Oh what a beautiful Thursday in October. It’s National Vermont Day. When you think of Vermont, what are the first things that come to mind? Fall foliage and maple syrup, right? At least that’s what I think of anyway.

I'm a wife, mother, grandmother and avid home cook.I believe in eating healthy whenever possible, while still managing to indulge in life's pleasures.
Hooray for Sausage Pizza Day
Today is National Sausage Pizza Day. May as well call it National Hubby’s Favorite Pizza Day. When it comes to pizza, while he might eat a Pepperoni Pizza when offered, if he were in charge of ordering a pizza, it would be Sausage with Mushrooms every time.

Yeah, I know, it’s Columbus Day. So where are all the celebrations? The history? The purely Italian dishes? Like so many things in America, Columbus Day means a day off for some, long hours for others and great deals on bedroom furniture. It makes no sense.

Today is National Pierogi Day. Now I will admit, I didn’t really know what Pierogi were aside from a dough filled with mashed potatoes. And while that is part of the story, it’s only part.

Once upon a time this country celebrated National German-American Day. The first such celebration took place in Philadelphia in 1883 to mark the 200th anniversary of the founding of Germantown. The idea of celebrating Americans with German roots caught on.

Today is National Rhode Island Day. Rhode Island may have been the last of the colonies to join the Union, it was the first to demonstrate civil defiance against British authority. On June 10, 1772, Rhode Islanders boarded and sank the revenue cutter, Gaspee, in Narragansett Bay.

Our parish was truly blessed for a while by a young man named Michael who provided the musical accompaniments during our early morning Sunday Mass. He played both the organ and the piano. While not always perfect, his voice is that of an angel from above.

Today is National Soft Taco Day. While Pork Tamales are a far cry from Soft Tacos, I’m asking you to stick around anyway. After all, tamales are a Mexican Dish. And when you use Tamales found in the freezer section of your local grocery store, or fresh Tamales from the local Mexican Market, this dinner will come together in a snap.

Oh what a beautiful morning, oh what a beautiful day. I simply adore mornings in general, but especially in the spring and fall. The air seems to change with the seasons. There is more excitement – more energy – in a spring or autumn morning. Winter, you want to pull the blankets up. And summer’s are meant for being lazy.

I don’t know about you, but it seems to me the world has somehow been turned upside down these days. I’m sure it didn’t happen overnight. Like the frog in boiling water, we just failed to notice until one day we looked around and could no longer make sense of anything.

Early in the Feast Days of the Church, the most well-known Archangels each had their own feast day. Archangel Saint Gabriel was March 24, Archangel Saint Michael was September 29 and Archangel Saint Raphael was October 24.

America the beautiful, from sea to shining sea. It’s not just the land, it’s the people. People are beautiful. We should be celebrating all the things we have in common rather than to spend so much time picking one another apart.
