One Spicy Friday Night

Today is one of those fun, unhealthy National Days. It’s Breadstick Day and Greasy Food Day. When it comes to breads of any kind, I am in diner’s heaven. Unfortunately, as a diabetic watching what’s left of my figure, bread is not my friend.

It’s a Friday Night Delight

On a bright Summer Sunday not very long ago, I jokingly asked our Pastor if I could order a nice steak on Friday for our wedding anniversary and just say a Rosary as penance instead. His answer surprised me.

It’s Food Bank Friday

Hubby and I feel blessed each Saturday morning as we shop for the week’s groceries. I’ve spend the days or weeks leading up to any shopping trip researching and refining recipes to test drive. Not once is it necessary to think cost.

Friday’s Beautiful Shrimp

Do you love to play around with recipes? I sure do. I found this recipe a while back and tucked it away for a sultry day. We had just returned from our time at Pine Crest Lake. The valley’s 100+ day-time high made everyone wilt.

Love Those Catholic Friday Suppers!

One thing is for sure, I love being a Catholic. When people talk about the idea of separation of Church and State, that our elected officials need to park their faith at the door, it just never made much sense to me. It’s not like a jacket that I can take off when I go indoors. Faith is a part of your being. Or at lease it should be.

One of These is Not Like the Other

Welcome to another Catholic Friday. Okay, so it’s Friday for everyone on this side of the date line, not just a Friday for Catholics. Today isn’t just Friday, it’s Different Colored Eyes Day. It’s also a bunch of other things as well that we aren’t even going to talk about.

Yum – It’s Grilled Cheese Day!

If this recipe seems familiar, you’d be right. It’s one I made a while back for Kiddo and I. Since Hubby will be joining us, I’ve made some minor changes. We’ve elimiated the stronger cheeses; sticking with those that are mild and creamy. Hubby seems to be okay with that.

Pan-Seared Tilapia for A Lenten Friday

Welcome to the 4th Friday of Lent – we’re on the back side now. One more Lenten Friday, then Holy Week begins. For this particular Friday in the Lenten Season, we’ve shared six recipes over the years – half of those are for some sort of Tilapia dish. Hum, I sense a theme.

Spicing up Potato Chip Day

Today is National Potato Chip Day. I have this really cool slicer just for making your own potato chips. In all the years I’ve owned it, haven’t made potato chips once. But it does work well to get the most amazing paper-thin onions ever.

Gotta Bake Scallop

Hubby is celebrating today. He adores all sorts of seafood, and scallops are at the top of his lengthy list. Until I met him, I had never eaten a scallop, let alone cooked one. You might say we have managed to broaden each other’s horizons over the years.

Celebrate Crabmeat with a Crab Feed

Now why couldn’t this be yesterday? I mean, how convenient would that have been! Lenten Friday, Oregon Day and Crabmeat Day all rolled into one amazing supper. Oh well, I guess we can’t have everything.

Welcome to My Special Day

On March 22, 2021 I shared a post with you. It was in celebration of West Virginia. From that moment forward, for the last 1,000 days, I have shared a post with you every day. Some have been short, some lacked a recipe, while others were bursting with good things to eat and too much to say.

Deck the Halls

When do you decorate your Christmas Tree? Some folks do it the day after Thanksgiving. Some folks wait until the first of December, while others wait until Christmas Eve. We’re the day after Thanksgiving type.

Yummy National Sandwich Day

This worked out nicely – National Sandwich Day falling on a Friday. In this Old School Catholic Household, that can only mean Soup and Sandwich Day – providing neither contains meat.

Here’s To Celebrating National Days

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.
