Happy Friday the 13th! Anyone superstitious out there? Personally I am not, but I know plenty of people who are!
So today is National Cocoa Day! I love hot chocolate, Starbucks makes the best, though I do miss marshmallows on mine! Anyone like their hot cocoa a certain way? Post your recipe if you have one!

History of National Cocoa Day
Chocolate’s history goes far back into ancient times, much further back than most people are aware. It may have been part of the Aztec culture as early as 1400 AD.

Chocolate itself first was found by European explorers in South America, where it had been enjoyed for hundreds of years even prior to their arrival.

Researchers have reason to believe that the reason the Americans didn’t make contact with Europe sooner is they didn’t want to share this delightful beverage with the rest of the world. Of course, that may be an exaggeration….

The first origins of cocoa being made into a drink can be traced back to 500 BC. However, many archaeologists believe that this is only as early as they can trace it and that cocoa consumption predates even that august culture.

Of course, the chocolate of those days would have been much different than that which is now consumed, as sugar was not something that had yet found its way to the Americas.

Instead, the beverage was probably flavored with vanilla and often with chili and was served at all temperatures, depending on the recipe being used.

Not everyone is a fan of cocoa at first taste. In fact, the Spaniards first found the flavor of cocoa unpleasant and one that an individual had to acquire.

It would not be until it was introduced to Europe and had spent some time there as a luxury drink of the wealthy that it would be sweetened and milk chocolate would be invented.

It took until 1828 for powdered chocolate to be made, and in that glorious moment of culinary history, both the chocolate bar and instant hot cocoa came into existence.

Even then, it wasn’t for more than a hundred more years that powdered hot cocoa drinks that could be mixed in the cup came to be. In the 1950s and 1960s, Charles Sanna produced the product (tested on his children) that would later become Swiss Miss.

So how are we feeling about the Cowboys these days? The last two wins have been fun but doesn't really give much hope for a good season. I know there is a lot of talk about should McCarthy come back as coach, I personally say no but I don't think it really matters who the coach is. I guess all we can do is watch and hope that at some point they get it all together again and return to their winning ways. Meanwhile, I will still watch every game and root them on, as the faithful do. So let's go Cowboys, let's get a W tonight!

How many of you wear Crocs? I have a pair but honesty I rarely wear them. My daughter on the other hand wears her every day!

Today is National Croc Day!

History of National Croc Day
Crocs began their journey in 2002 in Boulder, Colorado when the original makers wanted to create a boating shoe out of foam. Perfect for being able to get wet and then dry off easily, the formed foam was also as comfortable as it was practical.

The Crocs name simply came from the practical fact that the top of the shoe looks vaguely like the snout of a crocodile. And the rest is history!

Not long after their release, Crocs began gaining a following in the demographic of middle school and high school students in the US. Since then, the Crocs company has evolved in offering lines of shoes that still meet the requirements of comfort and practicality, but some are tailored toward more mature customers.

Still the most basic crocs, with the holes on top and a strap on the back that can be converted into a clog, are the most iconic. Crocs can be purchased in all sorts of different bright colors, including Stars and Stripes or Tie Dye. Plus, the holes in the shoes allow them to be decorated with small charms with various pictures and characters on them, called Jibbitz.

Designers have even gotten on board with Crocs. In a unique twist, designer Liberty London cooperated with Crocs in 2020 to create a pink patterned Croc shoe that was wrapped in a silk scarf. Alife is another collaborator who, in 2018, created the Crocs shoes with built-in socks.

But the most outrageous of all is a collaboration with Balenciaga in 2020, which produced a black, platform Croc shoe with metal bolts and screw studs around the sole, retailing at a whopping $925.

National Croc Day is here to celebrate and appreciate everything to do with this fascinating shoe that has been around for two decades and is still going strong!

It is National Chocolate Cupcake Day!!! I love cupcakes!

National Chocolate Cupcake Day on October 18 celebrates the sweetness of small chocolate cakes. With a dollop of frosting, one sweet serving satisfies chocolate and cake lovers!


Cupcakes can be traced back to 1796 when a recipe notation of "a cake to be baked in small cups" was written in American Cookery, by Amelia Simmons. The earliest known documentation of the term cupcake was in 1828 in Seventy-five Receipts for Pastry, Cakes, and Sweetmeats in Eliza Leslie's Receipts cookbook.

Bakers initially baked their cupcakes in heavy pottery cups. However, bakers today use a plethora of tools at their fingertips. Some still use individual ramekins, small coffee mugs, large teacups, or other small oven proof pottery-type dishes for baking their cupcakes. Of course, the most common cupcake tool is the muffin or cupcake pan. This handy tool includes multiple cups in one device.

Cupcakes have also been called:

Fairy Cakes
Patty Cakes
Cup Cakes (different from Cupcakes (one-word))

Chocolate cupcakes come in a variety of flavors, too. Of course, there's always the standard chocolate cupcake. But why stop there on a holiday?

Chocolate caramel cupcakes satisfy that extra cry for sweetness.
Peanut butter chocolate cupcakes are the snackers delight.
Get devilishly good cupcakes with Devil's Food.
Cool things off a bit with chocolate mint recipes, too.
And you can't forget chocolate orange cupcakes. Citrus brightens the flavor of any chocolate recipe.

Happy National Dessert Day! What is your favorite dessert? For me, it just depends on my mood honestly!

Also, Happy National I Love You Day! Make sure you tell those you love how much they mean to you!

We are not going to talk about the game yesterday, I have no words at all!

10/09/2024

So, it's been a few days since the Cowboys game and I'll be honest, I feel the same way now as when the game was over. We got lucky, the only thing that impressed me was the defense. Going into the game all I heard was how bad our defense is so it was great watching them step up to the challenge. We know the history between the Cowboys and Steelers so we all knew it was going to be a tough game. Dak giving up two turnovers in the red zone did not help us at all, the game should not have been won with 20 seconds left. I am thankful we won but honestly, I do not see this team going far unless we fix our offense. I still love my Boys and will watch every game, hopeful that they can improve!

10/04/2024

How has the first week of October been? I'm still in shock that it is October, where has this year gone? I remember as a kid, adults would say time flies the older you get. I didn't believe them but I clearly do now lol.
Anyways, The Cowboys play the Steelers this Sunday! How do we feel? I just want a decent game at this point!
I hope everyone has a great weekend and as always, GO COWBOYS!

09/27/2024

So....how are we feeling after the Cowboys game last night? I can't really say I was impressed :/ The Defense was improved but I still am not sold on Dak, I do not feel he is the answer. Parsons suffered a high ankle sprain, hopefully he will be fine in time for our next game. Still love my Boys, just not impressed yet. Have a great weekend everyone!

09/25/2024

So today is National Daughter's Day. This is special for me as I have 4 gorgeous daughters. One became an angel a little over a year ago. I am so proud of them all. If you have daughters, celebrate them, hold them close and tell them how much you love them. As you never know what will happen in the future.
Sons are just as important, today is for the daughters though, sons have their own day to celebrate them! But again, whether you have daughters, sons, grandchildren, nieces, nephews, celebrate them all, every little accomplishment is as important as the big ones. I hope my own children know how truly proud of them I am and how much I love them all so much!

09/16/2024

So....how disappointed are you with the Cowboys game yesterday? Honestly, I just got mad. Our defense had no answer for the Saints offense. Dak did not play all that great. Refs missed some calls but I don't think it would have mattered. Thankfully, we are only heading into the 3 game so they better get it together! What are your thoughts? Any surprises from other games?

09/15/2024

So how did everyone feel about the Cowboys game last weekend? I know, the team they played isn't really great, though the commentators kept saying they had a great defense last year. I didn't see a very good defense. I still don't think Dak is the answer but looks like he will be here for a while since he signed a new contract. Anyone else feel the way I do?
What about having Ezekiel back? We will see how the season goes.

And Tom Brady as a commentator, I'll admit I wasn't thrilled that he was going to be a commentator for our game since I am not really a fan but he didn't do a bad job so I can't really complain.
Today we play the Saints! Who feels good about the game? Skeptical? All i can say is LET'S GO COWBOYS!
