Mother-in-Law Day - Hmmm, there seems to be a recurring theme making mother-in-laws the ‘bad’ guys who are always out to get their daughter-in-law or son-in-law. They’re simply looking out for their best interests right? Nonetheless, there are horror stories of mother-in-laws making mostly their sons’ wives’ lives miserable. Does Monster-in-Law ring a bell? That movie was no romantic comedy…it was a horror show! I personally wouldn’t know what to do except RUN if I was trapped with a controlling mother-in-law. Be that as it may, mother-in-laws still do not deserve the slack they get because once again pop culture has constructed these stereotypical ideas around them which are, most of the time, fabricated. For those of you who do have mother-in-laws, you should feel blessed that you get to have 2 mothers. Today on Mother-in-Law Day, spend some quality time with her and bury the hatchet already! Allow Fleurop to help show her you care and appreciate her for bringing your husband or wife into this world.

National Mincemeat Day - MmMm…mincemeat. Have you ever tried it before? If not, I’m here to give you a quick background story on this classic fall dish. Mincemeat basically is a combination of chopped meat, dried fruit, some type of liquor and spice. Nowadays, the ‘meat’ in mincemeat has been taken out of most recipes and is now just a mince pie, equally as savory and sweet as its predecessor. Mincemeat is usually found in some sort of pastry tart or pie shell and is baked and served hot usually on Thanksgiving. In medieval times, mincemeat was enjoyed as a dish and as a way to preserve food. It’s come a long way since then, and today would be the perfect day to test it out for yourself. If you’ve never made it before, you really can’t go wrong. Perhaps you could make a trial one before Thanksgiving and perfect your recipe! Whatever you do, you must indulge in this hearty pie.
