Before we get to cooking, I want to wish my bouncing baby boy a very happy 50th Birthday. Wow, that kid is old! Oh wait, I guess that makes me even older. Love you sweetie!

You Had Me at Barbecue
“You had me at hello” is an expression coined in the 1996 film Jerry McGuire. It’s meaning is clean – no need to say more to convince you of something. You had me at barbecue is just a way of saying I’m all in for the food and socialization of Barbecue.

Hubby and I both grew up in small towns. His home town is still a small town. Mine has been swallowed up in more ways than I can count by the greater Sacramento area. You really can’t tell where Sacramento ends and the once quaint cow-town of Elk Grove begins. It’s the same if you head north – Sacramento and Roseville-Rocklin are just extensions of one another.

Hey there – are you ready for another Tijuana Tuesday Special? While the rest of the world might be embracing Taco Tuesday, in our house anything with a Mexican Flair counts. And that’s good since today is also National Baby Back Rib Day.

Welcome to the Summer Solstice. Today begins the official, as in on the calendar, beginning of summer. But we’ve known summer was here since Memorial Day, when we all filled our propane tanks, got that wood for the smoker and made sure there was plenty of charcoal in the bin.

Say something nice. If you don’t have anything nice to say, don’t say anything at all. Speak kindly. We all know the playground rules and how to play nice. Although as we get older, those rules seem a little harder to follow, don’t they?

Did you know that today is National Baby Back Ribs Day? Seems we’ve been eating a lot of ribs lately. Not long ago, I made Braised Short Ribs served on a bed of Pureed Potatoes. There’s a story behind that, and I’ll share it when I share my recipe.

Today is 7th Sunday of Easter. Since moving the Feast of Ascension Thursday to Sunday, Catholics throughout the world are celebrating Christ’s Ascension into heaven at today’s Mass.

Welcome to the 16th day of May. Mid May. A day filled with possibilities. On the National front, there are nine different celebrations to choose from. It would be impossible to bring all these celebrations together for one massive party. I mean, how can you celebrate National Barbecue Day, Piercing Day and Sea Monkey Day with a single event?

Tomorrow is Father’s Day. In the past, a number of my Father’s Day posts have been complete menus – from the appetizers to the desserts – all favorites with the menfolk. This year, tomorrow’s post is going to be a bit different, especially for me.

I can think of a host of reasons to be bummed during this Pandemic Isolation. I miss all the weekend fairs and festivals, especially the little Farmer’s Markets and Antique Street Fairs. I miss walking about up in the foothills, exploring all the quaint little mining communities. I miss wine tasting and the fellowship of Sunday Mass.
Louisiana Slow-Cooker Baby Back Ribs
The best part about living in Central California in October is the weather. The days are pleasant and there are street fairs everywhere. Take a drive up through the foothills, look at the colors of the trees and attend a dozen little small town events in a single weekend.
It’s Baby Back Rib Day!
Is today National Baby Back Rib Day? Who knows! I’ve seen the date as yesterday, September 2nd, while most listings claim that September 3rd is the actual dates. Personally, I don’t care so long as I get to eat some ribs. Any day we enjoy ribs is National Rib Day in my book.
Slow-Braised Ribs with Cilantro Orange Barbecue Sauce
I have got to tell you, I am not sure which I liked better, the rub on the ribs or the barbecue sauce. Both are excellent. Both have that sunshine citrus flavor. Finger-licking good. Oh yeah!

It’s National Have a Coke Day
Today is National Have a Coke Day. You know me, I like to bend the rules just a little. It’s hard to “have a coke” when you don’t drink soda. Once in a blue moon, I might have a Pepsi, or a root beer with a slice of pizza, but this isn’t National Drink a Soft Drink Day, it’s Have a Coke. Did you know that a man by the name John Pemberton invented Coca-Cola at Pemberton’s Eagle Drug and Chemical House in Columbus, Georgia? It was intended to be a patented medicine of some sort. However; a businessman named Asa Griggs Candler dominated the world of soft-drinks by marketing Coca-Cola as a soft drink rather than a medicine. Makes you wonder how many other medications out there might serve us better with a shot of bourbon and a twist of lime.
