Corned Beef Hash has always been a favorite of mine – right up there with Biscuits and Gravy. I can remember many a morning (after the bars closed) that we’d head over to an all-night diner for breakfast. Diner Corned Beef Hash was my introduction to the dish.

On a recent Sunday Morning, from the pulpit came a lecture on responsibility. While the Catholic Church has never, and will never endorse one candidate over another, we do hear about the issues. Tangled within a political message was a reminder of Friday Penance.

Today, strangely enough, is National Brandied Fruit Day. Brandied Fruit was made popular during the Victorian Era. People discovered that if you soaked fresh fruit in brandy, it preserved the flavor of fruit while creating a dessert topping for adults.

One of the things that I love about Face Book is when a memory pops up that you might want to share again. Recently a nine-year-old post for a Marinated Steak popped up. This brings me to the question – is it too late to barbecue?

Today is National Pasta Day. Pasta to me is an expression of all things Italian. Once upon a time, Hubby and I loved a little hole in the wall Italian restaurant. It was – how do I put this – reminiscent of a Speak Easy or Private Dinner Club run by the mob.

Growing up, Sunday dinners were either Roast Beef or Fried Chicken. I cannot remember having a roast chicken, but I haven’t a clue why. Perhaps it’s because Pops hails from Oklahoma, with a very southern country boy upbringing. I’m sure somewhere in the south there might be a chicken roasting, but more often than not it’s fried.

Before Vermont became the 14th state in the Union, it existed as an independent nation for 14 years. It became in independent country in 1777. The Vermont Republic existed from January 15, 1777 to March 4, 1791, when it was admitted to the Union as the State of Vermont. During Vermont’s independence, it printed currency, enacted laws including a ban on slavery and established a postal service. Not bad for such a small place.

Today is National Sausage Pizza Day. My guys would be thrilled! But then again, it happens to be a Tuesday. Taco Tuesday – or as we like to call it in our house – Tijuana Tuesday.

The first Columbus Day celebration in America took place on October 12, 1792, when the Columbian Order of New York held an event to commemorate the 300th anniversary of the historic landing. Ironically enough, Columbus never “discovered” North America. His first landing was probably in the Bahamas.
