Tails or no tails. So often that is the question. From a pruely presentation prespective, tails on is always a dramatic statement. But when it comes to dining, no tails is a much cleaner approach to eating shrimp.

I love the fact that both National Brave Heart Day and Super Hero Day are celebrated together. It is almost as though they were one and the same. In many respects, they are.

Today is National Prime Rib Day. Now I know what you are thinking, Italian Mac and Cheese is a far cry from a beautiful Prime Rib. And you would be right. While Hubby and I are far from rich, we manage and can even indulge for the right reasons when it comes to the food budget.

When you think of South Dakota, what is the first thing that comes to mind? For many, especially Americans, it’s Mount Rushmore. Today the idea of Mount Rushmore isn’t very popular among the Influencers. Which brings up a whole different conversation – what the heck are Influencers? Oh, but that’s a rant for another day.

Yeah, I know what you are thinking – East meets West must be some sort of strange Asian twist on a Mexican favorite, right? Wrong. In this case I’m talking about a date in History forever dubbed East Meets West.

Today is National Pigs in a Blanket Day, which should not be confused with Pigs in Blankets. These are two very completely different things, neither of which involves swaddling a pig in a blanket.

Today is National Picnic Day. And as luck (or as I prefer to think) God would have it, this year National Picnic Day falls on a Sunday. It’s the Lord’s Day of Rest. What can be more relaxing and restful then a picnic?

Admit it, that skillet breakfast looks like a Psychedelic Sunrise, don’t you think? And that’s just perfect since today is Earth Day! Earth Day isn’t just a National Day here, it’s known worldwide.

Welcome to another glorious Friday. Spring is in the air. Brids are singing, flowers blooming and a delicious Fridy Night supper awaits.

Today is National Upside Down Day – or to be more precise, it’s National PINEAPPLE Upside Down Cake Day. Although I will confess, National Upside Down Day sounds much more intriguing, don’t you think? I had planned to make Pineapple Upside Down Cupcakes in celebration of this day, but life got in the way.

On March 2, 1861, President James Buchanan signed a bill creating the Dakota Territory. It was vast, encompassing both North and South Dakota as well as Montana and Wyoming. The name Dakota was taken from the Native American tribes who roamed in the area.

Spicy Tequila Lime Burgers
As Kiddo put his dinner plate in the sink, he announced to no one in particular that “This was the best burger I have ever had in my entire life”. Wow, considering how many burgers he has had, that’s saying plenty.
