I grew up in a bygone time. Many of our mothers didn’t have jobs outside the home, at least not the kinds that paid. They helped in the classrooms, ran the after school programs, kept the Little League on track, while the men did “manly things” like coach and empire.

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.

It is with such mixed emotion that many of us look back on this day. Our innocence was forever changed. It wasn’t simply the impact September 11 had on Americans, it was a pain felt round the world.

We can thank President Jimmy Carter and Marian McQuade for National Grandparents Day. While it can be argued that this “made up” holiday is really the brainchild of the Greeting Card Industry, the value of grandparents should never be overlooked.

Hubby sent me an e-mail about our upcoming wedding anniversary – did I want to go out to dinner? He had been looking for a French Restaurant in our little Ag town, and the only thing that came up was Mimi’s Café. Yeah, like that’s a French Restaurant!

Just as Memorial Day is the unofficial start to summer, Labor Day is the unofficial end. There is reason for this. Once upon a time, most school years ended shortly after Memorial Day. And the new school year didn’t begin until the Tuesday following Labor Day. Hence summer – as in summer vacation was between Memorial Day and Labor Day.

Did you know that today is National Baby Back Ribs Day? Seems we’ve been eating a lot of ribs lately. Not long ago, I made Braised Short Ribs served on a bed of Pureed Potatoes. There’s a story behind that, and I’ll share it when I share my recipe.

Today is one of those two-for-one specials. On September 2, 1945 the War in the Pacific was officially over – the Ts were crossed and the surrender officially signed. In the past we have concentrated on that particular event. But not this time around.
