Food that looks like octopodes and frogs and penguins. Bon Appetit!
The fun of a blog is what you can share. Earlier in the week, we had some fun with the weiner octopodes, so I went through my files to find a few more edible creatures. My favorite is the penguin and igloo but nobody can resist a fat green bull frog. Now naturally this looks like a Christmas treat but the igloo is cream cheese formed in a small bowl. This recipe has blue … [Read more...] about Food that looks like octopodes and frogs and penguins. Bon Appetit!

Chocolate Covered Raisins Day is a great excuse for a treat! I like chocolate covered raisins.

JAMES MADISON’S BIRTHDAY – FREEDOM OF INFORMATION DAY
JAMES MADISON'S BIRWe all keep learning. I didn't know that James Madison's birthday, today, is also observed as Freedom of Information Day. That's because the Fourth President of the United States, born in 1751, said some very important things. One thing I don't want to do in this spot is talk politics. This blog is to be a focus for reasons for daily celebrations. But … [Read more...] about JAMES MADISON’S BIRTHDAY – FREEDOM OF INFORMATION DAY
March 15 The Ides of March – Don’t Turn Your Back Day
Brutus Day, the Ides of March. Not such a good day for Julius Caesar, but you know how it is. Somebody wins, Somebody et tus. Lots of other reasons to celebrate today.

He was much smaller when he was born, and he didn’t … [Read more...] about March 15 The Ides of March – Don’t Turn Your Back Day
Happy Birthday, Albert!
TODAY IS ALBERT EINSTEIN’S BIRTHDAY. HAPPY BIRTHDAY ALBERT. Albert asked lots of questions I never even dreamed needed asking so it’s fitting that today is also International Ask A Question Day. This is our day to ask life’s imponderable and pretty much unanswerable questions. Or even ridiculous and dumb questions. Like, “How did you get all ruined like that” as one of the … [Read more...] about Happy Birthday, Albert!
MARCH 13 IS KEN DAY! LET’S STAY KENNECTED.
HERE IT IS! THE DAY WE’VE ALL BEEN WAITING FOR BREATHLESSLY. Take a breath now. Only four days ago we celebrated Barbie Day and now today is KEN Day. Ken came along two years after Barbie, and it’s a funny thing that although generations of outraged Moms have complained about Barbie’s super frontal endowment giving their daughters a poor body image, this same group … [Read more...] about MARCH 13 IS KEN DAY!

Well, here’s swell news. Today, March 11, is World Plumbing Day. How’s that for a treat. Don’t get me wrong. I’m crazy about plumbing. When we lived in Taiwan we didn’t have any, and we certainly missed it. And we were on a cobra route. This is true. There was no plumbing leaving the house - or coming in. In the kitchen, there was just a hole in the wall for the dish … [Read more...] about
