My! My! My! It's Pie! Pie! Pie! Not just any pie but this pie is filled with blueberries, or star berries as the Native Americans called them. The humble blueberry is one of few blue foods, one of nature’s super foods, and one that is native to the Americas. The state of Maine is the larger producer of blueberries in the world with more than 60,000 acres being farmed. In the United States and Canada, harvesting season can run from early May in the warmer portions to the end of August in the northern-most area. Via Sharla Shults

"Many foods and recipes were originally established strictly for purposes of serving at breakfast. Some found their place as a brunch staple. Through the decades, times have changed and what was once considered a breakfast food or dish has become quite universal when it comes to time of day for serving/eating. Via Sharla Shults

At first glance, this next celebration might appear to be one of the few non-sweet days. That is, of course, if you overlook the dark brown sugar, molasses or honey. Then, more likely than not, the next thought will reflect upon Thanksgiving or Christmas. However, there is no written or verbal law, stating that you can only enjoy this specialty's nice and crispy caramelized sugar-coated outside skin in November or December. Via Sharla Shults

Do you remember the milkman? I am going to date myself and answer, "Yes, I do!" Only my experience was not with a milkman but a milkWOMAN! Her name was Mary Emma Coachman, the decade 1950s. We will step back in time to 1879 in a moment but first... Via Sharla Shults

"The sound of the 80s - totally tubular! The 80s' hits defined the MTV generation with pop classic songs that are still considered 'tubular' after over 30 years on the airways. If you don't recall the term 'tubular', it was used mostly in the 80's, or by people mocking the 80's, to describe something 'awesome' or 'excellent'." Leslie Sebastian Charles, aka Billy Ocean: The biggest black recording star Britain has ever produced Via Sharla Shults
Skuuppilehdet's insight:
Billy Ocean is a Trinidadian-born English recording artist. He was the most popular British R&B singer-songwriter of the early to mid-1980s. Selling over 30 million records in his lifetime, Billy Ocean has hit the No.1 spot with hits across the USA, Australia, Germany, Holland, and of course, the UK. His success spans both as a recording artist and a songwriter.

National Mousse Day occurred on November 30 with the opportunity for Moussing the Pumpkin & More. Now you get to mousse it up again, this time the light, airy dessert boasts yummy chocolate! During the 1800s, chocolate mousse was a specialty in French restaurants and is probably the most popular mousse to this day. In the 21st century, it can be found in restaurants and prepared in home kitchens worldwide. Let's celebrate! Via Sharla Shults

"It's never too late in the day to learn something new, especially when that something is a necessary 'connection'. The most popular is probably found on a pair of blue jeans. That is, unless you prefer the skinny, latex pull-on styles that hug your hips and legs like a glove. You know, the 'candle' pants...those that you feel like you were melted and poured in. For today, however, we'll stick with those that necessitate the zipper. Via Sharla Shults

The myth than garlic deters vampires is commonplace thanks to Hollywood and popular literature, so today "Vampires, beware!" Did you know it is also thought to protect against the evil eye and to ward off jealous nymphs said to terrorize pregnant women and engaged maidens? In addition, despite its pungent odor and taste, garlic enhances the flavor of almost any kind of food anywhere in the world and is well known for its diverse medicinal properties. Via Sharla Shults

There are combination celebrations that just don't seem to go together but then, of course, they really are not designated for that particular purpose in mind. Then, upon occasion, a couple just seem to be meant for each other. Such could possibly be case for the upcoming foodie day for when do kids not like cheese, even when they know it is good for them!

Being one of the true GRITS (Girls Raised in the South), it was not unusual when growing up to have fried tarts during any occasion, any time of the day. The best were the fresh apple or fresh pear (hard to choose between those two, really!) However, if life demanded I make a choice, it would be the pear simply because of the pear tree in the back yard! Doesn't get any fresher than that! When I discovered this day's celebration, it's name was not familiar until reading the article Empanada shells make great tarts! My mouth started watering as the memories flooded my brain! 'Delicioso'! Via Sharla Shults

Giddy-up! Common words from a cowboy of the Old West, whether on horseback or the horse hitched to a stagecoach. Yet, none rang out any louder than from the riders of the Pony Express. Back in the days of the wild west, no Fed Ex was available, no Postal Service ran that far west, no planes, and delivery by ship was likely to take months if it ever got there at all. Via Sharla Shults
Skuuppilehdet's insight:
Seeing the need for a specialized delivery service, Leavenworth and Pike’s Peak Express Company took an opportunity to expand into this void. From this important decision was born one of the most iconic pieces of American History—The Pony Express. No event in American History has captured the imagination of young and old alike, more than the excitement created by those young riders and their horses, as they rode across the western half of our continent.

A kid's staple in the brown-bag school lunch, as well as an all-time favorite snack, is the peanut butter and jelly sandwich, aka the PB&J. Of course, the same can be said for some adults since the PB&J has no age limit. That's because you get a lot of calories in a hurry when your energy level has bottomed out. Plus, it just tastes grr-r-r-reat! Via Sharla Shults
Skuuppilehdet's insight:
Since the day someone spread peanut butter on one slice of bread and jam (probably homemade) on another slice of bread, then, slapped the two pieces together, kid-dom has never been the same! Even as adults, just the thought brings out the kid in all of us! You just don't outgrow the PB&J. Outrageous ingredients might be added, it may even be fried but the basic premise is still there. No way around it...it is still a PB&J!
