Some National Days are a hit and miss. Sometimes I acknowledge the day year after year, sometime I dip my toe in the water and never return again. Most National Days I’ll acknowledge once or twice, then move on. Others are of particular interest.

You remember that Three-Day Southern Fried Chicken, right? Today we fry it up. It’s Sunday, and National Cob Corn Day. We’ve got corn, and a whole lot more.

From the time my children were small, Christmas Morning always began with fresh baked Blueberry Muffins. Way back then, my baking skills were limited to boxed mixes.

This is a first for me. I am sharing Sunday Supper in stages. That’s because this Southern Fried Chicken will need three days to go from brine to fryer. Three day!

Today is the Ninth Friday of Ordinary Times. It is the Optional Memorial Feast Day of Saint Ephrem, Deacon and Doctor of the early Church. Saint Ephrem is the Patron Saint of spiritual directors.

The Eucharist is the sum and summary of our faith. It is the Body and Blood of Christ. For Catholics, Anglican and Western Orthodox faiths this is not a symbolic gesture, but is as real as Christ himself. It is a miracle that is repeated at the alter during Mass throughout the world.

My Pops is an Okie, born in Oklahoma during the Depression. While he considers himself to be a Native of Oklahoma, growing up he traveled throughout much of the Plains States, especially Texas. His father was a jack of all trades, including a traveling preacher.

Today is a lot of different things – Applesauce Cake Day and Taco Tuesday are the first that spring to mind on the Foodie Front. More on those later. Today is also the 6th day of June – D-Day. Whatever else today might mean, D-Day cannot pass without a mention, and a moment of silence.

Depending upon who you listen to, today could be National Veggie Burger Day (no, thank you) or International Ketchup Day. While not my favorite condiment, I can work with that.

Happy Trinity Sunday! The Holy Trinity is central to our Catholic Faith. Pope John XXII established this feast day for the whole of the Church in the early 1300s. It has remained a Solemnity Feast ever since. Yet few understand its significance.

Hello and welcome to the final Ember Days of Pentecost or Summer for this Church Year. We’ve talked a lot about days of old, the how’s and the why’s of Catholic teachings, observations, beliefs and faith. Sometimes people get those confused – that belief and faith are the same. Belief is knowing something. Faith is following without knowing – faith requires trust.

Today is the second Ember Days of Pentecost or Summer, but the first Ember Days of Summer to receive an optional observation. Confusing, isn’t it? When a lesser feast day (such as Ember Days, which are all optional days) falls on a feast of greater importance, the greater day is observed. This year, Mary’s visit to her cousin, Elizabeth, took precedence over the first Ember Days.

Here we are, on the first day in June. That’s half-way through the year. June 1st is one very busy day in one exciting month. It’s the month of summer fun for folks in the Northern Hemisphere. Did you know that no other month in the year begins on the same day of the week as June? I kid you not!

Today is National Utah Day. It is also the First Ember Days of Summer or Pentecost since it is the first Wednesday following Pentecost Sunday. We aren’t going to talk about either of those days. For today is the Feast of the Visitation of Mary.
