On December 1, 1955, during a typical evening rush hour in Montgomery, Alabama, a small, unassuming woman took a seat on a city bus.

Spicy Taco Tuesday
Oh how we love Tuesdays in our house. I’m not sure if that’s because my guys are fans of all things Mexican and Spicy, or if it’s the Margaritas that they love so much. One thing is certain, most Tuesdays are pretty darn festive here.

Wow – what a difference a year can make! On this day last year I gave all my reasons for not following the National Calendar to celebrate Baklava Day (too dang early in the year) and why I wasn’t baking bread on National Home-baked Bread Day.

Nearly every site that tracks and promotes National Days tells us that tomorrow is National Taco Day. Yet there is one lone site that promotes Taco Day today. And not just any taco, but soft tacos. If you ask my guys, nearly every day should be taco day. And those that aren’t are pizza days.

We’ve shared a number of delicious Sunday Suppers over the years. We’ve talked about the history of Sunday Suppers and the practical reasons behind it. Sunday Suppers were once intended to do two things – take time to prepare and provide leftovers.

Wow – can you believe it? It’s the last day of July. Oh my, summer is nearly over. Typically by now we’ve had our annual vacation. This year, we’ve postponed travel to the final days of summer. More on that later – road trip through five states and some much needed time spent with extended family.

Wow – today is one very busy National Stuff Day. We’ve got Drive-Thru Day, Cousins Day, Amelia Earhart Day, Cowboy Day, Thermal Engineer Day and my personal favorite – Tequila Day. Now up until a couple of weeks ago, we could have easily combined Drive-Thru and Tequila Day. During the stay-at-home orders you could get food to go from your favorite Mexican Restaurant that included bar service. Yeah, crazy.

Just as Saint Patrick’s Day brings out the Irish in all of us, Cinco de Mayo has a similar cultural effect. Instead of pints, we consume shots. Instead of Corned Beef, it’s tacos. Just as most of the newly born “Irish” of Saint Patty’s Day have no idea what they are celebrating, most think Cinco de Mayo is Mexico’s 4th of July.

It’s Tuesday – and for some that means Taco Tuesday. According to Wikipedia, Taco Tuesday is an American custom of going out to eat tacos.
