monday mangia, mother's day edition

tulip from the Monkey

Mangia is certainly a fitting heading, since all I did for mother's day was eat! The Monkey and husband brought me coffee and breakfast in bed, before heading off to Gymboree while I slept in some more. Then it was out to lunch, and a stroll through the Old Town "Art" Festival. (Not so much art as crafts and gifts, but whatever. Bought baby shower gifts.) Husband took the Monkey home to nap and left me to do a little more shopping. Then we took a quick outing to the pool at the Y, to show husband what we've been learning, and get out of the house since round two of the weekend monsoon had started. What I really wanted was to cook a fancy dinner with all the rhubarb I bought at market (I know, crazy), so I made pork chops with rhubarb barbecue sauce, roasted English peas, rhubarb collins to drink, and strawberry rhubarb goat cheese tart for dessert. And lest you worry that the husband got off too easy, he took me out to dinner tonight, for a "Hot Chefs, Slow Food" dinner fundraiser for Slow Foods USA. Yum.

Hope everyone enjoyed their mother's day!
