    We’re harvesting our radishes and some arugula to make our first salad of the season. I’ve been infusing an herb vinegar with some of our oregano, thyme and rosemary for about a month for a vinaigrette. It’ll be a simple salad, but one that we made ourselves.

    Mother’s Day this weekend, so my sister and me have been cooking something up for our mum: a breakfast basket with some of her favs. Mostly small portions of a bunch of different jellies, she loves those.

    I toyed with the idea of an orchid, since she likes those too, but she already got enough she complains about taking too long to water them.

    Mum also decided to treat herself buy buying some salted cod, and told me I should be off the kitchen for the Sunday. Okay~ another thing to look forward*. (I’ll be probably cracking open my Pinot Noir to drink alongside it, bought last time I went to Argentina, a year ago.)

    Ah, and I’m glad my nephew found some perfume for my sister! He spent the afternoon checking for some with my mum, so the odds it works well for my sis are fairly high.

    *I wish I could help her in the kitchen, but… eh. Four hands cooking with her is complicated.

        Thanks! That’s the idea - make it memorable, not necessarily expensive.

        A shame she flat out refused to let me cook for her tomorrow. I’ll do it today, though (it’s one of her favs at least).
