What can be better than a TV Dinner when you don’t feel up to cooking? One that is made by you. I don’t know about you, but rarely can I make a dinner without some leftovers. Sandwiches, burgers, hot dogs – those I can make for a one-and-done supper. The rest? Impossible.

What Does Spaghetti Bring to Mind?
When I was a girl, I thought big plate of Spaghetti was the most romantic thing ever. What else was I to think? My generation grew up with Walt Disney. One could argue that Disney was different way back when, but the reality is that Disney continues to be exactly what it always was – a mirror.

When I was a girl, we ate a lot of spaghetti. Mom made the sauce from scratch and let it simmer all day in a big cast iron skillet.

Hubby and I have been together for nearly 40 years now. That’s a lot of suppers shared together. In all those years, with all those meals, he has always let me know what he’s thought of dinner.

It wasn’t that long ago that we talked about Pasta Carbonara. It goes by many names, and one of those happens to be Coal Miner’s Spaghetti. That got me to thinking, today is National Elise Island Family History Day. Many of the Coal Miners of America were immigrants or decedents of immigrants. There is no denying America is a country built on the backs of Immigrants.

What is Carbonara? I ask because today is International Carbonara Day. We’ve shared a couple of recipes now for Carbonara, but never discussed it’s history. Like most recipes, tracing its lineage isn’t easy.
Continue reading “International Carbonara Day”Leap Year Thursday
Most of us know why we have Leap Years. Our calendar is based on how long it takes the earth to travel around the sun. While the calendar says 365 days, that’s not entirely accurate. It actually takes a little longer. The Gregorian calculation of a solar year is 365.2425 days, and that’s not perfect.

Many moons ago, Hubby, Kiddo and I called Las Vegas Home. It seems a lifetime ago, and in many ways, that’s true. As you can imagine, there are an insane number of Italian Restaurants in Las Vegas, especially away from the bright lights of Las Vegas Boulevard.

Growing up, I can remember my mother had the biggest, deepest cast iron skillet on the planet. Okay, so that is an exaggeration. Nearly every home in our neighborhood had the same skillet. I think it was a requirement of family life back then.

“Now, Therefore, I, Franklin D. Roosevelt, President of the United States of America, do hereby designate December 15, 1941, as Bill of Rights Day. And I call upon the officials of the Government, and upon the people of the United States, to observe the day by displaying the flag of the United States on public buildings and by meeting together for such prayers and such ceremonies as may seem to them appropriate.”

Okay, so Big Bang has ended. Yet, like Friends, old sitcoms never truly fade away. They live on and on in syndication.

Today is National Noodle Ring Day. It’s my first share for this particular day. And I gotta tell you, this is a stretch. The only thing “ring” about this dish is that Ring Pasta was used.

You know me, if it’s Thursday, then it’s Tuscan Thursday. That means anything Italian will do. And as luck would have it, today is also National Herbs and Spice Day. You can’t very well cook Italian without herbs and spices.

Spring is in the air. When asked to pick a season, I always struggle with picking just one as my favorite. I love the colors of springtime. I love the pastels of the season, and the freshness at the table.
