Today is National Banna Cream Pie Day. Yum! Plus, it gave me the perfect excuse to test drive a new recipe with time to tweak before our final Small Group meeting in a few weeks.

Show us, O Lord, the light of Your kindness
Today is the first of three Ember Days of Spring or the Lenten Season. These are days of old, no longer held in the same high regard as before. They were observed as days of fasting and abstinence. The Ember Days of Spring are movable; as they are observed on the first Wednesday, Friday and Saturday following Ash Wednesday.

When it came time to scramble up these eggs, I must admit, I wasn’t sure. Dill Weed in Scrambled Eggs? Turns out, the dill is not over powering, and lends a touch of something special. Crazy, right?

Do you know how to tell if you are old? Your childhood toys can be found in Antique Shops and the things you remember fondly are suddenly “Retro”. Man, that’s old!

Today is the first Sunday in Lent. Not of Lent, for Sundays are a celebration. The Sundays in Lent are apart from the penance of Lent. Does that make sense? Yeah, we Catholics are a complicated bunch!

Sometimes I wish National Days would follow Catholic Friday Traditions. Today is National Clam Chowder Day. Yesterday was Friday. And not just any Friday, but the first Friday of Lent. A good day for Clam Chowder Soup.

This is not our First Friday of Lent together. We’ve shared four others at Rosemarie’s Kitchen. That said, this First Friday of Lent is different in that it’s the first time we’ve shared a bowl of soup.

Are you a fan of Lasagna? I’ve been making Lasagna for my guys forever and a day, usually in the winter because let’s face it pasta is a bit heavy in the summer. Especially a Lasagna.

Today is Ash Wednesday. It’s one of those movable dates, as is Easter and Palm Sunday. To calculate Ash Wednesday, first you need to figure out Easter, then work backwards.

The day before Ash Wednesday throughout nearly all English speaking countries is known as Shrove Tuesday. To Shrive or to Be Shrove means to confess one’s sins, be absolved, and to receive the advice of a spiritual counselor.

Welcome to the 3rd Monday in February. So is this Washington’s Birthday? Is it a combined celebration of Washington and Lincoln or do we honor all those who have held the highest political position? Yes, sort of and maybe.

Welcome to February 19. Today is the feast day of Saint Julian of North Africa, Saint Baoithin of Ireland, and Saint Beatus of Spain. Who are they? Haven’t a clue, but I’m sure they must have been good men. Catholics have a Saint for every day of the week.

While today is not the official Feast Day of Saint Bernadette, it holds great significance, especially in France. In many ways, you could say that Saint Bernadette has two feast days.

Random Acts of Kindness Day. Yes, there is actually a day set aside to be kind. In some parts of the world, it is observed on November 4 or September 1. Here, where I live in America it is February 17. If you ask me, we should be kind every day. But I’ll take what I can get.

One crisp Sunday morning as Hubby and I drove home from Mass, he asked me what I had planned for dinner that night. Goulash. Hubby was quiet a minute, then asked “Do I like goulash?”
