Growing up, I had never even heard of Eggs Benedict. At least I don’t think I had. It wasn’t until Hubby and I got married that my culinary world began to open up in a very strange way.

Today is one of those rare feast days that comes to the Church through its rich oral tradition. Oral tradition is truly the building blocks of our faith. Before there was written scripture there were the oral traditions.

It’s interesting to see opposing trends happing simultaneously. It’s a shame that these trends are also splitting much of the country in two. There’s the left and the right. Nearly all Christians aline more to the right. I don’t think that has changed over the years.

Did you know that if you search a date, like today, one of the things that will pop up is Wikipedia – filled with seemingly useless information. For example today is 176th day of the year, unless it’s a leap year, and then it would be 177th. (No kidding!) Leap year or not only 189 days remain until the end of the year.

Have you ever asked yourself what does the word “Nativity” mean? What does it conjure up in your mind? Nativity comes from the Latin term “nativitas” meaning birth.

Did you know that today is National Pink Day? Depending upon the site you choose, it has as many reasons for celebrating as there are shades of pink in the world. Once upon a time, pink wasn’t even associated with the gender of a child.

It’s not enough to simply be a part of conception, a father is so much more than that. Study after study reinforces what generations before ours knew – the role of father is key to everyone’s well being.

While Memorial Day has always signaled the Unofficial Start of Summer (aka boating season), the Summer Solstice is the official start of the summer season.

Most Americans refer to the local administration as a County, each with its own County Seat. Only two states are not divided into counties. There are jurisdictional lines alright, but these lines aren’t called county lines. In Alaska there are different Boroughs. While Louisiana uses the term Parish.

Sometimes I think it’s interesting the way things just have a way of working themselves out. Yesterday we shared a lovely Roast Supper and hinted at a second meal to come. While this could have been it, it’s not.

These days, especially in California with the cost of living what it is, sometime even on a Wild Card Day we need to think about stretching the food dollar. Growing up as I did in a working class family, little was wasted. A Roast Chicken supper could mean chopped chicken salad later in the week.

Today is National Fudge Day. Maybe it’s just me, but I’m not a fan of fudge in the summer. Dad made the best fudge ever. And he always made it at Christmas Time. So for me fudge is a Holiday thing.

Bob’s Big Boy Restaurants are about as iconic as Mel’s Drive In. It all began in 1936 when Bob Wian sold his prized Desoto Roadster and used the money to buy a hamburger stand in Glendale, California. He named his tiny restaurant Bob’s Pantry.

Over the years, Hubby and I have done our share of traveling adventures. We’ve sipped rum in Jamaica, seen the wilds of Alaska, swam with sharks in Tahiti, and climbed Mayan ruins in the Yucatan.
