If you’ve been around a while (thank you!), you know that I plan our meals well in advance, taking into consideration National Days for this little Blog of mine, as well as the bigger Holidays and Feasts. Knowing that National Pie Day was looming, I decided to bake up a Galette to honor the day.

While I don’t believe in the possibility of prior lives, I do wonder about the possibility of inheriting memories. Just where are memories stored? And if a memory is strong enough, can it be passed down? Something to think about.

Today is the feast day of our Lady of Altagracia, Our Lady of Grace. In some parts of the world, especially in the Dominican Republic or neighborhoods with a large Dominican population, this feast day is a Holiday.

Today is National Cheese Lover’s Day. For Kiddo and I that is a reason to celebrate. We love cheese. Our idea of a snack is a nice Charcuterie Board.

Let’s get the personal things that really matter most out of the way first. Happy 90+++ Birthday to my Dad. I love you always and a day.

Today is National Gourmet Coffee Day. What’s the point of brewing up a cup of Gourmet Coffee without a delicious Gourmet Coffee Cake to serve with that extra-ordinary cup of Joe?

Now I don’t know about you, but to me Eggnog is just an excuse to drink a little brandy. Either that or create some incredible breakfast dishes, with or without the brandy chaser.

And it’s also a Friday, so you know what that means – something from the sea. Thought we’d really go on an adventure – to Costa Rica. Personally I’ve never been except in my dreams.

When Hubby and I were first married, his mother reached out to me as the Holidays drew near. She wanted to get her new daughter-in-law something nice for Christmas. We were strangers, having never met. When it came right down to it, her son and I were strangers.

Do your remember the Smoked Turkey we shared for the Feast of Holy Innocents? Yeah, we smoked that turkey on Thanksgiving. This year it was just the three of us for Thanksgiving. So that 10 pound smoked bird gave us a lot of leftovers.

Have you ever heard the expression Everything But the Kitchen Sink? Years ago, before we got too old and stiff to sleep on an air-mattress, Hubby and I liked to camp. Okay, I loved to camp, Hubby loved to hike although he would have preferred a bed and a shower at the end of the day.

After all the hustle and bustle of the pre holiday season, the holiday season and the post holiday season, I’m ready for some mellow time. I will say, packing up the Holiday Decorations was so much easier this year. We limited ourselves to just three themes.

In the secular world, Christmas is but a single day. Wow, so much work for just a day of celebration! Many Catholics celebrate the full 12 Days of Christmas. While others still see the Christmas Season as ending with the Baptismal of the Lord.

Recipes are as vast and countless as the stars. I think of the culinary arts as gifts from above. Something had to spark the human imagination. Why else would anyone eat snails floating in warm butter or put fish eggs on toast?

The room was dark except for the flicker of light from the large TV screen. Outside the winds howled, whistling down the chimney. Evening was upon us and soon the door to the garage would swing open. When it does, the love of my life will fill the entryway with his 6-foot 4 frame. All these years later and just thinking of him makes my heart skip a beat.
