Today is National Cheese Lover’s Day. For Kiddo and I that is a reason to celebrate. We love cheese. Our idea of a snack is a nice Charcuterie Board.

Gourmet Coffee Day
Today is National Gourmet Coffee Day. What’s the point of brewing up a cup of Gourmet Coffee without a delicious Gourmet Coffee Cake to serve with that extra-ordinary cup of Joe?

And it’s also a Friday, so you know what that means – something from the sea. Thought we’d really go on an adventure – to Costa Rica. Personally I’ve never been except in my dreams.

Do your remember the Smoked Turkey we shared for the Feast of Holy Innocents? Yeah, we smoked that turkey on Thanksgiving. This year it was just the three of us for Thanksgiving. So that 10 pound smoked bird gave us a lot of leftovers.
Continue reading “What a Blast from the Past”Everything But
Have you ever heard the expression Everything But the Kitchen Sink? Years ago, before we got too old and stiff to sleep on an air-mattress, Hubby and I liked to camp. Okay, I loved to camp, Hubby loved to hike although he would have preferred a bed and a shower at the end of the day.
Continue reading “Everything But”Saturday Night Supper the Cowboy Way
Recipes are as vast and countless as the stars. I think of the culinary arts as gifts from above. Something had to spark the human imagination. Why else would anyone eat snails floating in warm butter or put fish eggs on toast?
Continue reading “Saturday Night Supper the Cowboy Way”Our Lady of New Orleans
There are countless reasons why I love my faith as I do. Not to put any other Christian denominations down, but Catholic (meaning Universal) is the original Christian Faith. Our first duly appointed Pope was a fisherman named Simon, later called Peter by Christ Himself.
Continue reading “Our Lady of New Orleans”Welcome to a Wild West Wednesday
If January isn’t soup weather, I don’t know what is. There is nothing like cradling a warm bowl of soup in your hands, letting the steam rise up and warm you before that first spoonful of delight dances across your tongue.

My mother was born and raised in the Philippines. Her mother was Filipino with just a splash of Chinese. Her father was a Blue-eyed Spaniard. Much of the Philippines reflected Spain’s influence from the Catholic Faith to traditions.
Continue reading “Guided By a Star”Epiphany Sunday and More
Growing up Catholic made me feel special in a way. My faith was woven into the very fabric of my life. God ever present was comforting. It still is, but I wonder about the generations to come.

Way, way back in July of 2023 (yeah, that long ago) I shared with you the story of our favorite Mexican Restaurant, and my favorite dish to order on a Friday Night. I’m one of those weird people who can dine out, then manage to recreate the dish at home.

It’s been a while since we’ve dabbled in a fantasy menu. What better occasion is there to dream than with the coming of a new year, filled with possibilities.
Continue reading “Another Year Over”The Fifth Day in the Octave of Christmas
It doesn’t matter if you are observing the Octave of Christmas, which is eight days long, or the more widely known Twelve Days of Christmas, today is the fifth day for both. As the familiar song is sung, the tempo is very upbeat and quick until the 5th Day of Christmas. Clearly there is an emphasis on the Five Golden Rings.
Continue reading “The Fifth Day in the Octave of Christmas”Saint John and the Christmas Season
While God does not work in Poetic Justice the way we think of Poetic Justice, there is something just in the fact that Saint John is the only Apostle whose feast day is within the Christmas Season. He was the youngest of the Chosen, and the only one to remain at the foot of the cross.
Continue reading “Saint John and the Christmas Season”It’s Christmas Morning!
For the life of me I cannot recall Christmas Morning traditions as a child. There were the squeal of delight accompanied the flurry of ribbons, bows and colorful paper ripped from packages and tossed aside. Santa always managed to bring us something special even when times were tight.
