New calendars are one of my favorite parts of the new year. A new theme to draw inspiration or humor or laughter from, new designs, illustrations and artwork to look at, and, with this year's 12-month calendar, new holidays.

According to my new 2016 calendar, today is spaghetti day. So what else was there to do but eat spaghetti for dinner. And, even better, Brenden made an awesome oil and garlic sauce to go with it, laced with cheese and oregano, thyme and pepper. It was so, so good. I mixed the sauce into the spaghetti and added some goat cheese and Italian turkey sausage. Then, I topped it with a perfectly cooked over easy egg. Fantastic! It truly hit the spot! In fact, I'm still thinking about it, and I can't wait to eat the leftovers for lunch tomorrow.

Happy 2016; happy new calendar, and happy tummy. I love it all so much.
