MY LATEST BAKING PROJECT

Okay, I'm just joking.

Happy Monday, everyone!

Let's make it a great week.

FATHER'S SUMMER

Today is a day to honor, fete and treat the paternal figures in our lives.

Yes, today is Father's Day in the United States of America.

It's celebrated on the third Sunday in June in my country and many others.

But around the world dads are honored on different days of the year.

Here the celebration dates back to 1908 but it had a troubled history with resistance to it by people who claimed it was simply an attempt by merchants to sell more goods.

But in 1966 President Lyndon Johnson issued a proclamation picking the date.

And finally, in 1972, President Richard Nixon made Father's Day an official national holiday.

So on this day, let's all honor our male progenitors.

Oh, and sorry I missed it but yesterday was the Summer Solstice in the Northern Hemisphere.

Summer is officially upon us but the days will now begin to get shorter.

Fire up the grills!

NICE BUNS

I just ate the last of my latest baking project, the one in the middle.

Cheddar Swirl Breakfast Buns

THE FRIDAY FUNNIES

Yea, though I walk through the Valley of Death, I shall fear no evil.

Because . . .

That's it for this week, Gentle Readers.

Now remember, stay home, practice social distancing, wear a mask and wash your hands.

That's not a lot, is it?

Have a great weekend and always keep laughing!

Here, kitty-kitty . . .

(awwwwww)

STATE OF THE NATION

Just a little tease for tomorrow.

WHEN TO BUY, WHEN TO BUY . . .

Johnny Cash has the answer and today's your lucky day!

HUNGRY YET?

Y'know, if I'd have honored all the requests I received yesterday, both in comments here and in emails, I'd have had no cookies left for SWMBO and I.

So, I kept 'em all!

Thanks for the compliments, though.

And thank you to Herself, who encouraged the baking bonanza by preparing a wonderful meal the night before.

Enchiladas Verdes Suizas

and a salad of avocadoes, cherry tomatoes and cilantro.

As longtime ago Mexico residents we love cilantro and, no, it doesn't taste like soap.

What's the matter with you people anyway?
