On this slightly sunny, somewhat cool, and lightly rainy afternoon of FRIDAY MAY 22nd, it’s another day to indulge in a great classic on NATIONAL VANILLA PUDDING DAY … dive in and enjoy as is, or feel free to great creative!
Greetings, My Lovelies, on this cool, rainy, & blustery day. I’m not saying that wind is blowing like a B*tch, but if it were snowing outside, we’d be firing up the snowblower in blizzard-like conditions. So what do you do on a day like SATURDAY MAY 23rd? … You seek out comfort food on NATIONAL ITALIAN BEEF DAY, so let’s get rolling, preferably on a roll filled with beef and all the accessories!
And when you’re finished, grab your bad self a fistful or two of salt water taffy, because we are also celebrating NATIONAL TAFFY DAY!
I had my Italian beef today! I’m in the Chicago area so it’s a requirement LOL
Place by me had a beef+fries for $7.99. That’s a good $4 or so discount compared to regular price.
Good Day, My Lovelies on TUESDAY MAY 26th … If you’re really serious about getting your minimum daily requirement of 56 cups of fruits and vegetables per day, then this IS your day, or … if you just want something sweet to eat, dive in and get started on NATIONAL BLUEBERRY CHEESECAKE DAY & NATIONAL CHERRY DESSERT DAY !
I love cherries!
My favorites are cherry pie and chocolate covered cherries.
I have been known to start the day with a cup of this delightful little gem, or enjoy an iced coffee in the afternoon.

THURSDAY MAY 28th … Start making your lunch and dinner plans ASAP, my lovelies, for an All-American Holiday … NATIONAL BURGER DAY … !
Would you like fries with your burger ?
Grilling some Rastelli steak burgers tonight!
Picking up Bacon & Cheddar pub burgers on today’s grocery run. I am so ready … ![]()

It’s a beautiful, warm and sunny day, and who feels like cooking … but if you want the real deal drag out your favorite dutch oven and whip up a little chicken dish on FRIDAY MAY 28th officially designated as NATIONAL COQ AU VIN DAY. Anyone interested?
Need a little something on the side? May I recommend freshly bake homemade biscuits on this NATIONAL BISCUIT DAY …
It’s a beautiful summer day, my Lovelies, and we’re gonna celebrate the nuts out there, as in hazelnuts, on MONDAY JUNE 1st, NATIONAL HAZELNUT CAKE DAY. Care to join me … ?
Ah, Yes !
Looks delicious! yum!
So my Chicago is gonna come out again. I bought enough beef sandwiches during Italian beef month to get a nice points bonus from my local place. So I got a free one today. Probably will get another one end of this week.
But to get to the point. I don’t indulge in sweet treats much anymore. But I will still have enough points to get the famous “rainbow cone.” I am so looking forward to it!
“A combination of Chocolate, Strawberry, Palmer House (New York Vanilla & cherries), Pistachio Almond, and Orange Sherbet.”
The Rainbow Cone is truly a thing of beauty and a work of art !
i love it! never heard of this. superman ice cream supposedly originated in my state of michigan. if you’re not familiar google a photo. it’s so colorful!
