Happy Mother's Day

As Mother's Day approaches I sit to eat breakfast with my four year old after dropping his big brother at school. Angus and I share a fruit platter and I delight in some avocado on toasted sourdough – fresh ground pepper – delightful. Recently I found a new bakery and their sourdough is sensational - I am in a sourdough and avocado mood (I am not ashamed to admit it has been a mood that has lasted a few weeks now, and doesn’t look to be leaving soon). I top it off with my morning coffee and it is a very good start to the day.

Angus and I talk and I tell him I am thinking about Mother's Day and what Nanna and I might do for Mother's Day. I tell him it is a treat day for all the Mummys and Nannas of the world.

I start to think about what the day could be like and allow myself to daydream just a little. My Mum
is one of the most amazing ladies I have ever met and doing anything with Mum
is always fulfilling. I imagine us indulging in a seafood platter at one of my
favourite restaurants, with a nice sparkling wine and maybe a movie in
Gold Class. I can also picture a full day spa – a day of total luxury,
relaxation and hours of soothing massage.

And what could be better than the freedom of shopping to
my hearts content without the children in tow?

Didn't like this recipe. I think there's way too much cocoa. I had to add more bananas, vanilla and milk just to get it close to edible...By sueinthecity
