Honestly? I only just remembered that today was Mothers Day. No, I haven’t called my Mum yet, and yes, Ill call her soon. Probably. My family doesn’t take these Hallmark Holidays very seriously, and anyway, Ill be seeing her in person tomorrow.
My parents are in town for the next few days, wrapping up their three-week UK holiday with a couple days in London. I’m anticipating some dinners out, or maybe cooked at the flat they’re renting, but not many occasions to play hostess myself. Which is why I didn’t go all out at the market this morning, despite the huge array of spring produce on offer.
Instead, Ill whip up a couple quick dinners for Andrew and myself with the array above. The asparagus, radish, and fennel will make a lovely tart- Im thinking something like this to celebrate all those seasonal flavours. I’ve also got something in mind for those carrots- I’ve been thinking about this recipe ever since Dana posted it. Ill likely simplify a bit, but it looks like a winner.
Whats happening in your kitchen this week? Got any Mothers Day cooking planned?

I think it’s possible that you and I don’t take these Hallmark Holidays very seriously. I’m less convinced about Mum 😉

I do hope you make that carrot dish! It is so good – really unexpected flavors. I can’t wait to hear/see what you think!

Happened upon your site this morning. The photography is beautiful, the recipes look delicious, and I can’t wait to click around some more. I eat a mostly (but not completely) vegetarian diet as well and really enjoy your farmer’s market posts.
