#FoodieFriday




Sauces are part of the #FoodieFriday journey today. Sauces make me weak in the knees. I confess there are times I order or make something because of the sauce, not because of the food the sauce is on top of or mixed in to. Like Eggs Benedict - sometimes I dream about the Hollandaise. 

Sauces take some patience but they are worth it. Oh so worth it. 

24 Delicious DIY Sauces You'll Want To Put On Everything
Sauces - so many sauces

Here's a few sauces that make my mouth water immediately once I think of them, smell them, or hear them mentioned:
Tzatziki
Chimichurri
Peanut 
Hollandaise
Vodka
Any sweet fruit sauce

Oh man, there are more but the drool is running out of my closed mouth so I'm just gonna end the list there. 

Listen, sauces rock. They can elevate any dish - meat, vegetables, desserts. YUM. 
One last sauce story - when my youngest was in elementary she was asked to create a recipe. When she brought home her idea I looked at it and said, "I can do that." She was over the moon, Mommy could make her recipe creation!  It was grilled meatloaf with mac-n-cheese sauce. So I made a meatloaf and we grilled it (delicious btw) and I made my homemade mac-n-cheese sauce (noodle free) and we poured it over top. It was SO good! So good. In fact, maybe I'm making that for dinner tonight - my youngest would be thrilled that I made it again - plus that mac-n-cheese sauce is DIVINE.

The Feast of Firstfruits & Easter Go for Broke Day If it scares you this is the day to go for it no matter what. One Day Without Shoes Day Today is to raise global awareness for children’s health and education.  Why shoes? Because shoes help protect from bacteria in the dirt, rusty nails, dirty needles and shoes enable feet to withstand the long distances most children in developing countries need to walk to get to school. Join TOMS One for One There is plenty of criticism out there for TOMS and its short term solutions. Critics don't even buy the "at least they are doing something" statement.  However, you have to start somewhere. And every bit of awareness helps something go from short term to long term.  We all have a part to play. Read a Road Map Day One of the many reasons I would stink at The Amazing Race is because I never did learn how to read a road map well.  I remember doing worksheets and class lessons on maps and I was able to skate by ...

Butter someone up

There are two probable origins for this idiom and I think both are equally plausible. The first one is that when you spread butter on bread you are buttering it up like one would do when trying to flatter someone. The second is in ancient India there was a practice of throwing balls of butter at statues to ask for favor, i.e. buttering them up. ( source ) When we use the phrase today we generally mean that extreme flattery is used to gain information or favor. It's not always necessarily a compliment.

A dime a dozen

"It's said that in the year 1796, the first U.S. dimes were produced for circulation. Hence, it would make sense for this phrase to originate sometime after." Read more here .  Today the phrase carries the meaning that something is cheap or without value if it can be lumped in with other similar or exactly-like things. It's more of an insult than anything.
