Corn on the Cob Day
I love eating corn on the cob. I loved it even when I had braces and had to shave the kernels off after their butter/salt/pepper bath. My corn-eating experience was enhanced at the age of 29 when I watched my … Continue reading
Strawberry Rhubarb Pie Day
I have strawberry stories. I lived next door to a strawberry field, but only temporarily, not forever. I have written before about working at and attending the Plant City, Fla., Strawberry Festival. I have rhubarb stories. The first time I … Continue reading
Chocolate Ice Cream Day
People have all kinds of comfort food. Mashed potatoes, chicken soup, pancakes. Mine is chocolate ice cream. For years, my family only ate vanilla at home. We used it in milkshakes and ate it with chocolate syrup (which I would … Continue reading

Egg Day
Yesterday was Rotisserie Chicken Day and today is Egg Day, so now I guess we all know which came first. I am a late adopter of eggs as a breakfast item. When I was a kid, my dad made bacon … Continue reading

Beverage Day
I used to be a boozy girl. Given a choice, I would choose the cocktail. My mother tells a story of me going around a party during my first New Year’s Eve on this earth and dipping my pacifier in … Continue reading
Truffle Day

Oatmeal Cookie Day
Today is also Honesty Day, when you’re supposed to answer all questions honestly. So here’s the truth: I like oatmeal cookies. I really like them with chocolate chips (but not raisins, which is not the oatmeal’s fault). But I never … Continue reading
Tamale Day
I am of a very pale descent and a very homogenized culture. Growing up, our food traditions were pretty bland, to be honest: Thanksgiving turkey, Christmas sugar cookies, birthday cake, the end. My ethnic background is English, Irish, German and … Continue reading
