Yesterday was Cat Herders Day; but what the dedication represents may not be what you think. So, if you missed it, click here.

Yesterday is also a song.

My most favored photo was the of the white rose shown above. All the highlights can be seen here, which will also link to all my photos, should you care to take a look.

Time's Fun When You Are Having Flies

Today, I exhibiting my weird sense of humor. But, it can also be true that time flies whether you are having fun or not; the older we get the faster it goes.

Just Good Food: Tacos

 Big Day Ahead

The impetus for this post is that National Taco Day is now the first Tuesday in October. 

The top photo was taken in an old fashion California style Mexican restaurant that I frequent on a nearly monthly basis for lunch with friends. The remainder are of tacos that I made myself at home.

Taco Bell

It seems that Taco Bell is behind the move of this holiday from October 4 to the first Tuesday of the month. While it is seldom, if ever my first choice in dining, I have been known to utter the phrase - "¡Yo quiero Taco Bell!". On one of these visits, probably in 1998, I picked up two of the toy figures that were being offered as a promotion at the time.

Just Good Food: Seafood

 Seafood (and Fish)

The word seafood is a generic term describing any edible animal obtained from the sea–be it fish, crustacean, or mollusk.

I cooked all of these meals, save for the last one of the fish and chips. That was taken at Ye Olde King's Head in Santa Monica, California. The lead photo is of Shrimp Creole, which my family and friends consider to be my signature dish.

Just Good Food: Soup

 Winter is coming!

And, I am thinking about soup.
