Throughout the Christmas Season, we are bombarded with images that have so little to do with what is important in the grand scheme of things. Big ticket items and rushing about to be the first on the block with the latest electronic whatever. So much of Christmas is lost in the process.
Cajun Eggs Benedict with Bayou Red Potatoes
If you have been following along for a while now, you know that Hubby and I love craft fairs and festivals in little towns. We call an ag-town home, surrounded by orchards and dairy farms. It’s the biggest little ag-town around and a stone’s throw from some really small western towns.

December isn’t just about the traditional Christmas Holidays with big family meals and lots of presents. As a Catholic, we also celebrate one of my favorite Feast Days in early December, the Feast of Saint Nicholas. Most people today forget that jolly old Saint Nick is more than just a childhood story. Once upon a time, not long after the birth of the Christian faith, a man named Nicholas became the Bishop of Myra. He is the stuff of legends.
Grinch Peppermint Hot Chocolate for Grownups

National Mississippi Day and Southern Eats
Today is National Mississippi Day. The 20th state to join the union, Mississippi is home to the Delta Blues. Mississippi is one of the first states children learn how to spell with a simple crooked-letter humpback rhyme. It’s also how many of us count seconds – one Mississippi, two Mississippi.

The Story of Fish and Chips From Across the Pond
When you think of Fish and Chips, what immediately springs to mind? Jolly old England, of course. How much more English can you get? Right? Well, sort of. While Fish and Chips were made popular in England, and from there spread to the rest of the dining world, it’s roots aren’t English at all.

Cute Chocolate Acorns To Save The Day!
Once upon a time in America, the only thing open on Thanksgiving were grocery stores, and only in the morning for all those last minute Thanksgiving emergencies. I don’t know about you, but I’ve had a few. Forgot the butter for the rolls. Forgot the yeast for the bread or the whipped cream for the pies.

Irish Pub Bangers and Mash with Onion Gravy
Not far from our home in the valley, just up into the rolling foothills is the town of Murphys. I’ve talked about this sleepy little hamlet before. There’s an Irish Pub on every corner. What would you expect from a mining town with the name Murphys? And in between those Irish Pubs are wine tasting rooms. Vineyards are the new gold of the Mother Lode.
