What A Beautiful Day


Leading up to mother’s day I was a little melancholy but my darling son saw to it that I had a perfect mother’s day! Friday, my son came in from work and presented me with a box of chocolate covered strawberries, how sweet. Mother’s Day morning he took his dad and me to breakfast at Luce http://www.lucewinerestaurant.com/, this modern and sophisticated restaurant is located on Howard St. at 5th.

The breakfast brunch menu had a nice mix of light fare to more robust morning afternoon meals, we chose the traditional breakfast. Starting with coffee and fresh squeezed orange juice I had good old fashion pancakes; my son had the American classic with sausage, eggs, toast and hash browns, and my husband had the pastry basket.

The food was great, the service was excellent and the room was beautiful but spending the morning with my son and husband was simply special. Since I have my own family I understand how much joy my mother felt just being surrounded by her children - - mother’s are so easy! At the conclusion of our meal the waiter gave me a gift bag and two beautiful tulips. Oh what a beautiful morning…..

After breakfast we came home, my husband made mimosas and I sipped and lounged around all day. Towards evening I began to wonder about dinner, I began to mill around the kitchen and my son told me to go upstairs and relax until dinner. I was called down to dinner and was served a delicious cat fish dinner with roasted potatoes and asparagus. The fish was fried but not greasy at all, everything was prepared perfectly. The food was tasty - - the apple doesn’t fall far from the tree if you get my meaning.

While my son was tiding up the kitchen his dad made a run to Anthony’s Cookies http://anthonyscookies.com/ for dessert - - Oh what a beautiful day thanks to my darling son!
