We're headed south sometime between Mom's day and the birthday....hopefully. I'm going to let Trace spoil me for a few days. Heart

My girls are taking me out tomorrow night to a fun place that Heather found. Scallops and mussels are calling me.

We will all meet up for a late lunch Sunday. Details after we decide.

I wanted to show off my fancy schmanzy dinner out with my daughters the other night. I'm sure glad I went with them and not Ron. (not enough food on the plate for him Wink

)

So, we started the meal with cocktails. Heather and I had the Blueberry Rondell and Holly had a Mason's Mule.

BLUEBERRY RONDELL:
Stoli Vodka, muddled mint and blueberries, fresh lemon, honey, simple syrup and soda

MASON'S MULE:
George Dickel Rye Whiskey infused with vanilla bean, fresh muddled orange, ginger beer.

While the girls shared a chicken wing appetizer, I had a spinach salad.

CHICKEN WINGS:
Confit wings, roasted garlic five spice rub, soy pickled vegetables, orange, honey

SPINACH SALAD:
Roasted mushrooms, bacon, toasted panko, pickled carrots, smoked blue, shallot vinaigrette (It was really much prettier than the pic shows. I had already given part of it to both girls.)

Entrees
Mine: SCALLOPS
Red skin and pork belly hash, spinach, creamed leeks

Heather:C & C STEAK:
Smoked blue cheese red skin gratin, shaved Brussels sprouts, oven dried tomatoes, balsamic

Holly: PORK PAPRIKASH:
Braised pork shoulder, smoked paprika spaetzle, crème fraiche

Wines: I had a pinot gris and the girls both had a zin

We were too full for dessert although they sounded amazing.

I am going to have a blah Mother's Day since I had heavy duty periodontal surgery Thursday, and am on a soft food diet. I did discover an excellent flan style pudding and lemon meringue jello that tastes like pie without the crust. I also made some yogurt on the IP and found the sugar free Almond Orgeat syrup that I have for my coffee is excellent with yogurt.

My son just return from a 2 week trip to Paris and Monaco. After eating a steak at the Michelin starred La Scène, his comment was he'd rather have a burrito. Somehow I failed as a mother! I'm not a steak person, but I'm really craving one now.

"he'd rather have a burrito." --- and then there is one of my sons who always wanted S.O.S. for his b'day dinner - no steak. Smile

Good luck with the surgery, Alina; not something to look forward to. And, since pie crust gives me such heartburn, I'd love to see the recipe for the Lemon jello. Love lemon pie!

I'm rather between a rock and a hard spot here - I'll just have to say we're having leftovers from my B'day review dinner instead of cooking a new one. But, the bubbly will be flowing!!

Happy Mother's Day everyone!

And, as they say...that's a wrap. Smile
