Slow Down for Sunday Supper

Can you believe we are already half-way through November? Only two more Sundays remain in the Liturgical Year C of Church. Soon we will begin all over again in our Gospel Readings. It only took us three years. I don’t know about you, but I really don’t remember Sunday Gospels from three years ago.

Just a Splash of Wine

Today is National Liqueur Day. That is not to be confused with Liquor. The two are not the same, and therefore aren’t interchangeable. I’m not going to bore you with all the differences or technical terms. Simply put most Liqueurs are sweet, most Liquors are not.

Just a Quiet Saturday Barbecue

Way, way back a long time ago when I was much younger, people told me I looked like Valerie Bertinelli. I never did see it.

Just Thinking Ahead

I know what you are thinking, it’s Friday – where’s our fish supper? Sometimes we need to post early, think ahead. The weekend is coming. Wouldn’t a nice supper be welcomed?

The Luckies Man Alive – Really?

About a month ago, while scrolling through Face Book I saw that a somewhat recognizable actor turned house flipper had wished his somewhat recognizable wife turned interior designer a Happy Birthday. How nice.

A Simple Supper for a Special Event

Today marks 962 days straight without missing a day of posting. Is that a big deal? I don’t know. Posting is a lot like eating peanuts – once you start, and get on a roll, you just can’t stop.

A Special Sunday in September

We can thank President Jimmy Carter and Marian McQuade for National Grandparents Day. While it can be argued that this “made up” holiday is really the brainchild of the Greeting Card Industry, the value of grandparents should never be overlooked.

The First Thursday in May

It’s been a while since I’ve had a good rant. I know I’ve been sharing my faith daily in both little ways (the passages at the end of each post – most are part of our daily readings), and in big ways, acknowledge days of great religious significance. For me personally, today’s recognition as National Day of Prayer really doesn’t affect me. Every day is a day of prayer.

Burgundy Pork Tenderloin

Today California Wineries are considered to be good producers, making decent award winning wines. Had it not been for prohibition, California Wineries would be among the best in the world. Developing the vine takes time. Prohibition brought a halt to that in many ways.

Reasons to Celebrate!

Eighty Nine years ago today, the 21st Amendment to the US Constitution was ratified, thus repealing the ill-fated 18th Amendment. In other words, Prohibition was over and the bars threw open their doors (legally) once more.

Apple Mash Roasted Pork Tenderloin

Tomorrow is Apple Cider Day. It also happens to be a Friday. Since I’ll be sharing an amazing Fabulous Fish recipe for a Catholic Friday tomorrow, I thought it would be nice to share something with Apple Cider today.

Celebrating German-American Day

Today is National Mad Hatter Day. Doesn’t that sound like a fun day? Get a little crazy, wear mad hats and have a tea party. So why aren’t we doing just that? Because today also happens to be German-American Day. I adore Weiner Schnitzel. However; this year National Weiner Schnitzel Day happened to fall on a Friday. We all know what that means in my old school Catholic house.

Slicing Up a Delicious Sunday

Coming up with recipes to share, for the most part, is easy. Look to National Days for inspiration. Holidays practically write themselves. While other people read romance or mystery novels, I read cook books.

Mushroom Pork Scaloppini over Egg Noodles

I just found out that today is National Presidential Joke Day. Interesting. I would say that every day is a Presidential Joke, but that would be rude. So I think I’ll just say “no comment”.

Politics and a Pork Tenderloin Supper

Welcome to the 9th day of September. It’s National Teddy Bear Day, National Care Bears Share Your Care Day, National Boss-Employee Exchange Day and National Wiener Schnitzel Day.
