Happy May Day! I've decided not to post an update for the May food celebrations for 2009. I've had a busy schedule the past couple of weeks and the next couple of days appear to be quite full also. Thankfully, I did two postings for May last year. I've checked the links and they all appear to be in good working order. On the first post; May Food Celebrations I, there is a list of the monthly May

Well, it appears the Kettledrum has come full circle. I hadn't even noticed until I was getting prepared to do this post. I suppose you could say Come To A Kettledrum is celebrating it's Blogoversary! Perhaps, it slipped my mind because last year's March celebration was, well, quite frankly, rather skimpy:) Not this year. The March Celebrations are going to blow you away! Monthly Food

Happy New Year! January is filled to the brim with monthly food celebrations. I better get right to it. First, I want to glide over some 2009 food anniversaries. In the food category, Ritz crackers will be 75 years crisp on November 1, 2009 and Rumford Baking Powder will celebrate 150 years. Are you a tomato lover? Well, The ‘Rutgers’ Tomato was introduced in 1934; 75 years ago in 2009. In the

And after him came the chill December;Yet he through merry feating which he made,And great bonfires, did not the cold rememberHis Saviour's birth his mind so much did glad.Edmund SpenserThe name of the last month of the year, December, means tenth. It is derived from the Latin word decem which means ten. Now, I know December is no longer the tenth month, as it was in the Roman Calendar. In fact,

There seems to be a bit of confusion, (on my part) as to when National Gingerbread Day is; June 5th or the day after Thanksgiving. Graphic Garden celebrates in June with two recipes. I've elected to celebrate National Gingerbread Day today. After all, I celebrated Gingerbread House Day in December. May as well keep the gingerbread a coming:) How could I possibly wait until June to share these

Today, November 17 is Home Made Bread Day not to be confused with World Bread Day which was back on October 16. It's a perfect day to discover the story behind a loaf of bread which begins with a grain of wheat. I would like to share a charming booklet I have titled Tummy Tingles. Authored by Josephine Beardsley, Tummy Tingles was published by The Wheat Flour Institute in 1937. Tummy Tingles is

Some day, I wish to do a blog post on the importance of a visible email address. Unfortunately, today, is not the day. I have a "million" things to do. So I'm going to make this quick and direct this post at just one blog which I have had the pleasure of visiting in the last couple of weeks. The name of the blog is called Grammy's Recipe Collection.

I found this menu for a Halloween High Tea in the October 1931 edition of American Cookery Magazine (formerly The Boston Cooking School Magazine.) Now, you might just be asking yourself, what the heck is a Halloween High Tea? Are we going to use our magic powers to conjure up love potions and magic spells. American Cookery offers this explanation. A Halloween High Tea is higher than an ordinary

Okay, beat me with a wet noodle, I didn't make it back by Thursday. And, this post is going to be rather short also. Why? Well, it may be because it's Independence Day, or not.

I know it has taken me a few more days than I had anticipated to post additional food celebrations for June and for that, I apologize. It isn't because I haven't been thinking about them. For sure, I have. Why, just two days ago I posted, on my other blog, a tribute for Martha Washington's birth date. Lady Washington was born on June 2. Although, the post did seem to "get away" from me (a bit

As March comes to a close, (hopefully like a lamb) I would like to mention a few of the "goings on" at Months of Edible Celebrations. We shared tales about Fannie Farmer as a tribute to her birthday on March 23 which also happened to be Easter this year. International Waffle Day was March 24. You should really drop by and try the waffle recipe from Aunt Jemima. Just this morning, I posted a
