Your guide to celebrating September 29 2018
Skip to all 20 daysSeptember 29 brings 16 national days, led by National Coffee Day, with National Biscotti Day and the International Day of Awareness of Food Loss and Waste offering a practical reason to make one good coffee break count.
Make the first cup deliberate
Skip the hurried refill and choose one small change for your morning coffee. Brew a single mug in a French press, use a Moka pot for a stronger cup, or ask a local coffee shop for a bean you have not tried. Buy only the amount you will drink, then put any remaining brewed coffee in the refrigerator for an iced coffee later rather than tipping it out. A clean mug, ten unhurried minutes, and a cup you actually finish is a fine start.
Give the coffee break something to do
Pick up a package of almond biscotti at a bakery or grocery store, or make a short batch if you have about an hour to bake and cool it. Dip one end briefly in your coffee, rather than leaving the whole biscuit to collapse in the cup. Biscotti keeps well in an airtight container, so portion out a few for the day and save the rest for later breaks or a neighbor.

Turn the kitchen check into dinner
Before an afternoon grocery run, spend five minutes checking the refrigerator, freezer, and fruit bowl. Build dinner around the items that need using first: soft vegetables become a soup, cooked rice becomes fried rice, and fading herbs can be blended into a quick green sauce. Make a list only after that check, with quantities attached, so a tempting extra purchase does not become next week’s waste.
For the International Day of Awareness of Food Loss and Waste, pack leftover dinner into a labeled container before you sit down. Write the date on it and place it where you will see it at lunch tomorrow. That small habit gives the day’s coffee-and-biscotti treat a useful counterweight.

Close with tomorrow in mind
