Topped it all with some Parmesan cheese.
   OMGOOOOD!! PERFECT!!!! I could eat a zillion of those mushrooms!

Later it was chair, wine, TV

All I know. Nuff said. Happy TBT. Ciao.

December 22nd
National Date Nut Bread Day (Yummmmmmm)

Enjoy a tasty bread for the holidays. It's the perfect bread for the season. It contains nuts and sugar, but is not heavy on the sugar. Date nut bread is quite popular. You can make it yourself, or buy some at the bakery. We suggest a couple of loafs. In our house, a single loaf does not last long.
There is some question as to the correct date for this special day. A survey of the net, resulted in roughly half of the references for this day claiming it is on September 8th. In our survey, a very slight majority record this special day on December 8. We go with the majority for two reasons: First, it is the majority. Second, this day fits well in the holiday season. Date Nut Bread is popular for the holidays.
Get your fill of Date Nut Bread today. After all, that's what this day is for.
