Day o’ the Moms!

Happy Mother’s Day to all you folks out there with kids of your own or kids that you’ve taken on as your own! I hope you’re spoiled rotten today :)

My mom is coming over here for a nice surprise day, I’ll post pictures later…it’s gonna be cute!

“A mother’s love for her child is like nothing else in the world. It knows no law, no pity. It dares all things and crushes down remorselessly all that stands in its path.”

– Agatha Christie (1890-1976), English novelist and playwright.

So it went great :) The stuff I had up my sleeve for mom included:

The Gift: Arlo Guthrie’s Alice’s Restaurant CD – This was a special gift, I remember as a kid that mom would play this on her record player and I would just giggle listening to his song “Alice’s Restaurant”. Mom LOVED it…and I’m wicked happy about that ;) If you’ve never heard of this guy ya may wanna check him out, he’s awesome :)

The Meal: My good buddy Zeb at Papa John’s Pizza hooked me up with this super cute heart shaped pepperoni pizza! Mom didn’t realize it was a heart shape for a bit, so I had to laugh when we sat down and she went “Ohmygawd! It’s heart shaped!” Too funny…

The Heart Shaped Pizza!

The Dessert: I had received a tasty sounding recipe at work for a Brownie Martini and decided that Mother’s Day would be the best time to try it out. Our stupid ghetto Walmart had other plans though as they didn’t have everything I needed for it so I just improvised and made a nice little turtle brownie ice cream concoction. Of course mom loved that too :) Below is the recipe if you’d like to give it a shot, it’s yummy :)

The brownie Martini!

The Brownie Martini
-Martini Glass
-Chocolate Syrup
-Brownie
-French Vanilla Ice Cream
-Kahlua
-Caramel Sauce
-Raspberries
-Whipped Cream

Using the chocolate syrup drizzle it around the inside of a chilled Martini Glass. Set a small square of brownie in the bottom of the glass, and top with a scoop of ice cream. Add a splash or two of Kahlua and some more syrup over the top of the ice cream. Then drizzle a little caramel sauce over and top with raspberries and a dollop of whipped cream. YUMMY!

I hope all the mom’s got spoiled rotten today :)

    Sounds like a great day. My Mom is a state and half away from me so I had to do with calling her and talking to her.

    …I told my daughter NOT to do anything…what with the cost of living and all…and she proceeds to pull this glorious day outta her hat!

    I am so fortunate to have you as a daughter.

    Love, {from deep within}
    Mom

    I can say I wasn’t nearly as spoiled as your mom!

    I had to make my own margaritas all day. For myself, my MIL, and my mom!
