It’s official – today is the first day of fall. Of all the seasons, I think I love Autumn best. Spring is wonderful with all it’s colors. Summer is too hot, winter too cold. Autumn is just right. Colorful, warm during the day, crisp at night. It just makes me feel all cozy inside.

As you can imagine, I get an in-box full of recipe links every day. One of the things that I’ve noticed is that site after site has a been actively promoting throw back recipes. And not just here’s something nostalgic from twenty years ago. No, these are Depression Era recipes to stretch the family food budget or recipes your grandmother swore by in the 1940s with rations and shortages.

Before we get into why this day is special, let’s get a few other National Days out of the way. The first would be the official birthday of the United States Air Force. While the Air Force was first formed on August 1, it was a part of two existing branches of the military. So while historically the creation of the Air Force is August 1, it wasn’t yet an independent branch.

“Kiddo,” Hubby called out on a recent Sunday morning as he tapped on Kiddo’s bedroom door. “Breakfast is ready. Whatever weird stuff she’s cooked up is on the table.”

Today is National Cinnamon-Raisin Bread Day. I gotta tell ya, I got all excited. After all, Cinnamon-Raisin Bread makes some of the best French Toast. Yeah, just one little problem – we did French Toast last time around.

Mary suffered greatly during the passion and death of her son, Christ Jesus. It was because of this suffering that she was given the title Our Lady of Sorrow. Recognizing her suffering has been a part of the Catholic Faith almost from the beginning.

On September 13, 335, the Church of the Holy Sepulcher, in what is now the Christian Quarters of the Old City of Jerusalem, was dedicated. The following day, the cross that Empress Helena had discovered 15 years earlier on that day, was venerated in a solemn ceremony.

Today is National Kids in the Kitchen Day. In my opinion, spending time with our children in the kitchen is one of the most important things we can do. It’s a way of creating memories, passing along a little family history and teaching life skills.

It should come as no surprise that Catholics hold the name of Mary in high regard. After all, Mary is the Mother of God, our Heavenly Mother, the New Eve. In many cultures with a heavy Catholic influence, Mary, Marie or Maria are often the name chosen for daughters.

Here we are – singing the praises of TV Dinners once more. You would think that we’d be serving up slices of turkey, cornbread stuffing, peas and sweet potatoes, the original offerings in 1953. We aren’t – and for very good, personal reasons.

Depending upon which calendar you use, on the National Front today is Care Bears Share Your Care Day (yeah, a mouthful), National Teddy Bear Day, National Wiener Schnitzel Day or I Love Food Day. With the exception of Wiener Schnitzel and a love of food, the other National Days aren’t exactly edible.
