Tennessee Bound
Beginning with next year’s vacation time forward, Hubby and I will be traveling to Tennessee. We’ve done our homework as far as we can take it surfing the web, now it’s time for boots on the ground. In just two more years Hubby will be retired. When he does, we’ll be kicking the California dust off our shoes.
Continue reading “Tennessee Bound”O Greasy Food Day!
Since 2020, we have managed to share a greasy dish on this National Greasy Food Day. The first time out of the gate, it was Chicken and Waffles. The next two years it was all about the burgers with a Bacon Cheeseburger with Fry Sauce followed by an Amazing Skillet Burger.

Raphael is one of three archangels mentioned by name in the Bible. We first encounter Raphael in the Old Testament. It is during a time of the Maccabees revolt. Interestingly enough, it is during this same time that the Festival Of Lights began.

Today is National Boston Cream Pie Day. Most of us know the Parker House Hotel in Boston because we can get Parker House Dinner Rolls in the frozen food section of our grocery stores. Did you know that the Parker House is also home to the original Boston Cream Pie?

Throughout the ages, God has given us leaders, examples of what it means to be a person of God. A true follower of Christ. Today we have hundreds if not thousands of examples from teachings and writings. We have even more.

If today is Tuesday, there must be tacos on the menu. It’s a good thing the Lord will bless a hot mess, because these Taco Bell inspired Crunch Wrap Supremes are just that – one hot mess.

While recent events have spawned a revival of sorts among the faithful, I’m not totally convinced that it will last. I pray that it does. There seems to be a strong movement to return to our faith, I just don’t know how many have actually undergone a true conversion.

Growing up, was it a roast chicken or a roast beef that was the traditional “roast” supper in your home? In our house, it all depended upon how many people were at the table. Chicken for smaller gatherings, a big roast beef when the house was overflowing with people.

Or by the grace of God, this year happens to be Year C in the three-year cycle of Gospel Readings within the Catholic Church. Today just happens to be the Feast Day of Saint Luke, Evangelist. Throughout Year C Catholics hear the Gospel according to Saint Luke every Sunday.

Today is a great day indeed. For one thing, it’s Friday. As a Catholic this means just one thing – a chance once again to give up something worldly for my Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ who gave up all for me. Yeah, it’s a Meatless Friday in our house. That is just fine.

Today is National Liqueur Day. That is not to be confused with Liquor. The two are not the same, and therefore aren’t interchangeable. I’m not going to bore you with all the differences or technical terms. Simply put most Liqueurs are sweet, most Liquors are not.

What can I say – I’ve been in a nostalgic frame of mind for a while now. If you were to peek in my closet, you’d see what I mean.

One morning as Kiddo stood in front of the refrigerator, reading the menu posted for the week, he asked why can’t we have stuff we like, that you’ve made before. I will admit, not everything I make is for blogging, but most of it is.

Happy Birthday Charlie Kirk! Unless you live under a rock somewhere or ignore the push on Social Media to flood the world with Red Shirts today, you already know it’s Charlie’s 32 birthday. To celebrate this, his first heavenly birthday, I thought we might bake a cake.
