On Motherโ€™s Day

By May 10, 2012October 2nd, 201365 Comments

What the heck? No Motherโ€™s Day post on DALS this year? Thatโ€™s because I posted on Bon App on Tuesday all about how we donโ€™t really celebrate it. I know, not very helpful. If you are like most normal people and in the market for a kick-ass brunch main dish, check out this baked cinnamony French toastย from the always-reliable Deb at Smitten Kitchen. If I celebrated Motherโ€™s Day, thatโ€™s definitely what Iโ€™d want in the middle of my peony-strewn brunch table. That, and a copy of Dinner: A Love Story, naturally.

Haveย a great weekend!

    Love the site, I read it, literally every day.
    And Happy Motherโ€™s Day anyway!

    We celebrate Motherโ€™s Day at my parents and all contribute something toward brunch. Itโ€™s delicious and not much work for one person. Usually the husbands/brothers clean up, which is the best gift of all! I usually make a baked French toast and plan to make Debโ€™s from smitten kitchen. I absolutely love the picture of you with your girls!

    Iโ€™m not in it just for the tote (see earlier comment). I really enjoy your blog: the recipes, the point of view, the kid and adult book recommendations and the wonderful shrimp and avocado salad from your April 15, 2011 post. I make that salad a couple of times a month, and admit that I ate it three time one week when the avocados were particularly good.

    I thought of you all tonight when I made dinnerโ€“ a (one pot) dish that I let my kids think they invented and so they eat it every time, no matter what vegetables I throw in. We use it to break them in to new ingredients by putting them in a familiar and beloved context (pasta with chickpeas and a little brothy/creamy sauce) I call it The Gateway.

    I havenโ€™t celebrated Motherโ€™s Day in years. As weโ€™re expecting our first child any day now, that might change.

    Rack of lamb will most likely happen either way. ๐Ÿ™‚

    We live in a university town that always holds graduation on Motherโ€™s Day, so restaurants are definitely out! Probably something on the grill or pancakes made by me and the oldest girl.
