Before Dallas Jenkins gave us The Chosen, I never really paid much attention to the Apostles. I knew Christ selected twelve men for very specific tasks within His ministry. Even Judas was chosen for the very reason of betrayal. While that offends most Christians, the reality is without his betrayal, there would be no redemption.

On This National Day of Prayer
Each year, on the first Thursday in May, we are called as a nation to pray. Organized by the National Day of Prayer Task Force, a non-profit organization of Evangelical Conservative Christians, believers are encouraged to pray for our country. It’s not new – this year marks the 73rd Annual Call to Prayer.

In 1889, the International Socialist Conference declared May 1 to be an international day of celebration, a holiday for those who labor. As one can only imagine, this declaration did not sit well with the Catholic Church nor the United States. Yet both were slow to officially react.

Hard to believe it’s already the last day of April. It’s a bitch to get this old – the days just fly by – racing ahead to the inevitable conclusion of life. Wow, that sounds like a bummer. I just remember when I was a kid, summers seemed to last a lifetime. In some ways they did. Rarely was I the same person at the end of summer as I was at the start.

Okay, so it’s National Shrimp Scampi Day. If you were expecting yet another Scampi Recips, sorry to disappoint. As many of you know by now, the family took an amazing Cruise Vacation. Since we visited both Hawaii and Mexico, I’m in the mood for some Tropical Heat.

Welcome to the 5th Sunday of Easter and National Blueberry Pie Day. Some people are awesome bakers. While my family enjoys my pies and cakes and other goodies, I prefer to begin with boxed mixes and commertial pie doughs. My sister, Linda, is the true baker in this family. I’d much rather strut my stuff with the main course.

Welcome to my kitchen on this amazing Saturday. Hubby and I plan to spend a little time this weekend shoring up the raised beds in our garden. It had been our intention to build all new beds this year. The ones we have now have seen better days. I’m not sure why we chose to make the best of what we have for one more year. But we did.

Where to begin for today’s delicious share? I guess we should acknowledge National Days first. Today is South Dakota Day. South Dakota, politically speaking, is near and dear to my heart. I nominate their governor, Kristi Noem, to be the first female President of the United States.
Continue reading “South Dakota Day and More”Feast of Saint Mark, Evangelist
Typically on this date we talk about an event in history, East Meets West. However; since we’ve been there and done that a number of times, I thought sharring a bit more Catholic Faith would be nice. Don’t want the faith? That’s okay, just scrole down to the recipe. I promise, it was taste just as good.

Today is National Pigs in a Blanket. So naturally I’m making Hot Dogs wrapped in crescent rolls for dinner tonight. Not much of a recipe to share there.

Today is National Picnic Day. I don’t know about you, but I simply adore the whole concept of a picnic. Especially one with my Hubby, the love of my life. Unfortunately, he’s really not able to sneak off on a Tuesday. And what fun is there in a picnic spent at his desk?

Of all the bad habits picked up on vacation, having dessert every day has to be the worst. It sets you up for cravings that aren’t usually there. Like something sweet to conclude every meal.
Continue reading “A Cheater’s Awesome Cake”Italian Inspired Sunday Supper
Each Sunday has a theme throughout the year. It’s message is contained in the readings selected, and the Homily. On this, the 4th Sunday of Easter we are called to worship. If that’s not reason enough to declare Sundays as a Day of the Lord’s making, I don’t know what is.

When you take a 16-day cruise that includes 10 full days at sea, it’s important that the ship offers a variety of activities to keep the passengers occupied. There were trivia games, and live entertainment pool side. There were lectures and crafting classes. And of course there was no shortage of delightful things to eat.
Continue reading “Tea Time with My Love”Now That’s Funny!
People are so funny. As we counted down to our “Sail Away” day, Hubby and I kicked things into high gear. Watched what we ate, excersized more and went clothes shopping. A Cruise Vacation meant putting our best foot forward for a bunch of strangers we’d never see again.
