Okay, so in honor of today, I am going to post National South Carolina Day today because I missed the opportunity on August 31st. Better late than never as they say. As stated in the past, we are going to post each state in the order that it entered the Union. Unfortunately, we missed this one. So let’s take a […]
National Be Late for Something Day
September 4th – National Be Late for Something Day is literally screaming my name! I forgot to post National South Carolina Day back on August 31st so this post is to “celebrate” my being late for something (as in posting what I missed). I’m a firm believer (as my mother has always been late for everything, but Dr. appts.) of […]
National Pastor’s Spouses Day
National Pastor’s Spouses Day is near and dear to my heart. I have had three lovely ladies in my life due to Pastors in my life. I can tell you that being a pastor’s wife is as involved, sometimes, as being a pastor. She not only has to support her husband, family, and self, but she also has to give […]
National Welsh Rarebit Day
What is National Welsh Rarebit Day, you ask? Perhaps you’ve heard of its alternate name? In case you haven’t figured it out…..it’s Welsh Rabbit. I have had great fun with this bit of research. In fact, I have learned so much about this dish. Full disclosure: I will be the first to admit that while I did not believe it […]
National Lazy Mom’s Day
Who you callin’ lazy!?! Oh, you say National Lazy Mom’s Day was created just for me? Ok – you can call me lazy. National Lazy Mom’s Day is not really for the literal lazy mom who could actually care less about caring for her children. It’s intended to give the everyday busy mom a break by delegating chores to someone […]
National Burnt Ends Day
National Burnt Ends Day is a fabulous day to get acquainted with our BBQ Dry Rub and BBQ Sauce recipes. Our local Authentic BBQ place has a great offering of burnt ends. They are absolutely mouth-watering. What exactly are burnt ends and where did they originate? They are literally the points of a brisket. However, these burnt ends, when coupled […]
Homemade BBQ Sauce
If you read our post on BBQ dry rub then you may be here to see how it fits into our Homemade BBQ sauce recipe. If so you have come to the right place, my friend! As I explained in the dr rub post, there is nothing more saddening than going to a “specialty” restaurant for a specific cuisine and […]
BBQ Dry Rub Recipe
This BBQ dry rub recipe is for more than just BBQ. I use mine on my oven potatoes. I’ve use it on my pork chops frequently. I even add it to my bread crumbs for a deeper flavor. I also use it in my BBQ sauce. To be honest, this isn’t my recipe, but rather my husband’s as he takes […]
National Diatomaceous Earth Day
National Diatomaceous Earth Day may seem like a useless thing to celebrate, but it’s such a useful product with a wide variety of uses. Let’s take a look at this versatile element. Dictionary.com defines it as a soft, crumbly, porous sedimentary deposit formed from the fossil remains of diatoms. used as an abrasive, as filtration, etc. So what exactly is […]
National Beach Day
This time of year seems like an odd time to celebrate National Beach Day. Typically, things are starting to wind down at the beaches. Kids are returning to school. Parents are grateful for the breather (maybe not all, but some). This year has been unseasonably hot and humid and there’s no end in sight. So National Beach Day is still […]
