Today is National Sausage Pizza Day. May as well call it National Hubby’s Favorite Pizza Day. When it comes to pizza, while he might eat a Pepperoni Pizza when offered, if he were in charge of ordering a pizza, it would be Sausage with Mushrooms every time.

Yeah, I know, it’s Columbus Day. So where are all the celebrations? The history? The purely Italian dishes? Like so many things in America, Columbus Day means a day off for some, long hours for others and great deals on bedroom furniture. It makes no sense.

Today is National Pierogi Day. Now I will admit, I didn’t really know what Pierogi were aside from a dough filled with mashed potatoes. And while that is part of the story, it’s only part.
