My husband and I both awoke this morning in rare form! Laughter is ever present in our household but this morning was different. Ever been so tired you became 'punchy'? Everything you saw, everything you said seemed funny and you laughed at the silliest things almost to the point of hysteria like running on high from too much caffeine. That's us today and would you believe it led to the topic of conversation being chicken."

Today's History Lesson
The history lesson for today steps back in time to one of the first automobiles, not the very first but the first of its kind. While today's founding does not carry the Made in America label, it certainly had a impact on America still present in the 21st century. As styles and technology evolved, the 'classic' became the 'new' but if you want a 'fun' new Beetle, buy the 'classic'!

Today's History Lesson
In the 21st century, on the average not much thought is given to how one might travel from one place to another. Automobiles are commonplace with many households making claim to more than one. Then, there are the boats, buses, trains and planes, as well as the recreational vehicles. Travel has not always been so convenient. In fact, picture no more than feet, horse and wagon.

Not every 'recipe' has a spot on the food calendar two days! What's coming up is really good if you like French cuisine, especially poultry cooked with wine. Why? Because this IS the second time around to bring France to your table. March 22 marked celebration of Coq Au Vin Day, not to be confused with National Coq Au Vin Day which is today.

It is not summer yet but definitely right around the corner. When you think summer, you envision hot steamy days with thoughts of anything cold...iced tea, ice cream, and of course, Popsicles! The flavors are many increasing each year as new ideas come to fruition but it still hard to beat the traditional, the classic, the any kid's favorite.

There are always some foods that just don't tempt the palate from first mention or sight on the menu. Perhaps it is just the thought of such possibilities actually being edible. This is true for some raw and some cooked.

Pizza Party Day
Who doesn't lo♥e pizza? It's hard not to lo♥e something that is so versatile and can be crafted just the way YOU like it! A certain food you don't like? Just leave it off! Bread is lo♥ed by just about everyone with its coverings being your own taste delights! Like Brussels sprouts and bacon? Bring 'em on! Build a Cast Iron Skillet Brussels Sprouts Bacon Pizza! What about sweet potatoes? Try the Sweet Potato, Balsamic Onion and Soppressata (Italian dry salami) Pizza! Toss them all in the mix! You may even prefer Butternut Squash, Sage Pesto And Prosciutto Pizza. Like mentioned in the beginning - the choice is yours to add or not to add!"

"I must admit when I was in school, my least favorite subject was history. Not for a moment could I see any relevance in memorizing what occurred on this day in that year and that date in this year, in this decade and that decade, from one century to the next. Perhaps the problem was no more than simply memorization...memorize, memorize, memorize only to regurgitate fact after fact in order to pass a test! Never was a connection made to how this day in history connected the past to the present nor how it laid the foundation for people, places and things yet to be.
This Day in History: May 10, 1877" Abraham Lincoln pioneered government use of the telegraph during the Civil War. Lincoln’s successor, Andrew Johnson, had the first telegraph room built in the White House. On May 10, 1877, President Rutherford B. Hayes had the first telephone installed in the telegraph room of the White House.
