Jazzin' on caffeine and a good laugh
In my endless research on food holidays and/or food facts to discuss for 30 days, I came across a site called Learn Something New Today and discovered some rather silly and inane things about food. So before we get to National Cappuccino Day and National Harvey Wallbanger Day, let’s have a chuckle. Since it is […]
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 […]
Let's appreciate doughnuts, shall we?

That would be gross. AND, if that’s not enough- these […]
Any day's a good day for a sandwich
But apparently November 3rd is National Sandwich Day. Like I need an excuse to eat a sandwich? Talk about perfect food- press something between two pieces of bread and off you go. 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 […]
