A Breakfast Tostada So Good

That you could almost eat it for dinner. I said almost, and that’s why I’m sharing a recent Sunday Breakfast on Tijuana Tuesday. Oh but today is more than just Mexican foods. It’s also National Pickle Day and Spicy Guacamole Day.

A Simple Supper for a Special Event

Today marks 962 days straight without missing a day of posting. Is that a big deal? I don’t know. Posting is a lot like eating peanuts – once you start, and get on a roll, you just can’t stop.

Sail Away on a Taco Boat

It’s Taco Tuesday. Now I know that yesterday was National Nacho Day, and we didn’t have Nachos. So it seemed fitting that today, Taco Tuesday, we not have Tacos. At lease not in the traditional sense.

Autumn and Smoky Chicken Salad

On the National Stage, today is Candy Day. I don’t know that I understand Candy Day four days removed from Halloween. Perhaps its out of respect for All Saints and All Souls and to give parents a chance to sort through the candy. In any case, Happy Candy Day!
