National Pizza Day – February 9th

Make, it Order it, Just have Pizza

Or as I like to call it,
No Cooking Tonight, it’s Ordered!
February Fun Holiday’s

I did a bit of research to why National Pizza Day and I am pretty sure it’s a retail pizza owner started holiday and I love that.

Something about crust, sauce and cheese ! Add something fresh on top and you have me at hello. Remember, pizza has been around since the 10th century and here in American since 1905.

Most information I found states that you have to have TWO slices to be officially celebrating…and that’s easy ! LOADS of shops in our area have specials, look around, go, eat or make it at home.

Happy National Pizza Day 2023

It’s Whipped Cream Day

Husband’s birthday is on Christmas day and like just about every year (and this one), angel food cake, strawberries and whipped cream.
HAPPY Whipped Cream Day !

January Quilt Block of the MONTH

Today is International Coffee Day

Coffee is one of things that makes me HAPPY ! And then add an International Day of Coffee and Celebrate ! It’s fantastic!

I did a bit of reading from this site, National Today: Around the 700s AD, a herd of goats started acting strangely, almost as if they were dancing. Their owner, Kaldi, discovered that they were eating a sort of red bean and concluded that was the cause of their behavior. Kaldi decided to share his findings with a monk who required something that could help him to stay awake all night as he prayed; but another story claims that the monk refused and threw the beans into the fire and the pleasing aroma that came from it was just wonderful. HERE

So, take a moment, Oh, take an hour and have your favorite cup of coffee and know that everything is going to be right with your day.

I’m going to link somethings here today, I have and use them all. I’ve taken coffee as a bit of a hobby. I read my post back and it turned into a bit of a commercial,
I don’t do these….but it’s COFFEE DAY ! ! AND I know of what I speak!
This is for cold brew coffee and I make it for an afternoon treat.

This coffee frother is wonderful, whipped or hot cream, I have used half and half, whole cream, coffee creams, but my favorite it, Almond milk, cinnamon and vanilla, first on the whipped/heated setting and then whip it with no heat. Perfect.

I use both a pot and a pod…A nightly decision for me. Yes, I plan my coffee!

This was a gift last Christmas and I LOVE it!

This is my third Keurig and the one I like the most

So, the Festival of Sleep is all about the bed for me. I’m one who can shower, make my dinner, eat it in bed, read a book, work on my lap top, have television on and complain after hours that I have to get up and clean out ! To go to bed ! I love a good bed !

ENJOY Festival of Sleep today ! Over the years you have seen my bed in all different combinations.
