A fabulous day for fish! In our house, Fridays are fabulous as well as meatless. Every Friday is like a Friday of Lent. Partially due to faith and old school teachings, but also because eating fish is good for you.

Summertime and the Catfish Are Jumping
Oh my, that Catfish looks more like a shark with whiskers. With nearly 3,000 known species, catfish are one of the most divers groups of vertebrates on the planet.

As a working man, Kiddo looks forward to Fridays. It’s the end of the workweek. Two glorious days off. All he need do is get beyond our Friday Night Catholic Supper.

Sometimes a full dinner just seems to be too much. Yet a sandwich just isn’t striking a cord either. What to do? A salad, of course.

Today is National Shrimp Scampi Day. If you are thinking sautéed shrimp with lots of butter, you are right. In America, often shrimp entrees are called Scampi in our Italian Restaurants. Scampi over Pasta. Scampi Salad. Is Scampi Italian for Shrimp? Or is Scampi a way to cook Shrimp?

Happy Friday Everyone! Yeah, I know we’re over Lent. And while the Church does not strictly adhere to the No Meat on Fridays rule of old, it does subscribe to the practice of penance on Fridays throughout the year.

As luck would have it, today is National Baked Scallops Day. It’s that day set aside to celebrate all things Scallop. Scallops can be found in all the world’s oceans. They are among the most popular shellfish on the planet; highly prized as a food source. Their preparation vary from place to place.

Today is National Crabmeat Day. For us, the best part of the Lenten Season are the Crab Feed Fundraisers. In the past, these were social occasions. Sadly, last year many churches canceled their events completely in the wake of the pandemic.

Something interesting happened during the first lock-down in California. Unlike other lock-downs that have followed, during that first one Hubby worked from home and Kiddo was temporarily out of work. As you can imagine, the Event Industry came to an immediate girding halt.

Today is the second Friday of Lent and the first Friday following the first Sunday of Lent. That would mean it’s an Ember Days Friday, too. So confusing. Bottom line is it’s a day of Abstinence within the Universal Catholic Church. It means no meat today. It is also a celebration of Spring with Ember Days of Lent.

The countdown has begun. Today is the Friday following Ash Wednesday. Catholics across the globe have begun the discipline of Lenten Fridays, fasting, penance and personal sacrifice.

Personally, if I were in charge National Lobster Thermidor Day would be February 14th. I mean, what is more romantic than lobster? Especially Lobster Thermidor.

What an awesome day! On the National Food Front, today is a celebration of Southern Cooking and (yum) Blonde Brownies. It’s also Friday. We all know that in our house, Fridays are Old School from a Catholic perspective. It’s a meatless day.

Hands down, today is one of my favorite Food Days. It’s National Cheese Lover’s Day – hooray!

The first Cheesemaker did not set out to make cheese, but rather discovered it naturally.
