Today is National Pasta Day. Did you know that? Yeah, but we aren’t doing pasta today. Why? Because it’s Tijuana Tuesday in our house. Pasta dishes are reserved for Tuscan Thursday. And frankly, I’m in the mood for a margarita!

Best Fast Food Tacos Around
Hello Taco Tuesday! Have you ever had a Jimboy’s Taco? Hands down, one of the greasiest yet most delicious taco to come from a fast-food style eatery. Anyone who has ever had one has gone home and tried to recreate the experience.

Today is National Soft Taco Day. While Pork Tamales are a far cry from Soft Tacos, I’m asking you to stick around anyway. After all, tamales are a Mexican Dish. And when you use Tamales found in the freezer section of your local grocery store, or fresh Tamales from the local Mexican Market, this dinner will come together in a snap.

Sometimes you just gotta wonder. If this recipes seems a little familiar, you’d be right. Turns out a year ago tomorrow, I shared a recipe for Chuck Roast Flautas that was very similar indeed. As a matter of fact, what was on my menu planner was last year’s recipe.

What is a Tostada? I ask because I really didn’t know. Well, I knew but I didn’t know – does that make sense? It’s like listening to someone speak in your native language – the brain understands without thinking. I could make a Tostada without thinking, but if someone asked me to explain a Tostada, I’m not sure I could.

Here it is, a beautiful Tuesday in August. Summer is slipping away faster than I’d rather. Oh don’t get me wrong, I’m not a fan of sizzling heat, but this summer hasn’t been nearly as bad as others. Now I could be wrong, since we are spending more time at the community pool. So maybe it’s just as hot and I haven’t noticed. Hum . . .

Maybe it’s just me, and my somewhat twisted sense of irony, but it strikes me as a little off that Drive Thru Day and Tequila Day are the same day. Really? I wouldn’t think driving and tequila should be in the same sentence, let alone the same day.

Today is a beautiful Wednesday – mid week – and half-way through July. On the National Scene, today is Daiquiri Day. What is a Daiquiri? It’s a pirate drink – rum based, and usually fruity. Some days we are consumed with National Days, staying loyal to all that means.

June is nearly over – can you believe that? Today is Arizona Day. Arizona, one of my favorite states in this vast country of ours.

Recently I celebrated a birthday. Not going to go into too much detail except to say Hubby and Kiddo decided it wasn’t enought to have a single night out, but rather an entire weekend. Wow.

Some National Days are a hit and miss. Sometimes I acknowledge the day year after year, sometime I dip my toe in the water and never return again. Most National Days I’ll acknowledge once or twice, then move on. Others are of particular interest.

All I can say is it’s a good thing today is Tuesday. It’s also Butterscotch Brownie Day. Great for me, not so much for Hubby who is not a fan of Butterscotch. I like to suck on Butterscotch Candies and drizzle butterscotch over ice cream. A Butterscotch Brownie deserved it’s own special day.

Yeah, I know what you are thinking – East meets West must be some sort of strange Asian twist on a Mexican favorite, right? Wrong. In this case I’m talking about a date in History forever dubbed East Meets West.

Admit it, that skillet breakfast looks like a Psychedelic Sunrise, don’t you think? And that’s just perfect since today is Earth Day! Earth Day isn’t just a National Day here, it’s known worldwide.

On March 2, 1861, President James Buchanan signed a bill creating the Dakota Territory. It was vast, encompassing both North and South Dakota as well as Montana and Wyoming. The name Dakota was taken from the Native American tribes who roamed in the area.
