It was a good Mother's Day at our house. Mom and Hal came over for brunch. We served our typical Bloom-Family feast of lox, whitefish salad, bagels, cream cheese, fruit salad. I added some cold asparagus. For dessert I baked a recipe I found on the Cooking with Trader Joe's blog: Lemon Basil Cake with strawberries.
We had fun, reminiscing about Mother's Days in the past, talking recipes and opening presents!I crocheted Mom a pineapple-shaped scarf, made from Berroco Comfort yarn. She loved it! Larry gave Roz some of her favorite candy from Littlejohn's. All in all, it was a warm family celebration. How was your Mother's Day?
Glad to hear your celebration went so well! My mom and I have been estranged for some time now, but I still sent her a mothers day card. kinda funny, i was in the hallmark store looking through cards, and i started to giggle....how do you pick out a card for some one you don't even speak to??? :) or better yet, getting one for my MIL. How do you pick out a card for somebody you don't even like?? HA!
