Exploring Maryland
At the southernmost tip of the state of Maryland on the western shore of Chesapeake Bay sits the site of St. Mary’s City. Today it is a large, state-run historic area that includes a reconstruction of the original colonial settlement, a living history area and museum complex. These comprise half of the area, the remaining half is occupied by the campus of St. Mary’s College of Maryland, a public honors college.

Thirty-five years ago today, I married my best friend. It’s been an amazing adventure, filled with highs and lows, shouts and whispers. Anyone who says they have the perfect marriage or never fight are either kidding themselves or they live on different planets. Marriage isn’t about the good times, it’s about working through the rough patches with your love still intact.

Have you ever read a recipe and it spiked your curiosity? This was just one of those “hum, that’s interesting” recipes. The potatoes were placed in a steam basket that was placed on top of the pork chops – layered cooking.

Today is National Bacon Lovers Day. This is not to be confused with National Bacon Day. You’ll have to wait until December for that one. As far as Kiddo is concerned; having more than one bacon day is awesome.

Today is Soft Serve Ice Cream Day. Wish I had a recipe for Soft Serve to share, but Soft Serve really isn’t something made at home. True Soft Serve Ice Cream requires a Soft Serve Ice Cream Machine, something most of us don’t keep on our kitchen counters.

Today is a very interesting National Day. We’ve got Mail Order Catalog Day and Pinot Noir Day. Then there’s National Ice Cream Pie Day and Fajita Day. You know me, if I must make a choice, it’s Fajitas all the way.

Today we celebrate the great state of Massachusetts. When you think of Massachusetts, what comes to mind? For me, it would be Boston and Irish Catholics. In part, that’s because of the Kennedy Family. You can’t get much more Boston Irish Catholic than Joseph Kennedy and his powerful clan.

As many of you know by now, I am a cradle Catholic. To be a cradle Catholic means I did not convert to the faith, but was born to the faith, having been baptized as a baby. As Catholics, we believe our faith is handed down not only through Sacred Scripture (the Holy Bible) but also through Sacred Traditions. One such tradition is the Assumption of Mary.

While the rest of the globe “officially” celebrate V-J Day on August 14 or 15 (that whole date-line thing), Americans don’t. Everywhere else, the day the Japanese announced their intention to surrender marked the end of the War in the Pacific.

Today is National Julienne Fries Day. Would you believe if you search out the term “Julienne” for some hint as to its roots (beyond French), you will actually find the question “What are Julienne Fries made of” – like you might make Julienne Fried Hot Dogs. Hum, that might not be a bad idea.

Did you enjoy yesterday’s Connecticut Connection? Great Deli Chicken Sourdough Panini, don’t you think? Me too. As it turns out, today is actually Panini Day. Guess it’s a been there, done that day. Can’t have two panini recipes back to back. Too bad Connecticut Day and Panini Day aren’t one and the same.
