not sure what herbs you used, but this makes for a perfect balsamic pear sauce...  what went wrong with the taters? |

Had Mother's Day lunch with my mum and dad and my sister and her husband. My sister's also pregnant and she's due late October..woohoo..
Went and had some yum cha. Way too much food was eaten, but then for years now I've had the role of 'Food Machine' bestowed upon me... needless to say I haven't eaten since lunctime yesterday....LOL

Sometimes, the most you can do for the one you love. Is to stay the hell out of the way. Let's say, I went the extra mile. |

Made brunch (omelette's, fried taters, fruit, cheese biscuits, dumplings, and some other *feces*). Then my brothers and I played 31 holes (paid for 27, but had the course all to ourselves so we re-rounded 4 holes).

Play with Dad? Nope, dad backed out at the last second. He overworked himself yesterday and decided to "rest" (read: continue to overwork himself in the yard). |
