Your guide to celebrating September 5 2021
Skip to all 10 daysSeptember 5 brings 14 national days, led by International Bacon Day, with National Cheese Pizza Day, World Samosa Day, and a reason to give through International Day of Charity.
Make breakfast worth sitting down for
Give bacon the center of the plate instead of treating it as a side. Cook a small batch slowly until crisp, then use it in a BLT-style sandwich with good tomatoes and lettuce, or fold chopped pieces into scrambled eggs. For a sweeter edge, brush a few slices with maple syrup and brown sugar during the last few minutes of cooking; use cracked pepper or a pinch of cayenne on the rest. Put the two versions on a platter so everyone gets a favorite.
Turn lunch into a shared table
Order a plain cheese pizza or bake one at home, then keep the meal relaxed: cut it into small squares, set out a simple salad, and invite one or two people to eat with you. A delivery pizza takes the pressure off; a refrigerated dough and shredded mozzarella make a home version in about 25 minutes. Save two slices for someone who could use lunch, or add a grocery-store gift card to a donation you already make. That small, concrete gesture gives the day’s food plan some purpose.
National Cheese Pizza Day
When it comes to satisfying your pizza cravings, nothing hits the spot quite like a warm, gooey slice of cheesy goodness.

Give the generous part of the day a clear limit and a clear destination. Set aside an amount you won’t miss, even five dollars, and send it to a local food pantry, mutual-aid group, or another cause whose work you know. If money is tight, offer a practical hour instead: sort a cupboard for unopened shelf-stable food and bring it to a nearby collection point. Tell a friend what you chose, then ask them to pick their own action rather than making the meal a fundraiser.
International Day of Charity
Any charitable donation, big or small, money or time, can go a long way to helping solve some of the world’s worst problems, such as child hunger or the environment.

Finish with a snack people can pass around
Pick up a dozen samosas from an Indian restaurant or grocery hot counter, and serve them while they are still warm with mint chutney or tamarind sauce. They also work from the freezer, usually after 15 to 20 minutes in a hot oven or air fryer. Split a few open so guests can see the filling, then pair the crisp pastry with cold drinks and the leftover pizza. It’s an easy excuse to linger at the table without committing anyone to a formal dinner.
