Presenting Our Lord

Today we celebrate the Feast of the Presentation of Jesus Christ. It is also the Feast of the Purification of the Blessed Virgin Mary or the Feast of the Holy Encounter. This all stems from Jewish teachings, traditions and law.

Loving Comfort in a Cup

Today is reason to celebrate for two very good reasons. It’s our daughter’s birthday, her 5th heavenly birthday. It always surprises me how I waite for an ache that never seems to come.

A Cajun Classic

In case you didn’t know, I’m a lover of Cajun Cuisine and the tastes of Louisiana. It’s a unique blend of food styles. A little French, some Spanish, Haitian and African spices with a little Native American thrown in for good measure.

Fresh Is Best

Kiddo took his plate with a burger and fries along with the shake from the refrigerator and wandered back down to his room. He has quite the setup there – with multiple computer screens and a boom mic for gaming.

The Feast Day of Saint Thomas Aquinas

Today is the Feast Day of Saint Thomas Aquinas. In the past, I seem to share recipes for Blueberry Pancakes to celebrate this particular day. And with good reason, since it’s also National Blueberry Pancake Day.

Delicious Weeknight Ease

Another couple of years and Hubby will be retiring. We’ve been talking about packing our bags at that point and hightailing it out of California. Don’t get me wrong. We love living in our little part of the state at the edge of the Gold Country. There are so many beautiful little towns to meander.

So It’s Not a Lobster

Today is National Lobster Day. How convenient, since it is also a Friday. Lobsters are great served as part of a Surf and Turf ensemble. But on their own, unless you are dining at The Palms, the tails are way to small for a meal.

Did You Say Pie?

Oh my yes, please! Recently we came home to find a flyer on the door. It was from a girl scout who was going through the neighborhood selling cookies.

Oh Yeah, That’s Good!

What it is about Southern Food Day that makes me crave fried chicken. I know, there’s more to Southern Cooking than just fried chicken. Yet it ranks right up there among my favorite things to eat.

Oh Beautiful Lady

Today is the Feast Day of Our Lady of Altagracia. In the Dominican Republic, it’s also a National Holiday. If every Feast Day were a holiday, then every day would be a holiday.

A Great Man Once Said

I have a dream. Standing on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial before a crowd of over 250,000 marchers Martin Luther King Jr. shared his vision of the future.

Things I Learned from Dad

Way back in 2018, one of my earliest posts was for Country Corned Beef Hash and Dirty Fried Eggs. Before I shared the recipe, I posted a picture on Face Book of my breakfast and got a lot of questions about Dirty Fried Eggs.
