September 7 brings 21 national days, led by National Salami Day, with National Beer Lovers Day and National Acorn Squash Day providing an easy reason to gather around a late-summer table.

Savory, spiced, and sliced thin, this protein-packed snack is perfect for picnics, parties, and snacking on-the-go.
Make the centerpiece a small salami board, not a project that takes over the day. Pick up one or two kinds of sliced salami, a firm cheese, a soft cheese, crackers or a baguette, grapes, and something sharp such as cornichons or mustard. Put the salami on the counter for 20 minutes before serving so its flavor opens up. If you want a little background while you arrange it, the Salami Appreciation Society is the day’s official starting point. Keep a knife, small plates, and napkins within reach, then invite a neighbor or friend for a no-fuss lunch.
Halve an acorn squash, scoop out the seeds, rub the cut sides with oil, salt, and pepper, then roast cut-side down at 400°F for 30 to 40 minutes. Turn it over for the last 10 minutes and fill the hollow with a pat of butter, maple syrup, and chopped pecans, or use cooked rice and sautéed onions for a savory version. It gives the board a warm plate without requiring a full dinner. Buy one squash for two people, or roast several halves if the table is growing.

When acorn squash is ripe, it’s time to start on those wholesome, flavorful recipes like squash soup, sauteed veggies with acorn squash, and many more.
Serve two or three small pours rather than opening everything at once. A crisp lager or pilsner works well with salty salami, while a pale ale gives the squash’s sweetness a bitter edge. For anyone skipping alcohol, chill a citrusy sparkling water and add a slice of orange or lemon. Put out water, too, and label bottles if guests are sampling. That is enough for a relaxed nod to National Beer Lovers Day, without making drinking the point of the gathering.

Beer lovers, it’s your day! Try a new beer, visit a brewery or taphouse, or gather friends together to try a wide selection of beers, from lagers to IPAs and more.
Before people head home, use the easy pace of the meal to send one sincere message. Superhuman Day is a prompt to recognize the person who has quietly handled a hard task or shown up when it mattered. A separate note, donation, or moment spent learning from World Duchenne Awareness Day can make the day feel outward-looking as well. Keep it concrete: thank someone by name, or set aside ten minutes to read a trusted organization’s information.

Parenting is a demanding job, but it's okay to take a break. Resting and practicing self-care can recharge and make you a better parent.
