Yesterday was Mother's Day. I love Mother's day. My girls spend this whole day making sure not to argue with each other because they want me to have a calm day. Actually, the days leading up to the main event are even better. It's almost as good as Santa coming to town.
Of course, I'm never home for more than an hour on Mother's Day...mother has to make the bacon. Why didn't I ever consider how many holidays I'd have to give up as a chef. What was I thinking.
It was a great day regardless. The restaurant was packed in spite of a party of 11 and one of 4 canceling at the last minute AND one of our regular couples were a no show!! We made beautiful food for a bunch of beautiful ladies.
My daughter Maeve made a lot of mom's days too, even though she was at home. The girls made bookmarks out of extra paper from the menus we made. Maeve looked up famous mother quotes online and added them to the already pretty bookmarks. They brought tears to my eyes for sure, but they also hit a sweet spot to all the moms that received them. They were really beautiful.
We now have a new drink for our "winetail" list! ok ready...pomegranite simple syrup, extra dry champagne and peach yophoria! OHMYGOD! So delicious! and oh so pretty!!!
