Happy Mother's Day!

Off topic y'all!

Its not Mother's Day in the UK (that was in March, I think). In fact it is celebrated on different days across the world:Why is Mother’s Day celebrated at different times around the world?
Mother’s Day has become more secular and commercialised and is now celebrated globally.

Some countries gave it a religious meaning, which has been gradually lost over the years.
In other countries, the date is based on seasons or times of the year.
While Nigeria joins the UK and Ireland in celebrating mothers on the fourth Sunday of Lent, most countries around the world follow America’s lead in celebrating the holiday on the second Sunday in May, which this year is May 14.
Others, including Russia, Vietnam, and Afghanistan, mark the occasion on International Women’s Day on March 8.
In France, the festivity is traditionally celebrated on the last Sunday of May, but it is moved to the first Sunday of June if it coincides with Pentecost day.

Mother’s Day 2024: When is it in the UK and why is it celebrated on different days?.
 
If you children are through bickering, can we get back to Mother's Day?
Sunday of last week my 92-year-old Mother returned from a train trip to Washington D. C. It was a bucket list trip. She loved every minute and said she is ready to go again.
Yesterday was Mother's Day in the U.S. Baby Brother prepared a feast. Beef tenderloin cut 1 3/4" thick, a simple seasoning of olive oil, salt and pepper, Smoked with oak low and slow. When it reached medium rare temperature Brother took it out of the smoker and reverse seared the loin chops.
He served spring greens, spinach and grape tomato salad with his homemade vinegarette, seared summer squash and zucchini, sauteed mushrooms and simple boiled potatoes with salt pepper and butter. The Tenderloin chop was plated over a Demi Glase sauce and topped with crab meat and homemade Hollandaise Sauce.

Mother is so cute. She sat at the table taking in all of our love and adoration. She would giggle if we said something funny. Put her hand over her face if anyone said something even remotely inappropriate. When the food was served her focus was on the food. I helped her cut her meat, other than that she scarfed everything down. Mom does frequently eat with her fingers. If that makes it easier for her nobody cares.
