Well, because Mother's Day is normally complete he** around here (as a cakemaker I work hardest when the rest of the world is relaxing), we celebrated last Sunday. Dinner was a mushroom and green pepper risotto, shrimp sauteed in drawn butter with aliño, steamed asparagus, and a green salad (not pictured.)
Mom gave it rave reviews.

I hosted brunch, since I'm just about midway between my sister's place and my parents.
Mimosas to start...fresh bagels with smoked salmon, lox, and smoked whitefish spread (plus cream cheese). Sliced tomatoes. Made quick pickles with some "persian" cukes, which was the surprise hit. Also homemade chicken salad with a dressing made from half mayo, half greek yogurt, and a couple of spoons of dijon, with fresh tarragon. DH doesn't like smoked fish, so the chicken salad was my concession to him...when my family comes over for brunch, it's smoked fish all ways!
Dessert was sliced strawberries tossed with a little vanilla sugar and mini sort of cheesecakes (made in muffin cups).
