A Culinary Adventure for the Entire Family
December 3rd is ‘National Apple Pie Day’. Everyone know that there is nothing more American than Apple Pie, but where did the origin of Apple Pie come from? There is more than one school of thought in that direction, but the American Apple Pie probably has its origins in England, where pie making is an […]
Octber 13th is ‘National Yorkshire Pudding Day’. Yorkshire Pudding is not a pudding in the sense that most people think of as pudding. In other words Yorkshire Pudding is not a sweet dessert but rather a very eggy dish very similar to Popovers. Traditionally Yorkshire Pudding baked in the drippings of a Roast Beef and […]
September 26th is ‘National Pancake Day’. I do not know of anyone who does not like Pancakes. Pancakes are an exceptional food and can be made for any meal of the day or just for dessert. Pancakes can be found in many varieties around the world and they are not just made from wheat […]
Friday, August 24, 2012 is National Peach Pie Day. You can either go out and purchase one or you can have the fun of making one or more, especially if you still have ripe peaches on your tree. If you have never made a Peach Pie, follow the recipe at peach-pie/ and make one for yourself […]

NATIONAL FOOD DAYS NATIONAL DOUGHNUT DAY Friday, June 1st is National Doughnut Day. You can either go out and buy some or stay home and make some. Making doughnuts can be fun, if not messy but think how tasty, those Doughnuts, right off the fire would be. I decided to make some Molasses Doughnuts […]
May 25, 2012 When I was at the market today, I noticed that Blackberries and Blueberries were on sale at 4 for $5.00. Since the price was so good and I love Berries, I decided to purchase some. I thought I picked up 2 boxes of each, but when I got home, what do you […]
MY CULINARY DIARY April 29TH, 2012 Having been sort of neglectful on the Diary Front, here is a blog I forgot to post. From the 24th through the 27th we were in Imperial Beach down near the Tijuana Border to do some Birding. We saw 73 different species of birds and added two new ones […]
PICK STRAWBERRIES DAY May 20th Strawberry season in Southern California is year round, but the peak of the season with the best tasting strawberries available is mid to late Spring. That being said, it is probably not coincidental that the Strawberry Festival in Oxnard is taking place this weekend. Oxnard is the chief growing […]
CHERRY COBBLER DAY May 17th May 17th is Cherry Cobbler Day here in the United States. May is a great month for this tasty dish in that in Southern California the Cherries are just coming into season and what better than fresh cherries for this wonderful dessert? Cobblers go back to the early English […]
