As
you all know, here in the U.S., yesterday was Mothers’ Day—a day wherein many
long-suffering mothers are forced to eat burnt toast in their pajamas and their
hard work and boundless love are rewarded with lop-sided homemade trinkets and
bunches of flowers torn from the front yard with the roots still attached.
Being
as I’m grasping to the end of my thirties and Bertie is the only creature
resembling a child in the family, my mother has, happily, survived those
traditional Mothers’ Day tortures to graduate to more sophisticated things in
her honor.
Each
year, my father cooks the Mothers’ Day meal.
He cooks twice a year—both times in May.
Once for Mothers’ Day and once for my mother’s birthday. He’s quite brave about this and doesn’t just
stick to typical father-dishes like hotdogs and boiled beans. No, he tries things—fancy things.
This
year, we were treated to a lovely meal of beef tenderloin with a sauce of cream
and gorgonzola cheese, caramelized onions and mushrooms, organic broccoli and
herbed mashed potatoes. It was a
daunting task and a job well done.
He
concluded his efforts with a tasty, sturdy homemade lemon meringue pie. Hooray for him. All were well-fed.

How sweet. The pie looks great! What a nice day. I am madly in love with those cookies!
A heroic meal. And the Punch cookies are adorable!
I would not dare cook on mothers day. Bravo. The cookies made me smile.
Looks good to me. The cookies are awesome.
Next year for Punch's 351, we shall require about 10000 of those. Think they'll hold up in the post? Beautiful stuff there. Makes me glad to see.
Beautiful cookies. I wouldn't mind having a Punch cookie. And, I think your dad did a great job!
You summed up my day pretty well, but I enjoyed it. This looks great. I should show it to Book Guy. Those cookies are to die for. I'm so jealous!
Good job! Great cookies!
I agree....how sweet.
Cheers! I love the biscuits!
He did a very nice job. I can't get over how cute the Punch and Judy cookies are.
Too cute and a nice dad, too.
Way to go! Awesome cookies 2!
I think that's really nice and the cookies are too, too darling.
How very nice. Mr. Punch would be pleased as well. Don't let the old croc at those.
