Do you like Escargot? I do, but only if it’s swimming in butter and garlic. Brother Dear told me it’s not the Escargot I love, it’s just a legitimate means to get butter and garlic into my mouth. Hum, he might just have a point.

Are you familiar with Chicken Soup for the Soul? Originally the brainchild of a pair of motivational speakers, the Chicken Soup book series was a collection of inspirational true stories told by ordinary people.

Why is this so confusing for some people. Veterans Day indicate more than one, as in all the veterans. Veteran’s Day means the day belongs to a Veteran. Hum, maybe we should call this Veterans’ Day, as in a day belonging to all veterans.
Continue reading “Veterans or Veteran’s”Marching Marines and Corned Beef Hash
This is our 4th year to honor the US Marine Corp on this their National Day. Unlike the prior years when we’ve managed to incorporate Vanilla Cupcake Day and the deep Dress Blues of Blueberries into our recipe share, this year is more a grunge thing.
Continue reading “Marching Marines and Corned Beef Hash”Louisiana and Southern Pork Chops
Today we celebrate the state of Louisiana. I know in the past we’ve concentrated on New Orleans, if for no other reason than the food. After all, when I’m not sharing my Catholic Faith, I’m all about the food. And while flavorful, rarely do I worry about a healthily diet. My motto has always been all things are good in moderation. Life is far too short not to be savored.
Continue reading “Louisiana and Southern Pork Chops”Friday Night Pub Special
Friday Night and Pubs just seem to go together, don’t they? The only problem with pubs is the notice level. Maybe it’s just me but when I like to go to dinner, I also like to have a conversation with the people at the table with me. Pubs are loud.

We didn’t see the leaves change in the San Joaquin Valley until the first of November. Autumn sure took its sweet time getting here. Now I’m doing a happy dance in the red leaves that will be gone tomorrow.
Continue reading “First Thursday of November”Now That’s a Little Different
Here we are at a Wild Card Wednesday. Gotta love Wednesdays, when anything goes. So why not Mexican Oven Fried Chicken? My guys loved this. Great for finger foods, game night, or a less than traditional Taco Tuesday.

Before we get into all the Foodie Things, let’s take a moment to breath. It has been one very crazy election cycle. I feel like this election has taken four years to get here. Unfortunately, with this country so divided, whatever happens at the end of today, it’s far from over.
Continue reading “Stir-Fry Chinese Take Out”A Simple Weekday Supper
Maybe it’s that Okie influenced childhood of mine, but anything cooked up in a big cast iron skillet just calls out “homespun goodness”. I don’t care what you make in a cast iron skillet, from fried chicken to Southern Biscuits, it just brings a sense of comfort.

Recently I came across a recipe for Omelette Muffins utilizing bacon bits. It inspired me to create my own rendition of this simple concept.
Continue reading “A Spicy Sunday Morning”Pray for Those Departed
November is traditionally dedicated to prayers for those in purgatory. Many devout Catholics worldwide will visit the graves of the departed on All Souls’ Day.
Continue reading “Pray for Those Departed”Is It Time To Decorate Yet?
Over the years, Hubby has allowed me (or put up with) my obsession for all things Christmas. From watching every sappy Hallmark Movie ever made, to hunting down ugly sweaters and insisting everyone wear one to matching PJs when Kiddo was a wee one. Love it all.
Continue reading “Is It Time To Decorate Yet?”O Blessed Be the Saints
Today is the first of November. Before we get into all that this Day of Holy Oblation holds, I want to touch on the theme of November. Each month throughout the year, the Church has attached a theme. October, for example, was the Month of the Rosary.

It makes perfect sense that October 31 – Halloween – would be National Caramel Apple Day. When I was a little girl Trick or Treating was very different from today.
