It has been one full week since Ash Wednesday trumped Valentine’s Day. After all, Ash Wednesday is a day of Fasting, which makes a lavish Valentine’s Day celebration rather difficult. This is the first Wednesday following the first Friday of Lent.

Muffin Day and Breakfast Puffs
Do you know the Muffin Man? Today is National Muffin Day. I cannot believe, as much as I love muffins, that we’ve never celebrated this day together. Shocking, isn’t it?

Today we celebrate Presidents Day. It’s a combination of George Washington’s Birthday and that of Abraham Lincoln. Why combine the birthdays? Both were born in February, and combining their birthdays makes life simpler.

The Lenten Season is one of those moveable Seasons within the Church. It’s always in the spring and always begins 40 days before Easter (not counting Sundays, which another whole story). Since Easter is a moveable feast day, Lent moves with it.

You would think today would be the first Friday of Lent, since Lent began on Ash Wednesday. But it’s not. Next Friday is the 1st Friday of Lent. Today is the Friday After Ash Wednesday. Don’t ask, I haven’t an answer.

Today we celebrate the state of Wisconsin. I have a deep fondness for Wisconsin. After all, Hubby was born and raised there. I might be just a little bias, but I think Wisconsin has some mighty fine sons.

Today is one of those days when the Secular World and that of Faith clash. Couples are celebrating the romantic notion of Valentine’s Day. Fancy dinners, decadent desserts, flowers, candies and expensive jewelry all mark this day.

Welcome to Fat Tuesday. We all know what that means, tomorrow is Ash Wednesday, and the Lenten Season is upon us. Forty days of personal sacrifice, penance and preparation. While Lent is a somber time and Advent a joyful time, both are really the same – a time to reflect and prepare.

They say that opposites attract. This must be true. Hubby and I love each other to the moon and back, and we knew that the first moment we met. Yet in many ways we are opposites.

Today we are to have a Brownie – preferably one that is a Cream Cheese Brownie, for it is both Have a Brownie and Cream Cheese Brownie Day. Both are wonderful ideas. However; it seems lately we’ve had way too many sweets and baked goods in the house.

One day not long ago I was talking with my Dad about Dirty Fried Eggs. Dirty Fried Eggs are eggs that have been cooked in bacon drippings, and so they look dirty with specks of bacon over the eggs. I mentioned that I like to baste my eggs in bacon drippings.

As you may have already guessed, today is National Iowa Day. So what does Iowa have to do with flying a kite? Darned if I know, it’s just that in addition to National Iowa Day, it’s also Fly a Kite Day.

Today we celebrate National Fettuccine Alfredo Day. So I ask you, what is Fettuccine Alfredo? At it’s most basic concept, it is Fettuccine Pasta that has been tossed in a sauce of heavy cream and fine Italian Cheeses. This year, I thought we’d take it one step further.
