I got the following note from Monica Saylor which contains an interesting proposal:
This morning, I caught a blurb on “The Early Show” about today being “National Cheese Day” (or something along those lines), which got me to wondering whether there was a “National Homemade Bread Day”. So far I haven’t found anything along those lines, so I’m suggesting a month/week/day be designated “National Homemade Bread Month/Week/Day”
I found thise site I like this site - http://www.tfdutch.com/foodh.htm - which has an entry (sometimes several) for every month/week/day of the year – but nothing for “Homemade Bread”.
I believe the way one goes about getting an unofficial “National (something) Month/Week/Day” is by simply declaring it on a website or blog. I’m going to post to my little blog, and contact a couple of manufacturers of bread makers plus flour companies. (They should be OK with it because it’s a way to boost sales).
Is there any particular month that seems better suited to bread making than others? I was thinking every day of the year should be so designated, but what about going with February? The weather’s usually less than nice during that month, plus it’s just around the corner. Also, with Valentine’s Day in mind, what better way to show you love someone than by making them a load of bread custom-tailored to their tastes?
Just a thought…

Just thought I would put it out there for anyone interested in joining a campaign to create a national homemade bread day. Going along with Monica’s idea. Maybe the day before Valentines day would be good, 13 February!
