No recipe this time, just pictures. If you’ve been following along, you know that Hubby and I put in a hot pepper garden every year. The best part about the garden is that we have fresh peppers at our finger tips.

I'm a wife, mother, grandmother and avid home cook.I believe in eating healthy whenever possible, while still managing to indulge in life's pleasures.
Which Came First?
Today is National Fajita Day. And that brings me to the burning questions – which came first? Was it the Chicken Fajita or the Steak Fajita? And as long as we are asking, just where did the whole Fajita concept come from in the first place?

Massachusetts is rich in history and steeped in many of America’s firsts. The First Thanksgiving, the first telephone, the first post office and the first subway system are all a part of Massachusetts’ history.

Today is National Bratwurst Day. To me, it seems so wrong to celebrate Bratwurst in August. September makes more sense. Or October, when Football is in full swing. But not August.

Within the Universal Catholic Church worldwide, there are 10 Holy Days of Obligation to attend Mass in addition to Sunday worship. However; in 1991 the Bishops of the United States petitioned the Holy See, and were granted the removal of three of the Universal Holy Days of Obligation and to transfer the celebration of the Epiphany (January 6) to the nearest Sunday.

Pretty much for the whole of the world, today marks the day Japan announced their intention to surrender. It marks the end of the War in the Pacific. Today is known as VJ Day everywhere except the good old US of A.

Hello and welcome to the second Saturday in August. Oh my, summer is certainly fading fast! Did you know that the second Saturday in August is National Bowling Day? What’s that – you don’t have a bowling ball? That’s okay, today is also National Garage Sale Day. Bet you can find a used ball cheap. Uh – no!

When there are only three children, it’s obvious which would be the middle child. When there are three girls and one boy, again obvious. But what about four boys? Or two girls and two boys? Would the two in the middle be equally the middle child?

I just found out that today is National Presidential Joke Day. Interesting. I would say that every day is a Presidential Joke, but that would be rude. So I think I’ll just say “no comment”.

Today it seems popular to slam America. If you aren’t tearing it down, then you must be some kind of evil. I disagree. Sure, you can see the bad, but you need also embrace the good. Every coin has two sides. Even America.

This year when it came time for a vacation things were different in our house. We made the decision to stay close to home. During the height of pandemic craziness when the world seemed to hang a giant “Closed Until Further Notice” sign out, we still managed to take a vacation. Not this year.

Welcome to Mellow Monday. Our weekends tend to be fairly hectic. There’s the usual errands on Saturday and Mass on Sunday. In between, we like to be as active as possible – attend fairs, stroll farmer’s markets, or just get together with friends and family.

Today is National Lighthouse Day. I thought it would be nice to feature a lighthouse a little closer to home. Battery Point Lighthouse is in northern California, near Crescent City. Established in 1856, this small but beautiful lighthouse is listed on the National Registry of Historic Places.

On the National Front, today is Oyster Day, Underwear Day, Work like a Dog Day and Water Balloon Day (1st Friday in August). With the exception of Oysters, none of those celebrations have anything to do with food. As for oysters – not my cup of tea. Never have been, never will.
