La fête des mères: I did it my way


Mother's Day, or la Fête des Mères, was a few weeks back in France.

Wouldn't it be fun to have a family who plotted and actually cooked a special Mother's Day meal?

Or one that made secret reservations for some great restaurant?

Are any of you so lucky? I'm not, but I can't complain. My family always treats me to some nice gifts for Mother's Day, and the holiday is certainly never forgotten. But the food is up to me.

This year I really did it my way: yummy stuff with as little preparation and complicated cooking as possible.

A nice jar of foie gras:


Simple seared salmon:

Some vegetables and cheese that didn't make the photo ops, and whatever was in the freezer for dessert -- in this case, a selection of mini-desserts from Géant:


I'm not a big dessert eater -- nor maker -- so a Mother's Day dessert with instructions limited to "Thaw in the refrigerator for three hours" was just dandy in my book.

A lovely meal indeed -- because I did it my way. Comme d'habitude.
