They say that opposites attract. This must be true. Hubby and I love each other to the moon and back, and we knew that the first moment we met. Yet in many ways we are opposites.

Today we celebrate the sixth Sunday in Ordinary Times. It is also the Feast Day of Our Lady of Lourdes. Without Our Lady of Lourdes, there might not have been a Saint Bernadette.

Today we are to have a Brownie – preferably one that is a Cream Cheese Brownie, for it is both Have a Brownie and Cream Cheese Brownie Day. Both are wonderful ideas. However; it seems lately we’ve had way too many sweets and baked goods in the house.

One day not long ago I was talking with my Dad about Dirty Fried Eggs. Dirty Fried Eggs are eggs that have been cooked in bacon drippings, and so they look dirty with specks of bacon over the eggs. I mentioned that I like to baste my eggs in bacon drippings.

As you may have already guessed, today is National Iowa Day. So what does Iowa have to do with flying a kite? Darned if I know, it’s just that in addition to National Iowa Day, it’s also Fly a Kite Day.
Continue reading “Go Fly a Kite in Iowa”Four-Course Alfredo Supper
Today we celebrate National Fettuccine Alfredo Day. So I ask you, what is Fettuccine Alfredo? At it’s most basic concept, it is Fettuccine Pasta that has been tossed in a sauce of heavy cream and fine Italian Cheeses. This year, I thought we’d take it one step further.
Continue reading “Four-Course Alfredo Supper”Chopsticks and Sticky Rice
While I was doing a little research on Chopsticks, I came across a site claiming to demonstrate 10,000 ways to use Chopsticks. Are you kidding me? I have yet to master the most basic use – eating.
Continue reading “Chopsticks and Sticky Rice”Chicken Soup is Good for the Soul
Every now and again, I like to reach back – way back – and shake off a recipe that we’ve shared before, although it’s been a while. Today’s recipe is one that we’ve had before, six years ago almost to the day. Oh, and don’t you just love the Soup Tureen?

Good Morning Sunday! I think my favorite day of the week has to be Sunday, for so many reasons. I love it when Hubby and I get up early together. It makes the day seem to linger just a bit. And Sundays should linger.
Continue reading “Diced Ham Scramble with Buttery Texas Toast”Perfect Cast-Iron Skillet Chicken Supper
Today is the first Saturday in February. On the National Foodie Front, we should all be indulging in Ice Cream for Breakfast. To me, that makes no sense at all. Not the first week of February. Maybe July, but baby it’s still cold outside.

Did you know that the Presentation of the Lord, Candlemas, and Ground Hog Day are celebrated on the same day?
Continue reading “Friday Night Candlemas Supper”Luck of the Irish and Saint Brigid
Rarely do we come upon a saint who appears to be filled with a lively spirit such as Saint Brigid of Ireland. She is one of three patron saints of the Emerald Isle, the only woman among the bunch. There are a number of things that must come to pass before a person is declared a saint within the Catholic faith. Miracles is one such requirement.
Continue reading “Luck of the Irish and Saint Brigid”Saint John Bosco To Chase Away the Chills
Today is the Feast Day of Saint John Bosco (1815-1888). He was an Italian Catholic Priest who became the patron saint of children, young people and magicians. He believed it was human nature to desire happiness. He also believed we were looking in the wrong places.

Wherever we may wander in life, there are always special memories of those places in the past. I grew up just outside the tiny town of Florin, long since gone, swallowed between the expansions of Sacramento and neighboring Elk Grove.
Continue reading “Yum! It’s Croissant Day!”Oh My Goodness!
Recently, Hubby let me know that he had a business dinner in the Bay Area for work. He had planned to drop Kiddo off in the afternoon, then drive over for his dinner meeting.
