this is sort of OT, but my favorite Mother's day gift would be for DH to

take the kids somewhere, and leave me blissfully alone to pursue my hobbies in

peace. Whether it be knitting, rubberstamping, yoga, a nap, a nice walk with

the dog, whatever. Don't get me wrong, I love them all dearly, but a little

alone time would go a long way!! My sister usually makes dinner for my mom

and I (and everyone that comes along, 2 kids, brother, and dog) but its non veg

except for the salad) and the yummy Harry and David chutney she serves with

crackers and cream cheese (must learn how to make this). I am winding my way

more and more to being full fledged vegetarian. Maybe I'll bring a dish even

though she always tells me not to, dinner is her treat to us. Or at least

some artichoke hearts, kalamati olives, and baby corn for the kids. (who always

get plenty to eat, but Sanna is pretty vegetarian as well, and Lily doesn't

eat much meat either).

 

We had a delish eggplant parmesan last night, with tomato sauce and

mozarella, Lily said 'what is this stuff?' and I said 'its eggplant, remember

you

loved it last time you had it.' She slurped it down, had 3rds, as well with the

peas. Sorry for the rambling post....with a raging migrant its tough to

concentrate today. AmyF

AmyF -- sounds like you need a break! :-) Your dinner sounds like a

fun time, although sorry there isn't more veg stuff. It also sounds

like your kids eat amazing things - artichoke hearts, kalamata olives,

and baby corn?:-)

 

And totally not to pick on you, but this typo made me laugh! :-)

Those dang migraines really throw me too. I hope it goes away quickly.

I hope you feel better, I get those too. No fun let me tell you!

I know hjow you feel about needing some free time for yourself, life is full

and so stressful at times.

Get some rest and put the ice pack on your head.

In digest #776, Amy asked: " Mother's Day is around the corner...

how do you celebrate, and what are some of your favorite " special

occasion " recipes? "

 

~~ You are right, MD is right around the corner, but first

we got to celebrate May Day [the other MD]. *lol* i'll post

one of my favorite May Day recipes in my next post.

 

Oh, and don't forget the Cinco de Mayo ~ did i spell that right?

We have to share our best Mexi dishes for that day, too.

 

But back to Mother's Day... i celebrate each year by going to

the annual Mother's Day Pow Wow here in the park. i love to

listen to the drums and watch the dancers; might do a bit of

dancing myself. As far as food goes, i will just pack myself a

lunch in my cooler and have a picnic there. My dh and the

kids will probably either fix dinner for me later in the evening

or take me out for veggie sushi. No cookin', washin', worryin',

or whatever'n for me on that day.
