Every year on the 24th day of July, I cannot help but to chuckle. Two National Days come together. Drive Thru Day and Tequila Day. Not exactly the most prudent of combination.

Live and Learn
Hubby and I like to visit “Little Mexico” a few times a year, usually in the spring and early fall. The rest of the time it’s either too blistering hot or too wet to visit this huge flea market just south-west of us. We call it Little Mexico because it’s a lot like visiting Mexico.

Welcome to another Tuesday in my kitchen. While the rest of the world calls this Taco Tuesday, in our house it’s Tijuana Tuesday – so anything with a Mexican flare is a-okay with me.

Baja California is a magical place. There is the beauty of the desert combined with the blues of the ocean. Hubby and I both have a strong appreciation for the desert and the sea. Baja is one of those places that can steal your breath away for so many reasons. The people, the landscape and God’s creatures big and small.

Happy Birthday to me! It’s official, I am now older than the hills. That’s not quite as old as dirt, but getting there.

Today is Chocolate Chip Day. So I bet you were expecting cookies. Yeah, that isn’t want I wanted to do today.

Hard to believe it’s already the last day of April. It’s a bitch to get this old – the days just fly by – racing ahead to the inevitable conclusion of life. Wow, that sounds like a bummer. I just remember when I was a kid, summers seemed to last a lifetime. In some ways they did. Rarely was I the same person at the end of summer as I was at the start.

Okay, so it’s National Shrimp Scampi Day. If you were expecting yet another Scampi Recips, sorry to disappoint. As many of you know by now, the family took an amazing Cruise Vacation. Since we visited both Hawaii and Mexico, I’m in the mood for some Tropical Heat.

Today is National Picnic Day. I don’t know about you, but I simply adore the whole concept of a picnic. Especially one with my Hubby, the love of my life. Unfortunately, he’s really not able to sneak off on a Tuesday. And what fun is there in a picnic spent at his desk?
Continue reading “What a Day for a Picnic”Hey, It’s Burrito Day!
It’s the first Thursday in April. Oh my – April!! The fact that is is already April is a whole other story. As the first Thursday in April, it’s also National Burrito Day. So now you know why this week we had Tuscan Tuesday and Tijuana Thursday instead of the usual themed days.

Sometimes my guys can make me a little bit nuts. But that’s part of the joy of belonging to a loving family – making each other a little nuts.

Just looking at this festive dish and my mind is singling Jose Feliciano’s Feliz Navidad. Such a classic from my youth. I was a free-spirited hippie teenager when that song was released. Wow, and to me it feels like yesterday.

Today is Tuesday, it’s National Comfort Food Day and the Repeal of Prohibition. How amazing is that? I mean, the stars have aligned for us today.

It’s Taco Tuesday. Now I know that yesterday was National Nacho Day, and we didn’t have Nachos. So it seemed fitting that today, Taco Tuesday, we not have Tacos. At lease not in the traditional sense.

Would you believe that today is National Nachos Day? Here’s something even more shocking – we aren’t sharing Nachos today. I know, stunning, isn’t it?
