We all have our routines and schedules. Working folks cram responsibilities such as housework and grocery shopping into the weekend. Retired folks can spread it out to suit our particular lifestyles. Since I don’t drive, I am homebound throughout the week. It might sound hum-drum, but it gives me time to get things done at my own pace.

A Blast from the Past
One morning as Kiddo stood in front of the refrigerator, reading the menu posted for the week, he asked why can’t we have stuff we like, that you’ve made before. I will admit, not everything I make is for blogging, but most of it is.

The world seems to be changing. Some see it as a very scary place. Who wants to bring children into this crazy, upside down world? Instead of living in fear and dread, why not look at this as a time of opportunity?

Welcome to National Baby Back Ribs Day! Guess what? We aren’t making ribs. No, it’s gonna be pork chops instead. What can I say? It’s still a pork recipe.

Hooray for the Red White and Blue. Now I know most of you, if you are celebrating Independence Day, you’ve got it together by now. I can’t imagine waking up on the 4th of July without a game plan. Although by the number of people I see wandering about in the grocery store with blank stares, some might have procrastinated too long.

Here we are on yet another Sunday in Lent. Remember, Sundays fall IN Lent, since it would be impossible to remove Sundays from the cycle, but they are not OF Lent. One little word can make all the difference.

Here we are, at long last we’re reached the Crowning Glory. One of my very earliest attempts at Gourmet Cooking was a wine reduction sauce. Now it’s something I can do with my eyes closed. Although as accident prone as I am in the kitchen, that’s probably not a good idea.

Today is the 6th Day of Christmas. In years gone by, we’ve celebrated the 12 Days of Christmas. Not this time around. Four years running is enough, don’t you agree? If you still need your 12-Day fix, check out postings from the past.

Today is National Cookie Day. Now I don’t know about you, but on those rare occasions when I’m busy baking cookies, the last think I want to be bothered with is the details of supper. Yet my guys still need to eat, and they deserve a delicious supper at the end of a long, cold day.

Maybe it’s that Okie influenced childhood of mine, but anything cooked up in a big cast iron skillet just calls out “homespun goodness”. I don’t care what you make in a cast iron skillet, from fried chicken to Southern Biscuits, it just brings a sense of comfort.

In the greater scheme of things, Hubby and I rarely fight. Kiddo might beg to differ, but he only hears us from his room when voices are raised. When we do fight, it’s brief. Usually our spats begin because one of us was in a foul mood in the first place.

Welcome to the 5th Sunday of Easter and National Blueberry Pie Day. Some people are awesome bakers. While my family enjoys my pies and cakes and other goodies, I prefer to begin with boxed mixes and commertial pie doughs. My sister, Linda, is the true baker in this family. I’d much rather strut my stuff with the main course.

February is fading fast into the rearview mirror. March is nearly upon us. On the National Food Front, today is National Pistachio Day. Did you know that Pistachios aren’t actually a botanical nut but rather are legumes like chickpeas and lentils? Yeah, I didn’t know that. Learn something new every day.

Today is the Second Sunday in January, the second Sunday in Ordinary Times. Every year on the Second Sunday in January, we are encouraged to sit down together as a family and partake in something that was once commonplace – the Sunday Supper.

Recently, as Hubby searched through the big freezer in the garage, checking off what we had from the shopping list, he reminded me that we have some beautiful, thick cut pork chops. I need him to give me a nudge every now and again, because I forget.
