Imagine my surprise when the Vatican came out recently to reject petitions within the Church to formally proclaim Mary as “co-redemptory” or “co-mediatrix.” It shows how little I know about certain movements within the Church.

Go In Peace This Advent Season
There is no recipe to share with this post. It’s just me, rambling through my own thoughts of the moment. Every year our Parish hosts an Advent Mission. It is a four-day lecture to help us to grown in our faith, prepare for the Season and to act as a catapult of sorts. It’s a Mission after all.

Most Thursdays are Italian Inspired Suppers in our house. The moment I start planning a meal such as the one we are sharing today, Dean Martin starts singing in my head. As a girl I was a big, big fan of The Dean Martin Show.

The world has seen its shares of ups and downs, of war times and peace times. As bad as the bad times get, they do end. Just as good as the good times seem, they too run in cycles, coming to an end.

Guess lots of folks that don’t venture out for Black Friday or want even more bargains are all surfing the net for amazing on-line deals. Awesome, I guess. Personally I avoid the internet on Cyber Monday as I don’t care much for traffic jams.

Today is a very busy Saturday. It’s a part of our beloved Four-Day Weekend. There was Thanksgiving and National Family Day. Today is Shop Small Business Saturday. And tomorrow we begin the Blessed Advent Season.

Last year we celebrated an early Thanksgiving in our home. It was the first Thanksgiving since the breakup of my father’s second marriage. With our house divided and the farm on the market, we knew things were going to change.

Today is National Cake Day. That means we can bake any cake we like – from Angel Food to Vanilla Cream and everything in between. Yes, let them eat cake!

No, I haven’t lost my mind. Tomorrow is the Feast of Christ the King. It is the last feast day of the Year C Cycle. Next Sunday is Advent, and the beginning of a New Year. We’ll get into all of that when the time is right. For now it’s just a lovely Saturday on the Home Front.

Mother of mercy, our life, our sweetness and our hope. To thee do we cry, poor banished children of Eve: to thee do we send up our sighs, mourning and weeping in this valley of tears. Turn then, most gracious Advocate, thine eyes of mercy toward us, and after this our exile, show unto us the blessed fruit of thy womb, Jesus.

Well it is Tuesday after all. Although I must confess, the day I made these Chimichangas for my guys marked the third day in a row we had a South of the Border inspired supper. What can I say?

Before we get to cooking, I want to wish my bouncing baby boy a very happy 50th Birthday. Wow, that kid is old! Oh wait, I guess that makes me even older. Love you sweetie!
Continue reading “Another Slow Cooker Day”Stop Creating Leftovers!
November 15 is National Clean Out Your Fridge Day. It was designed to create room for all the goodies of Thanksgiving, both in the prep and afterwards. Why do this on November 15 and not the Sunday before Thanksgiving is beyond me.
Continue reading “Stop Creating Leftovers!”Okay, So It Isn’t Chicken Soup
Today is National Chicken Soup for the Soul Day. Now I thought about sharing a Chicken Noodle Soup recipe, but we’ve recently done that. We’ve also done Chicken and Rice Soup. So I thought we’d reach back into our catalog of soups and enjoy the most amazing Tomato Soup on the planet.

Here’s to the amazing Roast Beef Sandwich. Some trace the origins of the American-Style roast beef sandwich back to the 1870s and a dish commonly called “Beefsteak Toast”. That’s cold slices of beef, bread and gravy. Nothing else.
