Sure, we can't help but think of heavy stockpots simmering with stews and deep dark caramelized root vegetables braising in wine-stained casseroles when the month of October hits. It's autumn, right?Ah, but October is also National Breast Cancer Awareness month, and to show your support for the cause, think pink! Sure, we know all about wearing the little looped pink ribbon, but you can go even further to show your support in the kitchen. We've already started the morning with the Sip for the Cure line of teas from the Republic of Tea, and as we come across more of them, we'll point you to cool, pretty, delicious pink things that are on sale specifically to support breast cancer research and awareness.
These pots and pans are covered with pink porcelain enamel and are available from Neiman Marcus for $140 for the set. Neiman Marcus has a whole area of their online Home catalog dedicated to the pink ribbon products, too.
May is National BBQ Month and National Hamburger Month
Cupcakes, not for dessert (unless beef is your idea of a treat)
Because eating French Fries in the car is so tough

I'm not sure what to think of the pink pans for cancer research, as they're coated with Teflon which may or may not cause cancer. The jury's still out on that one.

Personally I object to the pinkification of all things in the name of breast cancer. The ribbon was fine, the t-shirts: fine. But a mixer? Why not just send $25 directly to the fund instead of a fraction of that to get a pan of a putrid color? The only thing all things pink is good for is: building awareness. Paint the Brooklyn Bridge pink for a month--that'll get noticed. My kitchenware...not so much.

My mom's a breast cancer survivor and stuff like this makes us laugh and then we teease her that if she acts cranky, all Santa will bring her for Christmas is pink breast cancer stuff!
Yes, it's for a good cause, but some of it aesthetically makes us (and especially my earthtones-loving Mom) say eech!

I support breast cancer month, but I'm not entirely sure that coloring everything in pink won't be going overboard. I mean, it's like you're advocating to turn everything pink for a month, and then what? I'm not sure even the breast cancer patients would like it so much... We can't stay pink forever.
