And Game Night equals nibbles, of course. Anytime family gathers, I love to whip up all our favorites from a Spicy Cheese Dip to Mini Tostadas. This time around I even reached back into my own childhood memories. (AKA Swedish Meatballs that weren’t Swedish at all).

Savoring Summer
The best part of summer is that we tend to naturally slow down a bit. Drivers on the road seem to drive slower. We tend to move slower. Maybe it’s the summer sun does that. Or the fact that since childhood, we want our summers to last.

On the National Front, today is both Bootlegger’s Day and Hot Buttered Rum Day. Yeah, I know a great pairing of booze with booze. On the Church Calendar today is the Feast Day of Saint Anthony.

With the holidays now in full swing, we’ll be attending all sorts of parties. There are office parties, church socials and family events. Perhaps you’ll host an open house to share hot cider with your neighbors. These days, many of our gatherings will not be catered events.

How many of you pin things to Pinterest? I save recipes to mine – from my blog and from all the blogs I follow. Every now and then, I need to go in and “clean house” – delete duplicate pins or pins that no longer are linked to anything. Currently there are over 11,000 pins. That’s a lot.

Have you ever had Caviar? I mean the real deal – the stuff you need to take out a second mortgage on your house or postpone your child’s college education to buy. Okay, maybe it’s not that expensive, but it’s certainly not cheap by any stretch of the imagination.
Continue reading “National Caviar Day Two Ways”A Little Freaky Fun!
What can I say – I could not wait until next year to share our Halloween Fun with you. Everyone did such an amazing job with their costumers and especially with the food. I just could not tuck all this fun away to share next year.

Today is National Beach Day. Yeah, celebrating the end of summer while grabbing that last bit of sun. That’s what National Beach Day is all about, right? Well, sort of . . .

Today is National Cheese Lovers Day. I suppose we could have served up a creamy Mac and Cheese dish and called it a day. But why do that when we can throw a Cheese Inspired Party instead!

Getting ready for the Holidays in our house is a huge undertaking. There are gifts to buy, cards to mail and all that decorating. Decorating our home in holiday cheer takes days.
Continue reading “The Holidays are Coming”Ember Days and Lobster
Today is National Lobster Day. Let’s talk about the gold standard of the seafood industry for a moment. When settlers first landed in America, lobsters were in such abundance that they actually washed up on shore in piles nearly two-feet high. They were thought of as the cockroaches of the sea.
Continue reading “Ember Days and Lobster”Another Delicious National Day
Today was tough to pick just one National Day to focus in on. Four of the National Days inspire amazing talking points, none “food” based. On the other hand, two are great food focal points, just not together. Let me explain . . .

Today is National Caviar Day. If you happen to have money to burn, treat yourself to the real deal – Sturgeon Fish Eggs on toast. Since several species of Sturgeon Fish produce true Caviar, caviar is found in a variety of colors and textures, depending upon the species.

So, did you dye a few dozen eggs to hide in the yard for the children to seek out? As a girl, I remember two things so vividly. The first was all the fun we had coloring eggs. The second was the smell of those undiscovered eggs when summer finally arrived. Thank goodness for plastic eggs!

If this Turkey Cheese Ball seems familiar, you are right. I shared him with you a few years back as part of an ensemble of Thanksgiving Appetizers. This particular appetizer has evolved over the years. He deserved his own spotlight.
