German-American Day and Chicken Schnitzel
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.

We could spend a lifetime studying Catholic teachings on the subject of Angels and Guardian Angels. Saints have written volumes on the subject, as have Doctors of the Church and Theologians. Angels appear in both Old and New Testament, the bases and inspiration behind all these writings.

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.

What can I say except it’s a good thing today is Wild Card Wednesday. That means, when it comes to the family’s evening meal, anything goes. That’s good because today is also National Hash Day. Simply put, we get to have breakfast for dinner tonight.

Sometimes you just gotta wonder. If this recipes seems a little familiar, you’d be right. Turns out a year ago tomorrow, I shared a recipe for Chuck Roast Flautas that was very similar indeed. As a matter of fact, what was on my menu planner was last year’s recipe.

Having a National This or That Day for every single day throughout the year is helpful when planning all sorts of things from family dinners to outings and events. Things like National Beach Day to promote cleaning up our beaches at the end of summer or Earth Day as a great day to plant the family garden are examples.
