Nothing we serve now, but growing up my great aunt always made oyster stew. I remember her sitting at the head of the table ladling out this stew that I thought was about the most awful tasting slimy stuff. The rule was though that we eat everything, no complaints.

Tutor Appreciation Day Thank you! I tutor kids through the summer in reading and math.
Milk in Glass Bottles Day I grew up on a farm. My dad ran the farm & an uncle ran the dairy. I have an old milk box people kept on their porches where pop and unc would leave the milk. Also have old milk bottles. There was always cream at the top of the milk... After growing up drinking rich milk I don't like lowfat milk. It tastes like water to me.
Astronomy Day I want to put a telescope out on my porch this summer. Anyone have any recommendations on what I should buy?
I'm looking forward to spending the afternoon with my daughters and their families. Enjoy your day, all!
