So this last Monday was Mother’s Day and well… I didn’t do much of anything for any of the mother’s in my life. We’ve been so broke and I have no free time. We’re talking not even a Hallmark Card. My plan was to make plaster hand prints of the boys and hand them out. Then the sickness occurred. I’m just now getting around to it. I managed all of 1.5 hand prints before running out of plaster when I was aiming for 5 total. Ugh. Somedays I feel like life wants me to go back to bed.

Matt and I had a small disagreement about his mother (because it was my fault I didn’t get her a card, I guess.). He said that he’s under the impression that I didn’t want Ann coming over ofter because the house is never clean enough for company. I was under the impression that she’d rather stay at her house and entertain. Long story short Matt invited his parent’s over for dinner this weekend. Now I have to get everything clean, look presentable and make dinner. I have no idea what to make.

Matt would like the normal run-out of his favorite fattening never-admit-you-make-it-for-your-family dinners. I’d like to do something special. Besides I picked up a couple of cookbooks from the library and have been itching to test out some new recipes.

I noticed that cherries seem to be on sale currently so I’m gonna head on down to the market and take a look. I’m thinking about making a Cherry Clafoutis. Matt’s parent’s aren’t big dessert people but I never pass up the opportunity to try something new.

I don’t even know where I was going with this. Any ideas for dinner? Maybe some barbecue?
