Welcome to the 4th Friday of Lent – we’re on the back side now. One more Lenten Friday, then Holy Week begins. For this particular Friday in the Lenten Season, we’ve shared six recipes over the years – half of those are for some sort of Tilapia dish. Hum, I sense a theme.

Spicing up Potato Chip Day
Today is National Potato Chip Day. I have this really cool slicer just for making your own potato chips. In all the years I’ve owned it, haven’t made potato chips once. But it does work well to get the most amazing paper-thin onions ever.

Sometimes I cannot help but to find it ironic that today we honor those called Good Samaritans. The word Samaritan today has taken on a whole new meaning. Most people don’t even realize that Samaritans are a Ethno-religious offshoot from the ancient Israelites.

Hubby is celebrating today. He adores all sorts of seafood, and scallops are at the top of his lengthy list. Until I met him, I had never eaten a scallop, let alone cooked one. You might say we have managed to broaden each other’s horizons over the years.

Today is both Johnny Applseed Day and Eat Your Noodles Day. Noodles and pasta are the same, right? Okay, we don’t call Chicken Noodle Soup Chicken Pasta Soup, but we could.

Today is Laetare Sunday. I’ve always considered myself to be a learned Catholic, with a fairly strong grasp on Church Teachings and traditions. I will confess, I hadn’t a clue what Laetare Sunday meant until recently.

Now why couldn’t this be yesterday? I mean, how convenient would that have been! Lenten Friday, Oregon Day and Crabmeat Day all rolled into one amazing supper. Oh well, I guess we can’t have everything.

It’s been a while now since we vacationed in Oregon. The Oregon Coast is one of my favorite places to spend time. I had even considered retiring in the Pacific Northwest. But then that was before.

And to tell you the truth, I’m not sure what I should do with that. According to the National Day Calendar site, today we are suppose to grab our spoons and favorite cereal bowl to celebrate the most popular breakfast food in America.

Today is National Frozen Foods Day. Did you grow up eating frozen foods, as in frozen meals? You know, those T.V. Dinners that were anything but convenient. Unlike the microwave zap it in 5 minutes or less, the original T.V. Dinners were reheated in an oven; and sometimes that could take as much as an hour.

Sometimes my guys can make me a little bit nuts. But that’s part of the joy of belonging to a loving family – making each other a little nuts.

They call me mellow yellow. Great, now I’ve got Donovan singing in my head! Guess being a fan of the Hurdy Gurdy Man is letting my age show a bit. But not as much as his. Donovan released a new album last year, at the ripe old age of 76. Good for you!

Today we celebrate the 3rd Sunday in Lent. While we often hear the Sundays during Lent called Sunday of Lent; that’s not altogether accurate. While falling within the Lenten Season, Sundays are apart from Lent and therefore are in Lent while not a part of Lent.

Most families have nicknames for their family members. Growing up, my siblings had nicknames. Brother Dear, named after our father, was never calling Little or Junior. He was Jimbo. It’s the name my mother gave him, and it’s what all the adults knew him as. As for us kids, he was Jimmy. Even as an adult, he never outgrew the name.
