Mother's Day - A Royal Event

Mother's Day is truly a Holiday for that very special person in your life that has catered to, taken care of, and brought you to where you are today! She has served countless meals, washed thousands of dishes, kissed hundreds of "owies" and has been there to hold your hand for those monumental catastrophes as well as little "molehill" disappointments . While you may not have agreed with everything she did or say, you could always count on her love and care. Serve her royally, give her only the very best, and watch the delight in her eyes. Enjoy! MONTH OF MAY OMELET 2 cups of her favorite springtime fruit, such as strawberries, bananas, pears, early peaches, blue- berries, etc. 1/3 cup plain yogurt 2 tbs. honey 1/4 tsp. ground cinnamon 1 tbs. butter 2 eggs, well beaten 2 ozs. mild cheddar cheese, grated Edible flowers for garnish In a small bowl, stir together the yogurt and honey. Gently add the cinnamon. Set the mixture aside. Melt 1 tbs. butter in a pan over medium heat. Pour in the well beaten eggs.. As the ends of the omelet begin to dry, lift it gently so that the re- mainder of the egg mixture can cook. Remove the omelet to a warm plate. Sprinkle the mild cheddar onto the cooked omelet. Place under broiler for 1 min. until cheese is melted and the eggs are done. Spread 1-1/2 cups of the fruit mixture onto the omelet. Top with a dollop of the yogurt mixture. Fold the omelet over the fruit. Spoon the remaining fruit over the folded omelet. Garnish with a spoonful of the yogurt and the edible flowers. Not only great tasting, and very special, but beautiful to behold as well . With this omelet, serve a fresh, hot cup of coffee or tea (with lemon slice). Also using frozen hash-brown potatoes, add 1/2 cup of finely diced white onion, for that very unique touch. Meat: 2 slices of hickory bacon or maple flavored pork sausage links, or honey ham. A nicely toasted English muffic, with a pat of butter placed on a small plate with a lacy paper doilie beneath the muffin. . Place fresh flowers in a bud vase, add a linen napkin tied with yarn, in your mother's favorite color. A hand- made card signed by everyone adds that lovely personal touch. You have just made Mom - Queen for a Day! Special Note: If mom is far away and you cannot travel on Mother's Day, try telephoning, and let all the kids say HI. When you send a card, enclose a few special treats - such as pretty flowery postage stamps, a roll of elegant address labels, or a unique checkbook covered that you made by applying contact paper to a pre-existing cover, but personalizing it as only you could. If mom is in a care facility, make it a top priority to-do item to visit. Bring along gifts that she will enjoy and treasure: hairpins or combs that you have hot-glued birthstones of each of her children or grandchildren; picture frames using this same technique and include a collage of small photos . Teddy bears (small), stuffed animals, small boxes to hold "special" things, lap quilts, or personal items in a carrying case you made just for her. Sure, store bought items are beautiful, but hand-made are exceptionally enduring and comforting to hold and admire time after time . Thank you.
