Today is National Microwave Oven Day. I’m not sure what that means. According to the National Day Calendar, today we are to honor the appliance that changed the way we use our kitchens. Hum, I don’t know about you but mine is on a shelf in the laundry room. Its main purpose is to warm left overs and make popcorn.

Chicken Rice-A-Roni without the Box
Rice-A-Roni, the San Francisco Treat. Rice-A-Roni, the flavor can’t be beat. Would you believe Rice-A-Roni really did start in the Mission District of San Francisco?

When Americans think Prohibition, we think of the 18th Amendment banning the production, transportation, and sale of alcoholic beverages. It is interesting to note that the consumption of alcohol was not prohibited. We think of the 1920s and early 30s, the birth of the Speak Easy, Organized Crime and Rum Runners. However; the movement to ban the evils of drinking began long before the 18th Amendment was ratified.
A Spicy White Bean Vegetable Soup to bring Warmth and Comfort
Are you a fan of soups? We love soups in the winter. Soups for lunch. Soups to start a fantastic supper. Soups for dinner. Some soups are light and refreshing. Other soups are so packed with ingredients they leave you wanting nothing more.

Oh Yum, It’s National Cookie Day
Another delicious National Day – National Cookie Day! I love the open ended attitude of the day – no particular type of cookie, just a cookie. My favorite cookies are sugar cookies. You can roll sugar cookie dough. You can make cut out cookies, drop cookies, thumbprint cookies. Best of all you can Brûlée the cookie.
Cheating Meat Lovers Cheesy Pizza
One of our family traditions at the Holidays is to see Trans-Siberian Orchestra. If you have the opportunity to see this amazing show, it will take your breath away. Their concerts are an elaborate production of pyro, laser, video and musical talents. Theirs is a Rock Opera in Biblical Proportions.
Warming up with Broccoli-Carrot Cheese Soup
At long last, we have cold weather here in the valley. I’ve actually needed to break out the sweaters and keep stockings on my feet rather than walk about barefooted. Oh sure, the nights have been a bit chilly, but the days have been down right warm. Tee-shirt weather warm.

National Peppermint Latte Day
Today is National Peppermint Latte Day. Now here is a day that makes sense to me. After all, we all need that pick-me-up of a good dose of caffeine. And Candy Canes abound this time of year.

Throughout the Christmas Season, we are bombarded with images that have so little to do with what is important in the grand scheme of things. Big ticket items and rushing about to be the first on the block with the latest electronic whatever. So much of Christmas is lost in the process.
Cajun Eggs Benedict with Bayou Red Potatoes
If you have been following along for a while now, you know that Hubby and I love craft fairs and festivals in little towns. We call an ag-town home, surrounded by orchards and dairy farms. It’s the biggest little ag-town around and a stone’s throw from some really small western towns.

December isn’t just about the traditional Christmas Holidays with big family meals and lots of presents. As a Catholic, we also celebrate one of my favorite Feast Days in early December, the Feast of Saint Nicholas. Most people today forget that jolly old Saint Nick is more than just a childhood story. Once upon a time, not long after the birth of the Christian faith, a man named Nicholas became the Bishop of Myra. He is the stuff of legends.
Grinch Peppermint Hot Chocolate for Grownups
I will let you in on a little secret. Something happens when your children are all grown and their children are grown. You enter a time in your life when there are no little ones running about. That’s when you realize you can start putting booze into everything.

Celebrating the First Sunday of Advent Supper
Today is the First Sunday of the Advent Season. It marks the beginning of a new liturgical year. While many associate Advent with Christmas and the birth of Christ, it is also a time of anticipation for The Second Coming. I cannot speak for other Christian Faiths, but I can share my Catholic Perspective.

Mississippi Mousse Mud Pie – Oh My!
We have already established the fact that today is National Mississippi Day. Did you know it’s also National Mousse Day? While traditionally a Mississippi Mud Pie is made with pudding, isn’t Mousse just pudding on steroids? You get where I’m going here.
National Mississippi Day and Southern Eats
Today is National Mississippi Day. The 20th state to join the union, Mississippi is home to the Delta Blues. Mississippi is one of the first states children learn how to spell with a simple crooked-letter humpback rhyme. It’s also how many of us count seconds – one Mississippi, two Mississippi.
