A milestone, and pretty in pink
Unbeknown to me, yesterday’s post about Men Making Dinner and Nacho Day was my 500th post on this blog. That kind of blows my mind; I’ve been at this a long time- yes, 2 1/2 years to be exact- and I’m rather prolific with words so really, it shouldn’t come as any surprise. Nor should […]
This is the best food holiday of all!!
November 6th is National Men Make Dinner Day! woot! woot! woot! In my house I do virtually all of the grocery shopping. I’m fine with it, really, as the shopping is something I have gotten down to a science from all those years as a single mother where I had to get through the store […]

I even covered sandwiches recently on this blog HERE, and also HERE. I’m indebted to whoever was prompted to help out the ol’ […]
The incredible Deviled Egg
November 2nd is National Deviled Egg Day; the humble little creamy filled hand held appetizer. So what makes it devilish? Also called Eggs Mimosa, the deviled egg is a common dish in the USA, France and Hungary, and is known as Russian Eggs in Germany, but the origin claims to be from Ancient Rome. After […]
It's November 1st….we know where the bloggers are
I might be a little crazy to feel excited about National Blog Posting Month but there it is, my true feelings. I didn’t even mind the cat’s usual wake-up call at the crack of dawn this morning. Past years of blogging have intrigued me to the principle behind the month but I have never gotten […]
