National Ravioli Day with Flair!
Welcome to the first day of Spring. Are you ready to enjoy life again? We will be putting our garden in soon, having already prepared the beds for this year’s summer harvest. Tomatoes and peppers are the biggies for us. We’ve given up on the idea of growing strawberries. The battle of the bugs has officially done us in. I might plant herbs in the bed where the berries had been. Or more tomatoes. We are still in research mode.

On the National Calendar, March 19th is Poultry Day – a day to enjoy all things poultry, from eggs at breakfast to fried chicken for supper. Poultry actually refers to all domestic birds that are raised for their meat and eggs. Poultry includes chicken, turkey, ducks, geese, quail and even pheasant. The most common farm raised poultry are chickens.

Today is the 3rd Thursday of March. I wanted to acknowledge the significance of the day that has everything to do with food but nothing to do with recipes. Today is Nation Farm Rescue Day. Farm Rescue is a non-profit organization that is an important part of the farming and ranching community from North Dakota to Kansas. Without farmers and ranchers, we’d have no food.

Each year on March 17, America becomes one giant Emerald Isle for an entire day. We wear green clothing, guzzle green beer and in Chicago, even dye the rivers green. All things thought to be Irish are actually American Made.

Today we celebrate National Artichoke Hearts Day. Did you know that artichokes are a good source of antioxidants, vitamin C, folate and magnesium? Artichokes are also high in fiber, calcium and protein. Artichokes are low in calories. On their own, artichokes are fat-free and cholesterol-free. Wow, that’s one health vegetable.

Today is National Kansas Day. Like many who do not call Kansas Home, when I think Kansas I think Dorothy flying over the rainbow to Oz. I also think Bloody Kansas and the bitter division in the territory before the first shots fired in the American Civil War.

Today is the 4th Sunday in this year’s Lenten Season. During Lent, Sundays are exempt from all the rules of sacrifice, penance and abstinence associated with Lent. For that reason, in our house we try to make the Sundays during Lent extra special.

As luck would have it, today is National Baked Scallops Day. It’s that day set aside to celebrate all things Scallop. Scallops can be found in all the world’s oceans. They are among the most popular shellfish on the planet; highly prized as a food source. Their preparation vary from place to place.

Today is National Eat Your Noodles Day, which should never be confused with National Noodle Day. One day is set aside to celebrate all things Noodle, the other is all about eating those noodles. You would think that these would be one and the same as you cannot eat noodles without first preparing them.

Today is National Ranch Dressing Day. Just what is Ranch Dressing? That’s a fair question for those outside the United States and Canada. While we love it and know it well, beyond the northern half of North America, Ranch Dressing is almost unknown. At it’s core, Ranch Dressing is a buttermilk based salad dressing.

Today is National Crabmeat Day. For us, the best part of the Lenten Season are the Crab Feed Fundraisers. In the past, these were social occasions. Sadly, last year many churches canceled their events completely in the wake of the pandemic.

For the longest time, Oregon was our home away from home. My favorite place to visit. The “vibes” were amazing. With camera in hand, my soul found peace on long, cold walks on foggy mornings.

Today is National Crown Pork Roast Day. Why can’t they have Crown Pork Roast Day when there are Crown Roasts for sale? I can’t remember the last time I saw one. Growing up, you could count of the butcher displaying a roast or two at Christmas Time, with those little Frill “hats” on the end.
