Today is a very special day for those who feel a special connection to Mary. It is the Feast Day of Our Lady of Sorrow. The pain Mary must have felt watching her Son die in such a horrific way.

This Feast Day goes by many names. It is observed in various Christian faiths outside of the Catholic Church, although its roots are purely Catholic.

Oh how I wish I had kids in the kitchen just one more time. My babies are all grown. My great grandbaby lives up in the hills, several hour’s drive. We don’t see her precious little face nearly as often as we’d like to. When we do, it’s at a park or a restaurant since they have a house full of cats and Hubby is severely allergic.

Today within the Catholic Church, we celebrate the Optional Memorial of the Feast of the Most Holy Name of the Blessed Virgin Mary. Wow – that’s quite the title for a optional Memorial, the lowest possible ranking for a feast.

Recently on a warm afternoon in early September, Hubby and I walked over to the community pool. There we were joined by the usual group of retired ladies. The conversation eventually rolled around as it often does to matters of faith.

When the first TV Dinners débuted on the food scene in 1953 it was a way to get rid of surplus turkeys. While convenient in the sense that all the little woman need do is warm it in the oven, these frozen tin trays could take upwards of an hour to cook.
Continue reading “Not Your TV Dinner”I love Food Day!
In case you haven’t noticed, I love food. So glad we have a National I Love Food Day to celebrate all the goodness of food. While we do need to eat in order to fuel the body, eating is meant to be more – it’s meant to bring joy. Why else would God have given us taste buds?

The Torah refers to Eve as aim kol chai, “the mother of all life”. Aim is the root word of Imma or Ema, the Hebrew equivalent for mom. To restore mankind once again to a state of grace, God first needed a New Eve. She would bring forth our savior, Jesus Christ.

Today is both the 7th day in September and the 1st Saturday of September. That means it’s New Hampshire Day and Tailgate Saturday.
Continue reading “A Saturday in New Hampshire”It’s Food Bank Friday
Hubby and I feel blessed each Saturday morning as we shop for the week’s groceries. I’ve spend the days or weeks leading up to any shopping trip researching and refining recipes to test drive. Not once is it necessary to think cost.
Continue reading “It’s Food Bank Friday”Saint Teresa of Calcutta
Today is the feast day of Saint Teresa of Calcutta. As Catholics, we are encouraged to strive for sainthood. While that’s a lofty goal most of us will not obtain, we are truly blessed to be surrounded by inspiration. Mother Teresa is one such example of what it means to give all for the Lord.

Did you know that the Macadamia Nut has both a month long celebration in February, but an entire day – and that would be today. As it turns out, the symbol of Hawaii isn’t even a native of Hawaii. It’s a transplant from Australia.

Hey there – are you ready for another Tijuana Tuesday Special? While the rest of the world might be embracing Taco Tuesday, in our house anything with a Mexican Flair counts. And that’s good since today is also National Baby Back Rib Day.

Today is one of those days that has more than one National implications. It’s one of several days to celebrate bacon. The 2nd of September is the day America officially recognizes the surrender of Japan and the end of WWII.

It’s nearly the end of the season for Farmer’s Markets in our neck of the woods. Not far from our home, just up the road in the little town of Oakdale is the most amazing Farmer’s Market. Held every-other Saturday, there’s more than just vegetables to be had.
