Today is National Liqueur Day. That is not to be confused with Liquor. The two are not the same, and therefore aren’t interchangeable. I’m not going to bore you with all the differences or technical terms. Simply put most Liqueurs are sweet, most Liquors are not.

What can I say – I’ve been in a nostalgic frame of mind for a while now. If you were to peek in my closet, you’d see what I mean.

One morning as Kiddo stood in front of the refrigerator, reading the menu posted for the week, he asked why can’t we have stuff we like, that you’ve made before. I will admit, not everything I make is for blogging, but most of it is.

Happy Birthday Charlie Kirk! Unless you live under a rock somewhere or ignore the push on Social Media to flood the world with Red Shirts today, you already know it’s Charlie’s 32 birthday. To celebrate this, his first heavenly birthday, I thought we might bake a cake.

The day that is past must not judge the day that is present, nor the present day judge that which is past. It is only the Last Day that judges all. – Saint Francis de Sales

When I was growing up, Sundays were different. Today I would be willing to bet the number of families who attend Sunday Services together are in the minority – especially in certain parts of the country. Although studies are now beginning to reflect a return to churches.

Like spring, fall in this part of the country is filled with exciting events. While most revolve around the fall harvests, others are like taking a step back in time – sort of.

Missionaries must understand that they are stones hidden under the earth, which will perhaps never come to light, but which will become part of the foundation of a vast, new building. – Saint Daniel Comboni, 1st Bishop of Central Africa

You know that saying you get what you pay for? This is true for just about anything. Especially food. We all know what a Porterhouse Steak is, right? There’s that yummy side to a Porterhouse and that no so amazing strip on the other side.

Yeah, I know it’s Wednesday and we usually share a margarita meal on Tuesdays. Yesterday was a special day in the Church Feast Celebrations – Our Lady of the Rosary. You know me, faith is above all else. So we just switched things up a bit.

If there is one thing that most Catholics will tell you, praying the Rosary is the most powerful weapon in our arsenal against the evils of the world. The problem is, most of us are lucky to pray a Rosary once a week let alone every day.

Let’s noodle on that. Have you ever heard that expressions? It means to mull something over and come back to it later. Don’t ask me how noodling came to mean thinking. I don’t have a clue, but let’s noodle on that.

It wasn’t until I became a real adult that I realized just how wonderful and blessed my childhood had been. It’s not enough to turn the legal age of an adult – there is so much more growing and maturing to do. Sometimes I think other cultures have it right.

Keep a clear eye toward life’s end. Do not forget your purpose and destiny as God’s creature. What you are in His sight is what you are and nothing more. Remember that when you leave this earth, you can take nothing you have received, but only what you have given; a full heart enriched by honest service, love, sacrifice and courage. – Saint Francis of Assisi
