GRANPA SAYS HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY

Adolph learned to cook from his mother. She was a good cook and great baker. Her butter tarts were the best.

A MOTHER'S DAY FEAST-CANADIAN MUSSELS AND LOBSTER

I made my wife a nice mother's day meal last night. Mussels with a tomato sauce with some white wine and hot peppers.

The small lobster tails were broiled in the oven.

Fried left over pepper slices the grandkids did not eat at lunch in some olive oil and garlic.

Tomato wedges and cucumbers with red vinegar and olive oil- salt to taste.

Eating on the back porch area with our kitchen dishes on a warm Saturday night was enjoyable. Dipping the lobster into heated butter with slices of Italian bread, well it was a meal made for a "queen". Barb enjoyed it so off the hook do not need to go out for a meal. To all the mothers, Happy Mother's Day especially my two daughters who are wonderful mothers. Like a good son, I took a bouquet of flowers to the cemetery last Friday for my mother who will always be loved and missed.

MOTHER'S DAY- A TIME TO EAT

Attending my granddaughter's baptism was enjoyable. My contribution was 3 pans of lasagna while Barb made her devilled eggs. Two salads, a plate of sandwiches, cold cuts, pickles, cheese, olives, appetizers, buns, a drink of choice and a wonderful table with goodies. The cake with thick pink icing was well- the icing on the cake for the event. Mother's day and baptism day all in one was very good. Poignant, as many in the room were missing their mothers. Able to go home later and take off my tight pants replaced by jammies was enjoyable too! Overeating has its disadvantages!
