe from Jacques Pépin offering a great way to "dress up" that store-bought chicken.

We end the month of May with "National Macaroon Day." I have always been a fan of this chewy coconut treat, but I have never tried to make them!

Do you have a good recipe?

May 30th is "National Mint Julep Day." As a Southerner, I should love this cocktail - but honestly, it's far too sweet for me. Still, if you are a fan of sugary drinks, this is a good one!
