Today is Nutty Fudge Day. It’s also less than a month from a very big deal birthday for me. Since Hubby wants to take me on a wine train in the Napa Valley to celebrate, I want to look my best for a sassy old broad. So fudge is out.

Today is National Washington (State) Day, Shrimp Day and a beautiful Spring Saturday. I don’t know what spring is like in your neck of the woods, but here in the low-lands and rolling hills of California’s Gold Country, Spring Festivals are in full swing.

Okay, maybe not that far back, but you get the general idea. I’ve been so busy lately that I didn’t plan a proper Friday Share for today. Rather than skip a day (today marks 1,510 consecutive days together), I thought I’d reach back a few years and shake the cobwebs off a recipe we’ve shared before. More on that in a moment.

New England Style Street Fair Dogs and a Coke
As I prepared for today’s share, I found myself deep in prayer. Dear Lord, I’ve never suceeded at making New England Hot Dog Rolls before, please let this time be a charm. Saint Honoré, patron saint of baking, do what you can to guide me.

Today is Lemonade Day. Now stay with me here. Lemonade made me think Lemonade Stand or better yet Sweet Tea Stand. Sweet Tea made me think Southern. Where did that lead?

Welcome to another Tuesday. Now typically Tuesdays are all about something yummy from Mexico. While not exactly Mexican, think of this as Mexican adjacent or inspired. After all, it’s made with Mexican Mudslides.

Oh my – that means just one thing – something delicious for breakfast. After all, man cannot live by bread alone. Nor can we survive with just a single glass of liquid sunshine.

Today we celebrate the feast day of two of Christ’s Chosen apostles. Why are these two men remembered together? The obvious answer would be that they were both Apostles. If that were the case, why not have a feast day for all twelve and be done with it?

Our Friday reprieve from abstinence is behind us now. While we are still celebrating the Easter Season, the laws governing Friday Penance and Observations have once again returned.

It’s hard to imagine that we’ve reached the first day of May. I swear, the older I get the more quickly time seems to move. It’s a strange feeling to realize you have far more to look back on than you do days ahead of you. Nothing is taken for granted anymore.
