Today marks the 4th Friday of this year’s Lenten Season. Lent is always important in the preparation for Easter and all the joy of the season to come. Today also happens to mark a milestone of sorts in my blogging journey. This post represents five consecutive years of sharing something. Five years of uninterrupted writing.

Many of the people we’ve come to know and love through theatrical productions of scripture are really shrouded in mystery. We know more about the men of the Old Testament than we do those of the new, with the noted exception of Jesus.

I’ve heard it said that Sloppy Joes were a popular item in school lunch cafeterias. Honestly, I never had a Sloppy Joe at school. Did you?

Today we celebrate Saint Patrick’s Day. You don’t need to be Irish or even Catholic for that matter to get caught up in the festivities that abound in America on Saint Patrick’s Day. Most of how this day is celebrated wasn’t brought from Ireland but rather is American born. The Irish have better things to do than dye their rivers green.

Would you believe this is my 4th attempt at perfecting Gorditas? This time around I’m taking a three-prong approach. New Recipe. New Method. New Filling. Keeping my fingers crossed.

Sometimes I get so carried away with the meal itself, that I forget the day. Today isn’t just any Sunday in the Lenten Season, it’s Laetare Sunday. That makes it just a bit more special.

Today is National Potato Chip Day. I will admit, I did think about making some awesome Potato Chips from scratch. But really, that’s not a meal. Potato chips are for snacking or serving with a sandwich on the run.

Did you know in Medieval Times it was said that a ladder resembled the gallows? Walking under a ladder was bad luck because you had sealed your fate -and you would die by hanging.

Today is National Scallop Day. Would you believe I was in my forties before I had ever seen a scallop on a plate, let alone eaten one. I do love their shells, though. These days wild caught dry sea scallops can set you back about $75.00 a pound – ouch!

His real name was John Chapman, the son of a Revolutionary War soldier who fought at the Battle of Bunker Hill. After the war, the Chapmans moved to Ohio, where John became an apprentice orchardist. By 1817 he had begun his lifelong habit of planting apple seeds throughout his travels.

Yeah, I wish we were on a ranch. And there were horses involved. And cows. And sheep. And goats. All the things I’ve come to miss.

Today just happens to be National Meatball Day. Once upon a time we dined on the best Swedish Meatballs I’ve ever made. I wanted to share them once again with you today.

What a beautiful and glorious Sunday the Lord has made! Even when it’s raining, or foggy or too darn hot to go outside, every day the Lord saw fit to give me is a glorious day worthily of thanks. That’s just my option, what do I know?

Six weeks ago today Hubby and I attended a West Cost Event held in San Francisco each year. You could not have asked for better weather. It was a beautiful day for a beautiful cause.

Years ago, when Kiddo was a kid, our church has a wonderful “Tradition” during the Lenten Season. Most of us know the story of Christ crowned with thorns on that first Good Friday. This Crown of Thorns might not be accurate, but it’s meaning is.
