Good 41º dark foggy morning.
Yesterday it was sooooooooooooo cloudy and dark (looks the same today)... I want sunshine!!!!!
We finally did get some sunshine and we heated to 55º.
Special day today, my granddaughter Alex is celebrating her
22nd birthday. HAPPY BIRTHDAY PRETTY GIRL....... aka Jelly Bean!
Alex and I when she was just over a year old.....
Amazing that so many in my family are born on special days...
Today is Epiphany or Three Kings Day (https://www.timeanddate.com/holidays/us/epiphany)
Alex's brother Jack was born on Income Tax Day (4-15) as well
as Jerry's son Aaron. We always teased that it was apropos for them born on 4-15
as 415 is a police code (LASD) for "disturbance"! LOL.
My Kristen born on Halloween, as well as Jerry's dad. My Brian
born on Valentines Day, as well as Jerry's mom and my sister Marion's husband
Bill. My Mom's birthday became the day the war with Japan ended, August 15, and
my birthday is VJ Day, when the treaty was signed with Japan on board the USS
Missouri. My Dad's birthday, March 16th, was the day the Marines raised the
American flag at the battle of Iwo Jima. Not the day he was born, because he was
born in 1901. Grandson Tucker born on September 20th, the date the Star
Spangled Banner was published in 1814. And lastly, daughter-in-love Jen was born
on 7-11.... Oh thank heaven for 7-11!!!
Historically this date...
1912 – New
Mexico is admitted as the 47th U.S.
state.
1994 – Nancy
Kerrigan is clubbed on the knee at the U.S. Figure Skating Championshipsin Detroit,
Michigan.
And births this date include....
On 17 March 1990, Capucine jumped from her eighth-floor apartment in
Lausanne Switzerland, where she had lived for 28 years, having reportedly
suffered from illness and depression for some time. Sad.... she was such a
beauty and a good actress!
I published this on my blog a couple years ago... and still LOVE making them....

Now if you like pesto,
like I do!, you would love these simple Pesto Garlic Rolls:
2 cans refrigerated
biscuits (Grands)
4 oz Mozzarella cheese cut
into 20 equal cubes
8 oz jar basil
pesto
4 T melted
butter
2 cloves
garlic
Cut each biscuit in half,
flatten dough. Spread a t. of pesto in center of dough, place Mozzarella cube on
top, pinch sides around cheese so the pesto and cheese are completely encased by
the dough.
Place stuffed dough balls
in a cast iron pan.
Crush garlic and mix with
melted butter and brush the garlic butter over each ball.
Bake 400º for 20 minutes
or until dough is golden. Serve warm. OMGOOOOOOOOD!!!
(Thank Goodness for Grands
biscuits!!!!!)
If you don't like pesto,
no need to put it in, or you can substitute a little marinara sauce, or sweet
chili sauce, or
enchilada sauce
Sriracha sauce
salsa verde
oyster sauce
cut up anchovies
barbecue sauce
Use whatever floats your boat.

Then chair, wine, and TV with Bruiser napping in my lap!
All I know. Nuff said. Happy Saturday. Ciao.

January 06, 2018 is
Three Kings Day
Today is Three Kings Day! Three Kings Day (or The Epiphany)
is a Christian holiday that commemorates the biblical story of the three
kings—Melchior, Caspar, and Balthazar. The three kings (also known as the Wise
Men or Magi) followed the bright star of Bethlehem to bring gifts to the Christ
child.
In Latin America, children dress up in king costumes and go
door to door in their neighborhoods singing carols in the days leading up to
Three Kings Day. In Argentina, sweet wine, fruit, and milk are left outside for
the three kings and their camels to enjoy. In France, people eat Galette des
Rois, or "king cake," which has a trinket or bean hidden inside of it. The
person who receives the piece of cake with the trinket becomes the "king" for
the day!
Three Kings Day always falls at the end of
Christmastide—also known as the Twelve Days of Christmas! Traditionally, this is
the day when all Christmas trees and decorations are taken down. Happy Three
Kings Day!
