Today is a day we will never forget.  It is imprinted on all of our memories.  We all know where we were when we heard the news of the 911 tragedy.  It is hard to believe it has been 8 years since this happened but we need to remember, no matter how hard it is to do so.  I heard about a wonderful website that has flags to honor the hero’s of 911.  There are 2, on is the Flag of Honor, a tribute to those lost while working in the Twin Towers that day, the other is the Flag of Hero’s to honor the firefighters and paramedic’s who came to help that day.  The flags have the names of all of the vicitims imprinted on the stripes.   The proceeds from the sale of these beautiful flags goes to help the Flag of Honor/Flag of Hero’s fund.  You can read more about their mission by clicking on the link below.  Let us never forget the victims and families of this tragic day.

It’s hard to believe that eight years have passed since the tragic events of 9/11. While most of us have not forgotten what happened that day, we’ve probably allowed ourselves to fall back into the routine we had before 9/11, and in some cases, even believing that something like this would never happen to us again.

That’s why I think it’s important to remember this day as much as we can. Families of the thousands who lost their lives certainly have not forgotten. Neither have those who are currently fighting the war on terror in Iraq and Afghanistan, along with their families and friends. I’m sure none of us will ever forget the footage we saw on television in the hours, days, and weeks following the collapse of the World Trade Center.

No matter how we may feel about the state of things currently in our country (fewer jobs, difficult economy, the rising cost of health care), 9/11 did demonstrate that America can band together and stand firm against the evil that often plagues our world, and that we can still take pride in who we are and where we live.

My thoughts and prayers continue to be with the families who lost loved ones that day eight years ago, along with those who have lost loved ones while defending us through our armed forces. A big thank you goes to all of our troops and their families who sacrifice so much to help us preserve our freedom.

God Bless America!

I had the exciting opportunity to taste a fantastic new menu item at Pei Wei Asian Diner last week while I was on vacation.  It was so good I had to share it with you.  It’s called Japenese Chili Beef Ramen, and let me tell you , it is so flavorful with just the right amount of spice and perfect when you are after some comfort food.   It’s served in a bowl with everything you need and not only tastes delicious, but looks delicious too!

You have to try the Chili Beef Ramen at Pei Wei!!

This wonderful dish is the invention of Chef Eric Justice!  He is the Director of Culinery Operations for Pei Wei and told us he wanted to showcase the amazing flavors you can make with a Ramen dish!  He has certainly  succeeded with this one!  Chili Beef Ramen is available starting today at you local Pei Wei, try something new and delicious tonight!
