Your guide to celebrating September 7 2018
Skip to all 19 daysSeptember 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.
Set out the board before lunch
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.
Roast something substantial
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.
National Acorn Squash Day

Pour a considered drink
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.

Leave room for a thoughtful check-in
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.
