Surprise!
It’s a Mother’s Day guest blog post!
When
we were little girls playing house or kitchen or whatever it is we played,
Daughter C would whip up the occasional imaginary quiche. When the chimerical
culinary creation was ready, the “oven timer”, played by Daughter C, would
alert all those within ear-shot with the piercing cry “Ding! My quiche is
ready!”. Sure, most kids play pretend house and kitchen but do they all make
pretend quiche? I doubt it. This sort of creativity is probably something
unique to my mother’s daughters.
Though
her imaginary quiche was no doubt delicious, I don’t think Daughter C has ever
actually made a quiche in real life. Kat, however, has probably made dozens of
such creations. She is quite the cook. Luckily, Kat is “on call” for consults
when Daughter C or I try to whip up some real food (thanks to Mr. Big Food’s
handy work we don’t do this too often). Hopefully she’ll be available tomorrow
as I attempt to make my very first Quiche Loraine in honor of Mother’s Day.
Who
deserves a Mother’s Day brunch more than Mrs. Big Food? She works harder than
anyone I know. Mrs. Big Food works full time growing our food, keeping our home, caring
for our pets, preserving our memories and history. For all of this work, she
receives no salary and often no thanks but she continues to do it. To you, she
may be just another blogger but to us she’s a real life hero, an inspiration,
and the best mom there ever was.
Happy
Mother’s Day, Mom!

What a marvelous Mother's Day gift!! Excellent post, Miss M! Happy Mother's Day, Mrs. Big Food :). Love you!!
ReplyDeleteWonderfully said Miss M. Happy mother's day Mrs. Big Food! Miss you guys!!
ReplyDeleteAnd you're right, miss M, I've never made a real quiche! But I'm a culinary genius of imaginary quiches!
ReplyDeleteIndeed, Daughter C. You're a virtuoso of virtual vittles!
ReplyDeleteOh my gosh! What a wonderful guest post! So thoughtful... . Thank you Miss M.
ReplyDeleteAnd thanks to all for the Mother's Day wishes.
I'm having a great day!! Thank you.
Quiche was superb, by the way. :-) Thank you thank you!
I love it! I vividly remember C baking her quiches. These were typically baked sometime after we were put to bed but before we fell asleep. Once the timer dinged, C would walk to her downstairs kitchen (tucking her head under the covers and knock on the headboard for footsteps). I thought it was amazing that she had a kitchen in her bed, but I didn't. C'est la vie. I've certainly seen my fair share of kitchens since then, though none so amazing as to be hidden in a bed.
ReplyDeleteI hope Miss M's real quiche turns out as well as this lovely guest post did!
And Happy Mother's Day, Mom!!!!
ReplyDeleteYay, to all of this: the pretend quiches, the real one, the blog post, the daughters, and certainly the mom! You are all great. Happy belated Mother's Day!
