Set the diets aside and poke another notch or two in your belt, because May isn’t pulling any punches when it comes to sweet and savory holiday regrets. From National Hoagie Day and National Pizza Party Day to the holidays that really spell it out for you, like International No Diet Day and National Eat What You Want Day, we’re all looking forward to an excuse to let our stomachs hang low this month. For those of you who plan on partaking, let’s take a look at the best junk-food-related holidays this month and how to celebrate them! National Apple Pie Day Monday, May 13 Gather your friends and family around the table and dust off Grandma’s old recipes, because it’s time to treat yourself to the most American thing since, well, itself. National Apple Pie Day is a great opportunity to spend quality time with your loved
ones while baking the most traditional American dessert. Make the process a game by pairing off into teams for a bake-off; you can even pit the kids against the adults — with a little supervision of course. If you’re feeling a little lazy, throw an apple pie potluck and watch your store-bought delight steal the show as your audience praises your craftsmanship and attention to detail — just how Sara Lee taught you. National Hamburger Day Tuesday, May 28 As if one day wasn’t enough, it turns out that the entire month of May is recognized as National Hamburger Month! Meat lovers rejoice as patties of heavenly beef are passed around the table for all to enjoy. There’s no shortage of ways to celebrate this patriotic pastime. From grilling out with the neighbors to making sliders for your new love
interest, there’s a little something for everyone, especially considering the advances we’ve made in burger technology in recent years. If meat isn’t your thing, throw a veggie or tofu burger on the grill and season it to mouth-watering perfection. We won’t tell the beef purists if you don’t.
Eat up, everybody. Happy holidays.
Monthly Question and Answer Personal Injury — In the Know
Question: I’m mad. My car needs to be repaired. The other person caused the accident, and I can’t get his insurance company to fix my car. They aren’t being fair. What are my options? Answer: You don’t have to deal with the other driver’s insurance company to fix your car. If you have collision coverage, you might be better off dealing with your own insurance company. Your insurance is required
to deal with you fairly and in good faith. Your collision coverage is often the fastest way to get your car repaired. You can try to work with the other driver’s insurance company, but if it is unreasonable or unresponsive, use your own insurance. Unfortunately, you may find that the at-fault driver’s insurance company is trying to save money on your property damage claim — at your expense. Here’s the key point: If you use your insurance company for payment of property damage, you will have to pay your deductible, but your insurance company will go after the at-fault driver’s insurance company to recover what your company paid, along with your deductible. Your company will then reimburse you for the deductible you paid. An added benefit to you is you won’t have to deal with an adjuster or company that doesn’t care about you.
