Mother's Day Menu

Yay, Moms!

Tonight, I made dinner for the Most Beneficent, Understanding and Supportive Mother Ever.  It was not because I was too cheap to get her a really nice gift.  It's because I couldn't think of anything else to give her.  I can't give her what she deserves, so I can only give her what I can.

Herewith:

We had a skirt steak with what I can only describe as a Middle Eastern spice rub (cumin, cardamon, salt and pepper, ground clove) and then served with an OK chimichurri (frankly, I've made better, this one was a little vinegary.)

We had roasted sweet potatoes with a lime-cilantro dressing and a nice quinoa salad she picked up at Wholy Crap This Foods Is Expensive.  Paired it with a nice Russian River Pinot Noir.

Thing One and Thing Two mostly behaved at the brunch with Her Radiancy's parent.  All in all, a good day.
