Fat Tuesday-2022

Mardi Gras means "Fat Tuesday" in French, and is the celebratory carnival that leads up to the beginning of Lent. The name "Fat Tuesday" refers to the practice of consuming all of the food forbidden while fasting during Lent, which begins on Ash Wednesday. Meat is traditionally abstained from during Lent which is where the word "carnival" is originally derived from, meaning "the removal of meat."

Kitchen Table Love Potions

Food and mood are intimately connected. With the romance holiday right around the corner, how can we tap into choices that will elevate our game? Research shows that eating a healthy nutritious diet can play a major role in boosting your sex drive and that certain food and drink enhance libido by increasing the sex hormones testosterone and estrogen thus improving blood flow to all the right places.

Martin Luther King Day

Martin Luther King Jr. Day (officially Birthday of Martin Luther King, Jr.,[1] and sometimes referred to as MLK Day) is a federal holiday in the United States marking the birthday of Martin Luther King Jr. It is observed on the third Monday of January each year. Born in 1929, King's actual birthday is January 15 (which in 1929 fell on a Tuesday). The holiday is similar to holidays set under the Uniform Monday Holiday Act. The earliest Monday for this holiday is January 15 and the latest is January 21.

The Unwanted Orphan Who Built a Legacy of Kindness

This week, we welcome the new month of Shevat. The beginning of the book of Deuteronomy records that Moses “began to expound the Torah.” Rashi explains that “expounding” means that Moses translated the entire Torah into 70 languages. He began to do so a little more than a month before he passed away, on the first day of Shevat.

"Ghost of Christmas Present, Named Del"

2022 starts in less than 29 hours...and I wanted to get one last thought in for the year. As I pulled up to a stop sign, I noticed one of the homeless men at the side of the road. I grabbed my wallet, thinking "at least I can make someone's Christmas a bit happier." On the outside was written "Merry Xmas + Happy New Year" I tried again to hand him the bill. "No, ma'am. It's my turn to wish you joy ... and a Merry Christmas." With that he walked back to the spot where he originally stood.
