Birthday must-dos
Steven Crowder put together this beautiful video on American culture, which pretty much sums up how I feel about the birthday girl. Three things every citizen should do today: First read the Declaration of Independence,the whole thing and not just the “life, liberty and pursuit of happiness.” Read every grievance and the names of those […]

A Defense of Cinco de Mayo
Today all the world celebrates Cinco de Mayo, marking the Mexican Victory over the French at the Battle of Puebla on May 5, 1862. Well, actually they don’t. Most of Mexico doesn’t even celebrate Cinco de Mayo. (It’s not Mexican Independence Day. That happened on September 16, 1810 — half a century earlier.) Cinco de […]

A delicious Texas tradition
No reunion, potluck, or picnic in Texas is complete without a Texas Sheet Cake. This is a cake specifically for large gatherings: large, rich, and decadent.

Party like an Egyptian
Today we had Little Miss’s 9th Birthday party. She has been enamored of ancient Egypt for a long, long time. This year she wanted an Ancient Egypt Birthday Party. On the upside, it’s much more interesting than your typical Disney character party. However, it requires a bit more thought, creativity and effort. But she’s worth […]

On the Twelfth Day of Christmas,
I ponder the absurdity of the way in which we have celebrated Christmas. The Advent Season starts the day after Thanksgiving, commercially and the 4th Sunday before Christmas, religiously. For a month or more, we are in the season of preparation. The preparation includes all forms of feasting and decorating and purchasing and performing and […]

Do it yourself birthdays
Being chief cook and bottle washer, the responsibility for celebratory meals–including my own–falls to me. Making my own cake and cooking the birthday dinner is par for the course.
