What did you cook for the mother in your life?

Me? Eggs benedict with salmon and spinach.

Filet steaks & lobster tails today.

I lost one but have two more to rely on. Queing steaks to go with cronies salad and homemade zymurgy Jimmy bread.

Pecan smoked chicken, grilled portabella caps, and grilled polenta cakes. Good stuff.

My sister in law made baked chicken breast coated with panko crumbs and shredded Parmesan. Very nice.

Mort that looks like one gut-busting plate of eggs benedict!

yeah, she’s still working on it.

You just made my day.

My mom was here last weekend. We made chicken soup from the bones of some chicken that I smoked. It was surprisingly good, tasted like soup made with keilbasa. Wasn’t sure how the smoked stock would taste.

My wife and I both had to work today, so I kept it really simple for dinner: steak (filet for the wife and son, strip for me), roasted new potatoes, and green beans.

Did a pork tenderloin on the smoker.  Turned out great.

Didn’t even know about this part of the forum, so going back to May 11th, I made her, plus my siblings and their families:

appetizer:
pan-seared sesame encrusted wild caught chinook salmon with two Asian sauces

main courses:

halibut ceviche

crockpot Mexican red beans

Diana Kennedy Mexican rice (with carrots and zucchini but no giblets)

Dessert:
Diana Kennedy traditional flan

My sis-in-law brought green salad.

It all turned out great, although it also took some day + two days ahead prep.  They REALLY loved the seared salmon appetizer, and this really is the best flan recipe around!

Pork chops in ginger snap cookies sauce with mashed potatoes and salad at the side

ginger snap cookie sauce? do tell!

Will people please stop bumping this thread up and making me think I missed Mother’s Day every few months?! :o
