Deep in Thought on a Tijuana Tuesday

Do you ever talk to yourself? I do. I wander around the house, usually cleaning or working on a project, and I think out loud. That’s the only way to explain it – thinking out loud. I mean it’s not like having a conversation with myself. That would be crazy.

The Keys to a Good Samaritan

Sometimes I cannot help but to find it ironic that today we honor those called Good Samaritans. The word Samaritan today has taken on a whole new meaning. Most people don’t even realize that Samaritans are a Ethno-religious offshoot from the ancient Israelites.

Celebrate the Second Sunday in Lent

Not that long ago, I shared with you that Hubby and I attended a Thank You Dinner put on by our Parish. It was to honor those who volunteered their time and then some to put together a month long Eucharistic Immersion Experience that actually allowed visitors to walk through the Twelve Stations of the Eucharist.

Beautiful Sunday Supper

Our year is nearly at an end. Next Sunday is the Feast of Christ the King, the last Sunday of the Church year. The following Sunday Advent begins, as the Church embraces a new liturgical year, with readings from Cycle B, and a focus on the Gospel of Saint Mark. For Catholics today, the Bible readings presented on Sundays are divided into Year A, Year B and Year C.

German-American Day and Chicken Schnitzel

Once upon a time this country celebrated National German-American Day. The first such celebration took place in Philadelphia in 1883 to mark the 200th anniversary of the founding of Germantown. The idea of celebrating Americans with German roots caught on.

National Chicken Wing Compromise

What are Boneless Chicken Wings? Let’s be honest – they are bite-size pieces of chicken breast that have be prepared much the same way you would wings. There’s nothing “wing” about it. But it is a compormise.

A Different Fried Chicken

Today is National Fried Chicken Day. And so we must ask ourselves, just what is fried chicken? What a silly question! It’s chicken that’s fried, right? So this chicken counts. It’s cooked in a skillet, what more do we want?

Gather Round the Table

“Now, Therefore, I, Franklin D. Roosevelt, President of the United States of America, do hereby designate December 15, 1941, as Bill of Rights Day.  And I call upon the officials of the Government, and upon the people of the United States, to observe the day by displaying the flag of the United States on public buildings and by meeting together for such prayers and such ceremonies as may seem to them appropriate.”

It’s A Saturday Nigh Rant

It seems lately I’ve been feeling a bit nostalgic. And that makes me sad in some ways. I long for a time that has passed, and will not come again. A simple time. A rich time.

Surprisingly Delicious Sunday Supper

Growing up, Sunday dinners were either Roast Beef or Fried Chicken. I cannot remember having a roast chicken, but I haven’t a clue why. Perhaps it’s because Pops hails from Oklahoma, with a very southern country boy upbringing. I’m sure somewhere in the south there might be a chicken roasting, but more often than not it’s fried.

It’s Chicken Boy Day Yet Again

If you’ve been around before, then you know that September 1 is National Chicken Boy Day. This day is more about the giant Chicken Boy than the restaurant he once called home.

Whiskey Laced Chicken Supper

Is this really the first day in June? Oh my, this year is really flying along. The older I get, the more the days seem to whisk on by. Too bad life doesn’t come with a remote control to fast-forward though life’s difficulties and a pause button to linger in the joys.

Welcome to Tuscan Thursday

On the National Front, today is Nutty Fudge Day. Who doesn’t love fudge? It’s been a part of my Christmas celebration for as long as I can remember. Dad made upwards of 5 pounds or more every holiday.
