Today is a big day for the mattress, furniture and car industries. It’s Presidents Day – one of several three-day weekend when Americans are encouraged to buy new big ticket items. Yeah, it’s a strange American custom.

O Creamy Day
Today is National Fettuccini Alfredo Day. That means today is suppose to be all about the Fettuccini, right? That would make sense.
Continue reading “O Creamy Day”So It’s Not a Lobster
Today is National Lobster Day. How convenient, since it is also a Friday. Lobsters are great served as part of a Surf and Turf ensemble. But on their own, unless you are dining at The Palms, the tails are way to small for a meal.

I know, it’s not Friday. We could have a burger by the fireside or maybe a pizza. Yeah, but I just had to share this recipe with you as soon as possible. Let me explain.

While not officially a recognized holiday, the day after Thanksgiving is typically part of a four-day weekend. Unofficially, it’s Family Day. A day for families to gather in a relaxed setting to catch up with one another.

Today is National Clean Out the Fridge Day. We ar all encouraged to make room in the fridge for all the Thanksgiving Dishes that will be making their way to our home. Be it Aunt Sue’s Green Bean Casserole or Uncle Lee’s home-made hooch.
Continue reading “Say What?”Friday Night Pub Special
Friday Night and Pubs just seem to go together, don’t they? The only problem with pubs is the notice level. Maybe it’s just me but when I like to go to dinner, I also like to have a conversation with the people at the table with me. Pubs are loud.

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.
Continue reading “One Spicy Friday Night”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.

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.

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.
Continue reading “Friday’s Beautiful Shrimp”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.

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.

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.

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.
