Birthday of The Mother

This week two former students of The Bigs came to campus to show everyone what they have been working on.

The GMC Hummer EarthCruiser EarthCruiser Upfit. I’ll take one for Christmas please.

It finally started snowing. We headed up to do a tour on Saturday during quite a storm.

Unfortunately, not too soon after we left, it started to rain and hasn’t stopped. Skiing in the PNW. After our ski we took The Mother to the Cuban Kitchen for a birthday dinner.

I had the slow-roasted pork marinated in mojo topped with sautéed onions, moro rice, and yucca fries.

Mom had ropa vieja (Shredded beef slow-cooked in tomato sauce, onions and peppers) with rice and fried plantains.

Dad also had the slow-roasted pork marinated in mojo topped with sautéed onions, moro rice, but he went with fried plantains.

And we got a side of tostones.

This morning I set up a birthday display for The Mother.

Under the sheet were two gifts laid out on a ‘gingham cloth’ (I’ve been watching the Great British Baking Show again).

I made Mom some mixed berry jam and

rye bread.

I also wrote her a card.

Dad made her a fancy breakfast of beet latkes, a fried egg, and fresh fruit.

Then there was the birthday brisket (The Bigs bought a lot of brisket).

And finally, a slice of cheesecake from a food truck dedicated to cheesecake located at Podskis.

It came with some advice.

She had a pretty amazing day.
