After all the hullabaloo of the wedding (more on that in a minute) we had a nice quiet mother’s day brunch at home, using up some of the wedding leftovers:
- Broccoli & cheddar quiche – remember I did over buy on broccoli, and the nice 2-lb blocks of Tillamook cheddar that you can get at Costco are really the best reason to go there. I bought two although I probably only needed most of one.
- Fried potatoes, with some of our last indoor Rosemary, before it goes back out for the summer, and some garlic cloves I had peeled for pasta salad but did not use.
- Salad of course, with balsamic vinaigrette – remember I over bought even more on lettuce than on broccoli.
- Bacon.
Since John and Megan came to help with the wedding, they were here, and Ethan was here because it was Sunday. Megan said it was the third in a row mother’s day she’d been in Madison – her mom’s in Iowa. I thanked her a bunch. And Al finally called at a little after 5 p.m. He’ll be home next weekend and we’ll go out for belated mother’s day dinner then. We did that last year and if we do it again this year, I guess it’ll be a tradition.
