Mothers Day For My Honey

When I asked Bev if she wanted to do or eat anything special for Mother’s Day, I was expecting something like a “grilled filet mignon” or “that catfish dish I like” but what I got was “let me call Pat (our neighbor) and see if she’s interested in a hot dog roast and bonfire.  

Well, the neighbors had no plans, a fire by the lake is near the top of Pat’s favorite things list, so a plan was born.

But before the supper meal, I thought she also deserved a special breakfast and I offered one of her favorites of Southwest Breakfast Nachos from Kathy’s A Spoonful Of Thyme blog and we last had them in Jan, 2018.   I usually don’t like to make them as not much can be dome ahead of time so the cooking is all done in the morning, but hey, it is Mothers Day.  No need to re-post the recipe but here are a few shots beginning with Bav and Cindy watching me cook.

The moms and I all enjoyed it especially when washed down with some Peach Spumanti.  Next time I make it I’m going to try something different – after cooking the veggies, mix in the ham and sauce then scramble the eggs with the mixture.  This will make it less like built-up nachos but distribute things, especially the sauce, more evenly on the potatoes – I’ll add the cheese as usual.

After a well deserved relaxing day for the moms (I cleaned up the kitchen and finished mowing), we headed down to the lake for our hot dog roast and enjoy Steve’s fire – I keep think it will be our last time but we keep having cool spells, which I enjoy as heat will be here soon enough.

After eating the fire was built up and Pat enjoyed one of her favorite activities - playing with the fire.

It was a fun evening, as usual, with good food and good friends.

Have a great day and thanks for stopping by Almost Heaven South.
