Mother's Day
- A Royal Event
by Arleen M. Kaptur
Mother's Day is truly a Holiday
for that very special person in your life that has catered to, taken care of,
and brought you to where you are today! She has served countless meals, washed
thousands of dishes, kissed hundreds of "owies" and has been
there to hold your hand for those monumental catastrophes as well as little
"molehill" disappointments
.
While you may not have agreed with everything she did or say, you could always
count on her love and care.
Serve her royally, give her only the very best, and watch the delight in her
eyes. Enjoy! MONTH OF MAY OMELET
2 cups of her favorite springtime fruit, such as strawberries, bananas, pears,
early peaches, blueberries, etc.
1/3 cup plain yogurt
2 tbs. honey
1/4 tsp. ground cinnamon
1 tbs. butter
2 eggs, well beaten
2 ozs. mild cheddar cheese, grated
Edible flowers for garnish
In a small bowl, stir together the yogurt and honey. Gently add the cinnamon.
Set the mixture aside.
Melt 1 tbs. butter in a pan over medium heat. Pour in the well beaten eggs.. As
the ends of the omelet begin to dry, lift it gently so that the remainder of the
egg mixture can cook. Remove the omelet to a warm plate. Sprinkle the mild
cheddar onto the cooked omelet. Place under broiler for 1 min. until cheese is
melted and the eggs are done.
Spread 1-1/2 cups of the fruit mixture onto the omelet. Top with a dollop
of the yogurt mixture. Fold the omelet over the fruit. Spoon the remaining fruit
over the folded omelet. Garnish with a spoonful of the yogurt and the edible
flowers.
Not only great tasting, and very special, but beautiful to behold as well
With this omelet, serve a fresh, hot cup of coffee or tea (with lemon slice).
Also using frozen hash-brown potatoes, add 1/2 cup of finely diced white onion,
for that very unique touch.
Meat: 2 slices of hickory bacon or maple flavored pork sausage links, or honey
ham.
A nicely toasted English muffin, with a pat of butter placed on a small plate
with a lacy paper doily beneath the muffin.
Place fresh flowers in a bud vase, add a linen napkin tied with yarn, in
your mother's favorite color. A handmade card signed by everyone adds that
lovely personal touch.
You have just made Mom - Queen for a Day!
Special Note: If mom is far away and you cannot travel on Mother's Day, try
telephoning, and let all the kids say HI.
When you send a card, enclose a few special treats - such as pretty flowery
postage stamps, a roll of elegant address labels, or a unique checkbook covered
that you made by applying contact paper to a pre-existing cover, but
personalizing it as only you could.
If mom is in a care facility, make it a top priority to-do item to visit. Bring
along gifts that she will enjoy and treasure: hairpins or combs that you have
hot-glued birthstones of each of her children or grandchildren; picture frames
using this same technique and include a collage of small photos
.
Teddy bears (small), stuffed animals, small boxes to hold "special" things, lap
quilts, or personal items in a carrying case you made just for her. Sure,
store bought items are beautiful, but hand-made are exceptionally enduring and
comforting to hold and admire time after time
.
Thank you.
