Tis the Season, 55 1275 South, Monticello, KY (2026)

09/06/2026

Tis the Season to celebrate Sunday, September 6, 2026, where today is NATIONAL READ A BOOK DAY, FIGHT PROCRASTINATION DAY, and NATIONAL COFFEE ICE CREAM DAY. Most importantly, though, it is a Day of Worship for many.
Well, we could start with Procrastination, but I would rather wait. For you see, I must sadly say that I am a true PROCRASTINATOR. For example, have you ever heard the phrase, “If it weren’t for the last minute, nothing would get done” …. well, that is me. I truly need to celebrate/participate in Fight Procrastination Day, but time will tell. Maybe I will be more motivated tomorrow……. Oh! No!
However, I will probably find TIME to celebrate National Read a Book Day, for I can usually sneak in some READING time no matter what is needed to be done for said day. How about you? In fact, I am guessing that some of you have discovered you can read almost anywhere/everywhere…….at the lake, in the car (if you are not driving, right?), in the mountains, at the beach, in the bathroom, etc., etc. A book is a friend that can travel about anywhere, and you, creative ones have learned how to sneak in some special time with this friend no matter the occasion, right?
For me, the same can be said for Coffee Ice Cream. In that, no matter what the day….no matter what desserts are on the table…. if you offer me some Coffee Ice Cream…. that will be the dessert I choose. In other words, I love, love, love Coffee Ice Cream! How about you?
So…. how about we do not procrastinate today when it comes to enjoying a book today; I trust it will have a successful conclusion. And do not procrastinate about enjoying your Coffee Ice Cream, either in its solid form or as a shake. AND….and….and if you do not put it off, start tackling that JOB, ACTIVITY, and/or DUTY that you have been avoiding/shuffling for at least a good month……. maybe years. Can you? Can I? Time will tell!
Until we meet again. See you, bye.

Tis the Season to celebrate Saturday, September 5, 2026, where it is NATIONAL CHEESE PIZZA DAY and BE LATE FOR SOMETHING DAY.
Well, I do not know what you had planned for your meals and snacks today, but Cheese Pizza seems to always find a way to fit in nicely. Whether it be a snack today, or one of your main meals, many will be pleased that it is Cheese Pizza Day.
Now, for our other celebration, Be Late for Something Day, how does that feel to you? Is it your normal M.O. to be late, or is being late so against your nature?
I know…. for you that are usually late, why not do a switch-er-roo, why don’t you try to be on time today. What a Novel Idea! Yes, surprise your family and friends. And for you Punctual Fanatics, try it just once….BE LATE.
However, let us not be late in sizing up what September has in store for us. Let’s see; September is NATIONAL POTATO MONTH, NATIONAL PIANO MONTH, NATIONAL MUSHROOM MONTH, NATIONAL COURTESY MONTH, NATIONAL CHICKEN MONTH, SELF-IMPROVEMENT MONTH, CLASSICAL MUSIC MONTH, NATIONAL RICE MONTH, NATIONAL SEWING MONTH, SAVE YOUR PHOTOS MONTH, SELF-CARE AWARENESS MONTH, and several more.
Yes, you can be late today but then get ready to be on time for all of September’s celebrations.
Until we meet again. See you, bye.

Tis the Season to celebrate Friday, September 4, 2026, which is NATIONAL EAT AN EXTRA DESSERT DAY and NATIONAL MACEDAMIA NUT DAY.
Wow, what could be better than eating an extra dessert, with thoughts of calories out the door. You are free to eat that extra dessert without any quilt.
Plus, if another dessert might highlight Macadamia Nuts, you are game for that, too. Not only are you satisfying another sweet tooth, but you are also eating something incredibly good for you. Nuts are nice that way, aren’t they?
Speaking of nice, what else could you do to make this day extra special? I know the weather in my region is asking that we try to stay COOL! Yes, with the HEAT INDEX reaching three digits…. staying cool is what we will need.
Yes, stay safe and cool today…. with the hopes that cooler weather and some rain will soon be in the picture. Yes, hold on to those thoughts.
Until we meet again. See you, bye.

Tis the Season to celebrate Thursday, September 3, 2026, where today is NATIONAL WELSH RAREBIT DAY and NATIONAL BABY BACK RIBS DAY.
First, how does celebrating Welsh Rarebit Day sound? What do you know about this dish? Have you even tried the dish before? Does it sound almost foreign to you? Well, yes, it is Welsh in origin. But once you get in touch with your Celtic side, you will see that it is simply a savory sauce of melted cheddar cheese served over thick slices of toasted bread. Some recipes also doctor up the cheese sauce with Worcestershire, dark ale, mustard, etc. This will just need to be your decision. Since the dish has been around since at least 1725, though, does it need to start appearing on your table, too?
HHHhhmmnn…. will it be easier to talk you into celebrating National Baby Back Ribs Day? Are you a fan of this meaty pork rib cut from the lower back of the rib section? Will you use your smoker or some other method to create this often-favored dish? Are you more of a Memphis Style (dry rub) person, or do you prefer a wet sauce such as the Kansas City Style (sweet sauce of tomato, molasses, and brown sugar)? Last question: will you make your own covering (dry or wet), or will you let a famous barbecue distributor do the honors (Sweet Baby Rays, KC Masterpiece, Cattlemen’s, Buc-ee’s BBQ Sauce, etc., etc.)?
Yes, you decide how you will satisfy your love for Baby Back Ribs today! Why…. since this is going to be one of the hottest days of this year for my neighborhood, you might even decide to visit your own favorite barbecue restaurant allowing them to do the honors. Hopefully, you have plenty to choose from. Yes, I like that choice, it will be a lot cooler.
But you choose….. happy grilling or choosing.
Until we meet again. See you, bye.

Tis the Season to celebrate Wednesday, September 2, 2026, where today is WORLD COCONUT DAY and NATIONAL GRITS FOR BREAKFAST DAY.
Are you a Grits Person? I love them for breakfast, lunch, and supper. You could even talk me into a Grit’s Snack if you served them with cheese or shrimp. I feel that more people would enjoy grits if they would season them well enough with two simple additions…. salt and butter, and of course pepper if you like. All I am saying (with my best John Lennon attempt) is “Give grits a chance!!”
I have talked myself into giving coconuts a chance, too, since in my research for the blog, I see how healthy coconuts are for us. Now, during the day I am going to research it some more because I am not sure if it is the actual coconut or the oil/milk/water (or both) that has the greatest health benefits.
Now, I have always loved coconut cakes, pies, cookies, snacks, etc., but for whatever reason I have not considered their health benefits before. Not anymore, though, since I see so many health blessings (helps control diabetes, boosts your immunity, fights the aging process, increases energy levels, prevents urinary tract infections, good for healthy bones and teeth, etc., etc.).
Who knew when I was eating my mom’s fresh coconut cake where she used the meat of the fruit as well as the coconut water, that I was eating something so healthy? Thanks, Mom. Boy was it tasty, too.
Now, am I going to purchase a coconut today to first pierce the fruit to drain it for its juices? Then am I going to crack open the fruit to grate the meat into tiny pieces….to then bake the cake and top it with a frosting?
I do not believe that is going to happen, but I am going to think of ways to get more coconut and/or its water/milk into my system. I just know that I learned something from my blog this morning. Perhaps you have, too. Plus, maybe…. just maybe I have talked some of you into making a homemade coconut cake. If so, maybe you will be led to share, too.
Yes, let the sharing begin.
Until we meet again. See you, bye.

Hello September, where on this September 1, 2026, you can celebrate NATIONAL PINK CADILLAC DAY, AMERICAN CHESS DAY, and GYRO DAY. September is also NATIONAL CHICKEN MONTH, NATIONAL HONEY MONTH, NATIONAL POTATO MONTH, NATIONAL RICE MONTH, and NATIONAL PIANO MONTH.
First are you wondering how you can celebrate Pink Cadillac Day since you probably couldn’t purchase one, at least not today. How about a trip to Memphis (Graceland, specifically), and see Elvis’ 1955 Pink Cadillac Fleetwood? No, Memphis today: I understand. How about listening to John Prine’s album, Pink Cadillac?
Now, celebrating American Chess Day and Gyro Day will be much easier. If you love Chess, find you an opponent today. If you love a Gyro, you will just have to find a restaurant that serves this Greek American pita wrap delight that many believe was invented in the 1970s in New York City. Or you could make your own Gyro which might require a trip to the grocery to get your pita bread and/or the fixings.
Yes, get ready to celebrate the month of September. AND if you just cannot wait to celebrate Fall until September 22, today actually starts meteorological Fall. However, Mother Nature must not have gotten the memo…. for it is going to be extremely hot thru Saturday. Hot AND Muggy with the HEAT INDEX being 3 digits at times.
Wow, September, what’s up with this??? I guess it’s like the song says……WHEN YOU’RE HOT, YOU’RE HOT; WHEN YOU’RE NOT, YOU’RE NOT!! September, I just look forward to when you are not TOO HOT!! Until then….and….
Until we meet again. See you, bye.

Tis the Season to celebrate the last day of August 2026 where today is NATIONAL TRAIL MIX DAY, NATIONAL EAT OUTSIDE DAY, and WE LOVE MEMOIRS DAY.
Are you ready to write? We all have a Memoir in us because they are simply a narrative composed from firsthand experiences. Often, it is an account of something noteworthy. For example, it might be the birth of a child, or landing an amazing job, etc.
I wonder how many folks that have been impacted by Covid have chronicled their story, too. In years to come, these stories will help generations to come to realize how from 2020 through at least 2022, the world truly took notice of the virus…. that at times, looked as if had the power to shut down aspects of our world.
However, if you would rather write of joyful memories, I hope you have an array of happy memories to record. So, on this day, why not start putting them on paper? This way, you and your family can continue to enjoy your experiences and memories.
Speaking of experiences, how about enjoying some Trail Mix today, too. And while you are at it, why not take the Trail Mix outside. Actually, while you are at it, I hope you can take a bounty of food outside to enjoy, since this is National Eat Outside Day. How about a pre-Labor Day picnic?
Trail Mix, however, is a suitable place to start with your food bounty since it dates to 1910 when it was recommended by outdoorsman Horace Kephart as the perfect camping food.
I must say, though, that Trail Mix recipes have certainly expanded since Mr. Kephart’s Trail Mix. In fact, he might think we take too many liberties with our recipes (maybe too much candy).
However, I am sure your Trail Mix is a family favorite and today it could serve not just only as a great snack (inside or out), but as great fuel as you are working on your Memoir. We ALL have a story to tell!
Yes, fuel up and write on!!
Until we meet again. See you, bye.

Tis the Season to celebrate Saturday, August 29, 2026, where I have a question for you. Does Chop Suey hold any interest to you?
Yes, you guessed it; it is National Chop Suey Day. According to Foodimentary, Chop Suey is a Chinese American dish invented in the United States. It is felt that Chinese immigrants (whether it was railroad workers or miners in San Francisco, California in the 1840s), would take leftovers (tsap seui in Cantonese) to make this delicious dish.
Being Americans, we have altered the dish so much during the years that the original creators might not recognize their dish now. But hopefully, we will honor the traditional purpose of the dish and ADD our leftovers to the mix.
Could we, however, (for at least today) be encouraged to ADD less salt?
Say what?
Yes, dear friends, today is also MORE HERBS, LESS SALT DAY!
Oh! My! It hurts me to even type this celebration. For you see, I am a SALT NUT! To me, it truly is the Spice of Life……at least the key spice in my kitchen. (Plus, salt plays a key role in helping our bodies absorb and retain water….so we will not become dehydrated.) However, HOWEVER, I realize, for health reasons, some folks might need to monitor their salt intake wisely!! So, if HERBS can help make a dish delicious without jeopardizing one’s health……maybe it is time to shake up our Spice Rack at least for today. All I am saying is GIVE SPICES A CHANCE!!
Let the shaking begin.
Until we meet again. See you, bye.
