Wife Appreciation Day (Sept. 20, 2026)
From husband Bill, Sept. 20, 2026
Today on Wife Appreciation Day (third Sunday in September), I thank my wonderful wife for all she has done for me, including continuing to be my caretaker after my nine (9) surgeries between March 2002 and May 2026. ❤️

If I am feeling mainstream, I'll go for a pepperoni pizza with extra cheese. If not, then I'll go for my favorite pizza topping: pickled capers. My other favorite toppings are eggs that are broken raw onto the uncooked pizza and then baked. I also like artichoke hearts and anchovies.

At our fraternity (Alpha Phi Delta) parties at university in the early 1980s, we drank fruit punch mixed with ginger ale or Sprite and with Everclear (95% grain alcohol) in huge punch bowls. (fun times)

I like string cheese. Of course, I peel it to make the stringy strands. I actually do have Polly-O string cheese in the fridge, so I will indulge today.

I like fried rice, especially teriyaki-style.

When I was a kid in the 1960s and 1970s, I enjoyed Snack Pack butterscotch pudding, as well as Snack Pack chocolate pudding. My mom would put one can in my lunch to take to school.

The cheeses I prefer on my burgers are blue, Swiss, or Provolone, but I do eat McDonald's cheeseburgers with American "cheese," which I don't like all that much.
I never, EVER put any vegetables on my (cheese)burgers, meaning no lettuce, no raw tomatoes, no raw onions, although I will sometimes put sliced pickles between the cheese and the top bun.
My topping preferences for my burgers are either:
1. mayonnaise and ketchup
2. fried egg and ketchup
3. only peanut butter (no ketchup)

My second favorite cooked sandwich is the Monte Cristo. I have enjoyed them since the late 1960s, when my age was in single digits. It is made with ham, turkey, and Swiss cheese. The assembled sandwich is then dipped into an egg batter and pan fried until golden. It is then typically dusted with confectioner's (powdered) sugar. I like eating mine with grape jelly, although red raspberry jam is nice, too.
I must mention that my mother's fried mozzarella cheese sandwich, dipped in beaten eggs, fried, and then topped with tomato sauce is by far my favorite cooked sandwich.

I think that I like apple dumplings. I am not sure if I have ever eaten one. I hate raw apples, but I like apples in any other form, so I am sure that I would like them.

It's nice to see that the six conservative judges on the Supreme Court are constitutionalists.

Today is National Créme de Menthe Day. I love my mother's traditional Crème de Menthe brownies that she use to make every Christmas season. (See photo.)

I prefer linguine to spaghetti, but my favorite pasta is bucatini.

I do enjoy cheeseburgers. I am not a fan of American "cheese" on burgers, except from McDonald's. The cheeses I prefer on burgers are blue, Provolone, or Swiss.
From husband Bill, Sept. 15, 2026
I don't think that I have ever eaten cheese toast. It certainly doesn't look familiar to me. I have eaten many a Croque Monsieur, which is similar.
