Not that long ago, we hosted a family gathering at our home. Hubby and I did a little shopping at Costco for the event. Where else can you buy a 5-pound bag of corn tortilla chips for 2 bucks? Which also meant I needed to come up with ways to use all those chips.
Continue reading “A Tuesday with Crunch”What Is Candlemas?
Candlemas is a feast day or celebration within the Catholic Faith that is very much rooted in Jewish Traditions. So much of the Catholic customs can be traced back to Jewish observances. This makes sense since the first Christians were Jews and the first Catholic Pope was a fishman named Peter.

Where do I begin? Sundays are my favorite day of the week for so many reasons. The most obvious is that on Sundays Hubby and I start our day with Mass.
Continue reading “What Makes Sundays So Special”Can You Guess What Day It Is?
If you guessed National Hot Chocolate Day, you would be spot on. Makes sense in the dead of winter to celebrate a day with a warm, liquid dessert served in a mug.
Continue reading “Can You Guess What Day It Is?”Croissants on a Friday
One of the things that I loved about living in Las Vegas were the casinos. Many of the mega themed casinos on the strip offer more than the games of chance. Some of the best 5-Star restaurants are in casinos, as are unique shopping experiences.

Growing up our house was always filled with neighbors, close friends and extended family. Dad had the back patio enclosed. In the winter there were heavy sheets of plastic that were locked into place to keep out the weather. In the summer, those were removed, allowing the Delta breezes to keep us cool.

Why do saints exist? Are they inventions of the Catholic Church? Are Saints even real? All very good questions.
Continue reading “A Humble Feast for a Holy Man”Gotta Love Spicy Tuesdays
Welcome to yet another Spicy Tuesday in Rosemarie’s Kitchen. While the day of the week isn’t always carved in stone, I do like to cook up a delicious Mexican Supper at least once a week. It’s always a good excuse for the Margaritas.
Continue reading “Gotta Love Spicy Tuesdays”Gimme the Spice
Without all that salt. I love Cajun dishes. What I don’t like about most Cajun Seasonings is that along with the heat there’s a ton of salt. The more heat you add, the saltier the finish. Yeah, no thanks.
Continue reading “Gimme the Spice”Humility and Conversion
How is it that two similar words can have such vastly different meanings. Humility is nothing like humiliation. Humiliation is imposed by others from without. Humility is cultivated from within.

Today is the Memorial Feast of Saint Francis de Sales, Bishop and Doctor of the Church. It is also a beautiful Saturday in the Second Week of Ordinary Times. What more reason do we need to celebrate and enjoy this day of the Lord?
Continue reading “What a Beautiful Day for Muffins”It’s One Pie of A Day
If you’ve been around a while (thank you!), you know that I plan our meals well in advance, taking into consideration National Days for this little Blog of mine, as well as the bigger Holidays and Feasts. Knowing that National Pie Day was looming, I decided to bake up a Galette to honor the day.
Continue reading “It’s One Pie of A Day”It’s a Southern Day
While I don’t believe in the possibility of prior lives, I do wonder about the possibility of inheriting memories. Just where are memories stored? And if a memory is strong enough, can it be passed down? Something to think about.
Continue reading “It’s a Southern Day”To Seek of Our Lady of Altagracia
Today is the feast day of our Lady of Altagracia, Our Lady of Grace. In some parts of the world, especially in the Dominican Republic or neighborhoods with a large Dominican population, this feast day is a Holiday.

Today is National Cheese Lover’s Day. For Kiddo and I that is a reason to celebrate. We love cheese. Our idea of a snack is a nice Charcuterie Board.
