Happy Mother's Day!

To all the mommies out there (including new triplet mom, Laura), Happy Mother's Day!

Early this week I received this in the mail and couldn't stop laughing. Yes, I approve the spay/neuter campaign, but the wording was a bit out there don't ya think? I liked the little caption on the right that said "financial assistance available if you are on Medicaid or Food Stamps."

In 2008, I had a chance to celebrate Mother's Day with my mom here in the States. Back home, Mother's Day is the last Sunday of May, and Father's Day is on the first Sunday of June, although my mom told me last night that they are both celebrated on the same day, the last Sunday of May.  So in 2008 we went to one of my favorite places, the Melting Pot. Can't wait to go there again with you Mom, and hopefully Dad will go with us too!

I made crepes - this is something that we would make as a treat to have with tea on the weekend. We drink a lot of tea back home and almost always at around 4 pm on Saturdays and Sundays when we wake up from our midday naps, or come back from the beach. My sister was the crepes expert, she could always tell when the batter was of the right consistency. I, on the other hand, still can't do that, and need exact measurements (thanks Joy of Cooking, yours is a good one). So as a treat for Mother's day and for the fond memories of my family, I made sweet crepes. Sorry Dad, next time I'll make savory ones.
