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.

How Do You Say Thursday in Italian?

Giovedì. Benvenuti al Giovedì. Welcome to Thursday. Unless preempted by a holiday (such as Thanksgiving) or a Religious Feast Day (Ascension Thursday), today’s supper typically reflects an Italian influence. Not necessarily authentic Italian cuisine, think more along the lines of Italian adjacent.

Scary stuff happening in the world right now. I don’t know about you, but I’d rather listen to music or watch uplifting movies than turn on the news.

Frozen Food or Skillet Supper?

Choices, choices, choices. Today is Frozen Food Day, Oreo Day and a Thursday. In the past we’ve celebrated Frozen Foods Day with things like Make Now Freeze for Later Meatballs. Today isn’t so much about frozen foods as it is Italian Thursday. Although the Chicken Tenderloins were kept in the freezer until now.

US Navy Day and More

Semper Fidelis – Aways Faithful. Most of us recognize the motto of the Marine Corps. So that got me to wondering what is the motto of the Navy? Would you believe our sailors technically don’t have an official motto.

Warning: Klutz in the Kitchen

Some klutzy kitchen moves can be avoided. Eliminate the use of knives is one way. Order in is another. But then, if you are prone to spills, drops, blender disasters, there might not be much help for you. Except to spend more time in the kitchen. With practice comes perfection.

Piccata Inspired Supper

Hello Thursday! Today is the 16th day of March – just one more day till Saint Patrick’s Day. Let’s face it, aside from the Lenten Journey, Saint Patrick’s Day is the highlight of March. It’s that magical time of the year when we are all a bit Irish here in America. But then again, the same can be said for Cinco de Mayo – when we all embrace our Mexican inner child.

Today was a tough one. It’s National Fettuccine Alfredo Day. It’s also Tijuana Tuesday. Now in our house, we could always swap out Tijuana Tuesday with Tuscan Thursday. Better still, take Fettuccine Alfredo south of the border with a little Tijuana heat.
