Today is National TV Dinner Day. TV Dinners are one of those “you’ve come a long way, Baby” ways of getting foods conveniently from the freezer to the table for a home-cooked meal. While Swanson was the first to bring packages meals to the consumer in 1953, they were not the first to consider the possibility.

Today we celebrate a traditional Austrian Dish. Today is National Wiener Schnitzel Day. How ironic that American has National Days for dishes that are not governed by strict laws in this country. While the label may say Sparkling Wine, most of us do not realize that to the rest of the world Champagne must be made from a particular grape, from a particular part of the world and processed in a particular way. It’s the laws.

Impossible pie is oh so fitting for today’s recipe share. As a Catholic, I need to acknowledge that today is the Nativity of Mary. She was the Immaculate Conception, born without sin. Miracles do happen.

New Hampshire, the Granite State, may have been the 7th state to join the newly formed Union, but it is first in so many things throughout its history. The first to grow potatoes, the first to establish an independent government and create its own constitution.

Tomorrow is the First Monday of September. Wow – September already! The first Monday means tomorrow is Labor Day. And Labor Day signals the unofficial end to summer. A summer that never was in the first place.

Today is the first Saturday in September. Traditionally, it is National Tailgate Saturday. This year, what few sporting events that there are in American have banned spectators. No spectators means no pre-game parking lot extravaganzas. And even if tailgating were permitted, there are other problems that might not be so easy to overcome.

If you’ve been following along, you know that in July my guys and I took a road trip to the Oregon coastal town of Florence. We stayed at our favorite resort. Perfect beach access with spacious rooms and suites complete with fully functional kitchens. In this day and age, a room with a kitchen is a must.

Mary Poppins is a magical English Nanny who happens to travel on the East Wind. She first appeared in print in 1934. Over the next 54 years Mary would appear in eight different books, beginning with the original Mary Poppins story and ending in 1988 with Mary Poppins and the House Next Door.

Although a day late, I’ve got our tables all decked out for September.

For the rest of the world, V-J Day is August 14-15 (depending upon which side of the date line you’re on). It marks the day Japan announced their surrender. In America the “Official” V-J Day is September 2, when Japan signed the surrender documents. In 1995, President Clinton referred to the 50th anniversary of American’s official day as “the end of the Pacific War” rather than V-J Day.

Yep, it’s National Chicken Boy Day. I gotta tell you, I never had the opportunity to eat at his restaurant. In all my travels to Southern California, I’ve never seen the giant Chicken Boy and until recently, had never even known of him. But now that I know he exists, I find Chicken Boy strangely fascinating.

Today we celebrate the unique landscapes, bold personalities and rich history of the Palmetto State, South Carolina. South Carolina was the 8th state to ratify the U.S. Constitution and the first to vote in favor of secession.

Sunday Chicken doesn’t need to be Southern Fried or Roasted. Both are delicious, but sometimes we like to kick back with a creamy one-skillet supper. Easy, relaxed and delicious. This is one of those moments.

One of the benefits of a harmonious union between two people who are not alike is that you can help one another grow. Grow as people, discovering new things. While surrounding yourself with people of strong opposing views can be both frustrating and exhausting, being with people who are just like you in every way would be boring as all get out. Enough differences to make life interesting. Enough compatibility to let love grow.

Today is National Red Wine Day. As it turns out, this isn’t the only National Red Wine Day on the calendar. The other is October 15. Most think of red wine as a cool weather harvest drink, which explains the original celebration in October. However in 2013 wine-lover and freelance writer, Jace Shoemaker-Galloway created Red Wine Day as a late summer celebration. He felt why wait?
