Your guide to celebrating October 9 2018
Skip to all 12 daysOctober 9 is built for a kitchen-table gathering where breakfast gets crafty and dinner comes with crisp crusts, bold cheese and a few wonderfully odd theories.
Begin with World Egg Day and make scrambled eggs for breakfast. Later, decorate a few eggs at the table, an easy little project that gives everyone something to do while the dinner plans take shape.
The main event is International Beer and Pizza Day. Invite some friends over and build pizzas on scratch or ready-made crusts, with each person choosing the toppings for a corner or a whole pie. Pair a veggie pizza with a pale ale or Pilsner, or pour a stout or porter alongside a meatier version. The official celebration site is there if you want to keep exploring the pints-and-slices combination.
International Beer and Pizza Day
Pairing a frothy brew with a slice of heaven, creating a dynamic duet of refreshment and satisfaction that’s hard to resist.
Before the pizzas disappear, set out a small taste test for National Moldy Cheese Day. Try an aged blue cheese or another mold-ripened variety that is new to you. This is the day to be brave about a funky-looking bite, then decide whether it earns a return visit.
National Moldy Cheese Day
It may sound gross, but many kinds of moldy cheese are actually a delicious delicacy. Be brave and try a sampling of long-aged, moldy, flavorful cheese.
Keep everyone at the table for Curious Events Day. Ask each guest to bring one historical mystery or everyday puzzle for the group to investigate. Disappearing socks are fair game. Compare theories, follow the funniest lead down a rabbit hole, and see whether anyone can defend an explanation between bites.
Curious Events Day
Dig your teeth into whatever makes you curious, whether it’s the world’s greatest mysteries of history, or where missing socks could possibly go.
By the end, October 9 may leave you with painted eggs, a new cheese opinion and several unsupported claims about the laundry basket.
