January 21 - What does it mean to you?

I found out that today is "Blue Monday" - according to this article from the International Business Times the third Monday of January each year is dedicated to being the most depressing day of the year.  Great .... this year it falls squarely on my birthday.  I think that's a sign.

January 21 is also National Hug Day - which makes sense that you would need a hug on the most depressing day of the year!  It's also Martin Luther King Jr Day.  And today it happens to be the inauguration of POTUS - President Barrack Obama - and he gave his inauguration address.

All in all a pretty busy day!

Back to cooking and student luncheons; today I'm preparing the menu for the Chef of the Day in Brampton for our student Ginette R.  She has created a menu entitled "Rustic Winter Festival".  A fitting repose for this week.

I can't wait to try the French Onion Soup!  That's the equivalent of a food hug for the tummy.  Yum.
