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.

Welcome to a Tijuana Tuesday
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?

Today is National Navy Day, not to be confused with the US Navy’s actual birthday, which is October 13. So why is Navy Day not celebrated on the Navy’s birthday? Navy Day was established on October 27, 1922 by the Navy League of the United States. It is in recognition of Theodore Roosevelt’s Birthday.

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!

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.
