If It’s Tuesday Olé!

Every single day should be celebrated. Monday is mellow. Tuesday is spicy. Wednesday is wild. Just as every moment within a day is equally special. Every breath, every thought, every beat of our hearts. All things are possible because He loved us before time began.

Was This When the End Began?

The Rapture. The End Times. Left Behind. Both Catholics and Protestants are more than familiar with these dooms day scenarios. Both point to the Bible as the one true source for this belief. Catholics and Portestants can read the same scripture, yet walk away with very different understanding.

Torn Between Two Favorites

On the National front today is Drive Thru Day and Tequila Day. It was hard to decide – fast-food or booze? What can I say, the Tequila won out. Yet man does not live by Tequila alone, so naturally I had to spend some time in the kitchen.

Not Just Another Amazing Tuesday

It’s been a full month since our amazing Napa-Sonoma whirlwind get away. You would think some of the food craving would have worn off by now. Our first night in Napa we had dinner at an amazing Mexican restaurant; Los Agaves on the riverfront.

Did You Eat Your Vegetables Today?

Did you know that today is National Eat Your Vegetables Day? So I ask you, does onions, fire roasted tomatoes and a spicy chunky salsa count as vegetables? I know the main ingredient is tomato, which is technically a fruit. Still when we think vegetable, tomatoes do come to mind, right?

Thank the Lord for Sundays

Today is Brown Bag It Day and National Wine Day. Hum, guess some folks will be brown bagging it even if it is a Sunday. For me, it makes no difference now that I am retired.

Choclate, Fry Bread and Cowboys

Today is Nutty Fudge Day. It’s also less than a month from a very big deal birthday for me. Since Hubby wants to take me on a wine train in the Napa Valley to celebrate, I want to look my best for a sassy old broad. So fudge is out.

Just Another Beautiful Day

Last year we skipped the whole garden thing. When we moved into our house, the prior tenants (actually several tenants back) had built raised garden beds in the side yard. Over the years, the beds began to rot and fall apart.

Burrito Day? Naw

Today is the First Thursday in April. Nationally speaking, it’s Burrito Day. Didn’t we just make burritos? Yeah, we did for Nevada Day. My guys would say there’s no such thing as eating too many burritos. Still, variety is the spice of life.

An Alternative to Crunchy Taco Day

Today is National Crunchy Taco Day. Now I love chunchy tacos as much as the next guy. What I love more than the crack of a taco shell is the challange of eating a tostada without getting everying down the front of my blouse.

Tacos for Now and Later

As Hubby and I wandered up and down the grocery aisles, he noticed we were buying more than usual for Tacos. Naturally, he asked why. With a shrug of my shoulders I said tacos for this week and another night later down the line.
