Happy Tuesday Speakies:
Welcome to November, I remember as a kid we always had this day off after Halloween to celebrate All Saints Day. This month we also celebrate two major holidays, Veteran’s Day and Thanksgiving with all that turkey and stuff. In this first week of November we celebrate “Split Pea Soup Week.” I have to say and Roe will agree my mother made the ultimate pea soup; everything was in there except the kitchen sink. The broth was nice and creamy with peas, carrots, potatoes, ham and little elbow macaroni thrown in. I remember she always kept a ham bone after the ham was gone and also used that for extra flavoring.
As far as today goes we celebrate “National Author’s Day” and I must say I will honor today for I am a published author. By the way information on how to purchase my book is on my Blog cover. It was hard to write my book but fun, I admire those authors like Stephen King whose mind comes up with ideas for great books.
All right Guys get ready for this holiday “Men Make Dinner Day.” That leaves me out for tonight, unless Roe wants scrambled eggs, bacon and toast. I always wanted to cook but I know I would make a mess. I’m very proud of my sons who both cook and are very good. Keep up the good work boys and I give all that credit to Roe. To save face tonight if you are not going to cook, maybe a little take-out to bring home or take that Doll of yours out to dinner.
The food of the day is “French Fried Clams.” I remember those fried clams that Howard Johnson’s Restaurant served your plate was filled with those little suckers. I use to order those every time I went there. As far as regular clams go I tried to eat them several times but they were too chewy. Now I loved Clam’s Casino at Crecco’s Restaurant in the Chambersburg section of Trenton. They were slightly chopped, breaded, topped with bacon and other spices and just plain delicious. So Guys and Doll have your clams tonight and a great evening to all.
