Today we celebrate National Pennsylvania Day. Pennsylvania became the settlement of an Englishman named William Penn, a Quaker, who founded the British Colony for religious freedom. The name Pennsylvania is a combination Penn’s family name and Latin that together mean “Penn’s woodlands.”

Have you ever had Caviar? I mean the real deal – the stuff you need to take out a second mortgage on your house or postpone your child’s college education to buy. Okay, maybe it’s not that expensive, but it’s certainly not cheap by any stretch of the imagination.
