Today is National Maryland Day. Before we get into all the contradictions that are Maryland, let me first acknowledge that today is the Feast Day of Saint Bartholomew, the Apostle. Perhaps we’ll celebrate his Feast Day in detail another time. Today is about Maryland.

While the unofficial end to summer isn’t until Labor Day and the official end of summer is September 22, for all practical purposes, summer is over. When schools open for a new year, that’s the true end of summer.

When it comes to Mary, many non-Catholic Christians find the reverence Catholics hold for Mary difficult to accept. They struggle with the Immaculate Conception, the reference of Mary as “Mother of God”, the Assumption of Mary into heaven. But the most difficult is the Coronation of Mary as Queen.

Coming up with recipes to share, for the most part, is easy. Look to National Days for inspiration. Holidays practically write themselves. While other people read romance or mystery novels, I read cook books.

It seems we spend a lot of time celebrating National Days or honoring our Great States while sharing delicious recipes. While that’s all well and good – Lord knows we love yummy inspiration – sometimes it’s nice to just cook for the sake of cooking.

One day as Hubby and I did our weekly Saturday Morning shopping, I became excited – shrimp was on sale. I love a good buy on seafood, especially shrimp. Hubby shot me a look.

No recipe this time, just pictures. If you’ve been following along, you know that Hubby and I put in a hot pepper garden every year. The best part about the garden is that we have fresh peppers at our finger tips.

Today is National Fajita Day. And that brings me to the burning questions – which came first? Was it the Chicken Fajita or the Steak Fajita? And as long as we are asking, just where did the whole Fajita concept come from in the first place?

Massachusetts is rich in history and steeped in many of America’s firsts. The First Thanksgiving, the first telephone, the first post office and the first subway system are all a part of Massachusetts’ history.

Today is National Bratwurst Day. To me, it seems so wrong to celebrate Bratwurst in August. September makes more sense. Or October, when Football is in full swing. But not August.

Within the Universal Catholic Church worldwide, there are 10 Holy Days of Obligation to attend Mass in addition to Sunday worship. However; in 1991 the Bishops of the United States petitioned the Holy See, and were granted the removal of three of the Universal Holy Days of Obligation and to transfer the celebration of the Epiphany (January 6) to the nearest Sunday.

Pretty much for the whole of the world, today marks the day Japan announced their intention to surrender. It marks the end of the War in the Pacific. Today is known as VJ Day everywhere except the good old US of A.

Hello and welcome to the second Saturday in August. Oh my, summer is certainly fading fast! Did you know that the second Saturday in August is National Bowling Day? What’s that – you don’t have a bowling ball? That’s okay, today is also National Garage Sale Day. Bet you can find a used ball cheap. Uh – no!

When there are only three children, it’s obvious which would be the middle child. When there are three girls and one boy, again obvious. But what about four boys? Or two girls and two boys? Would the two in the middle be equally the middle child?

I just found out that today is National Presidential Joke Day. Interesting. I would say that every day is a Presidential Joke, but that would be rude. So I think I’ll just say “no comment”.
