Today is a very busy Saturday. It’s a part of our beloved Four-Day Weekend. There was Thanksgiving and National Family Day. Today is Shop Small Business Saturday. And tomorrow we begin the Blessed Advent Season.

Sundays and Families
When I was growing up, Sundays were different. Today I would be willing to bet the number of families who attend Sunday Services together are in the minority – especially in certain parts of the country. Although studies are now beginning to reflect a return to churches.
Continue reading “Sundays and Families”Did You Say Today is Ordinary?
For an Ordinary Times Saturday, we sure have a lot of things going on. It’s Hubby’s National Day (sort of). Actually, it’s Two Different Colored Eyes Day. Since he has two different colored eyes, I’d say that makes today special for him.

No, not poker chips. It’s National Chocolate Chip Day – and yet we have no cookies! Yeah, I know it’s hard to believe.

Many, many moons ago Hubby and I hung out with a couple who were much younger than us, but that didn’t seem to matter. Most of our friends back then (and now) are much younger than us. The wife was from Oklahoma, the husband a wild bush pilot from upstate New York.

Today is National Pancake Day. My Dad made the best pancakes ever. And that’s a good thing. He worked construction. If you know anything about construction, you know it’s not a year-round job. The rains of winter signaled a tightening of the belt as construction work came to a crawl.

Once upon a time when Kiddo was a kid, we had a tradition for Fat Tuesday. We made Pancakes. You know, colorful Shove Tuesday Pancakes. Gosh, it’s been a while.

Just the most amazing pancakes ever! Better than anything I’ve ever had – be it out or at home. Completely from scratch and oh my – so easy!

If you’ve been following along for a while, you know that I tend to plan out our family meals way, way in advance. As in months in advance. That said, our meal plan isn’t finalized until a day or two before shopping for the week.

Sometimes a recipe shared is just that, a recipe shared. While this awesome Dutch Baby isn’t directly tied to the National Days we celebrate today, it does compliment the day. Today is National Gardening Day. Just look at all the luscious berries – if that doesn’t scram bountiful gardening, I don’t know what does.

Today is National Pancake Day. Rather than give a standard flapjack recipe, I thought we’d reach back – way back. I love old cookbooks. This recipe, with a few modern interpretations, comes from an old tattered book that was published in 1908.
Hello Saturday Morning!
Do you have a favorite meal of the day? Not a favorite dish, but classification of meal – breakfast, lunch or dinner. Mine would be breakfast or brunch, hands down. I love breakfast-brunch so much that there are times I’ll serve it for dinner.
It’s a Very Blue Day
Pancakes are delicious any way you make them. Today’s pancakes are made extra special with fresh Blueberries. You guessed it, today is National Blueberry Pancake Day.
The Duke’s Dutch Baby
While we were in Seaside Oregon we stumbled upon a very interesting shop. It was filled with sarcastic T-shirts, Lava Lamps and John Wayne Cookbooks. I haven’t a clue what these three have in common, but I did pick up a cookbook. I could have gone with the John Wayne Way to Grill or the John Wayne Cast Iron Official Cookbook. I don’t know what makes it Official other than the cover is signed “Eat Up, John Wayne” and there are pictures of him with every recipe.
Shrove Tuesday’s Colorful Pancakes
When Kiddo was just a little Kiddo, we did a lot of fun things with our food. We celebrated more. And we took our faith more seriously as well. I can remember making these beautiful pancakes for my family to enjoy on Shrove Tuesday. Back then, we had time in the morning before Kiddo rushed off to school and Hubby headed for the office. I miss those days.
