Well. Lads, ladies, things, Mother’s Day approaches and as usual mom is not making the meal. Typically dad does most of the heavy lifting and we just prepare the accouterments. This year he asked me and my youngest brother to figure it out. My brother has the culinary instincts of a Protozoa, and I love too cook. Ergo I am in charge and because I may be a bit of a control freak and hate cleaning dishes I have elected to take care of it myself. Here’s what we are having Starting off with a caprese salad: tomato, basil, mozzarella, balsamic, and oil. Next is a Venetian soup. After that we are having steak with a garlic herb compound butter and smashed potatoes (not mashed, smashed). We conclude our meal with panna cotta topped with a mixed berry compote. What are y’all doing?
