Lentils are a new favorite around here.
I figured out that if you cook them with a nice ham hock, they taste great. My friends gave me a gift last year that included a lentil recipe and the dry ingredients with which to make it. I've included a vegan version, too.
Read MoreMy daughter really knows me. She got me the nicest Mother's Day gift a mom could ever want.
Two years ago, we went to London and Paris for the summer. We love to go to tea. We managed to go several times in France and once in England. Fortnum and Mason in London really made an impact on us. I loved the all of the place settings, especially the blue with gold rimmed teacups.
Well, my little lady found a very close replica of the teacup and gave it to me for mother's day. Such a thoughtful gift. Which, she told me, would also make a great prop for my photos.
There was also a nice set of photo magnet frames, that look like the outer edge of a Polaroid, but with lovely pastel patterns on them. We are going to clear off the fridge and make a fancy gallery up there. Both of these gifts came from a store called Typo, which I think is Australian.
We will get back to London someday to have more lovely tea, but for now, we can recreate it here in our own home with this great teacup.
Happy mother's day to you all!
