Mother's Day Action

The kitchen was small-kine busy today as we prepared for our Mother's Day lunch.

Here's Didi pouring Worcestershire sauce over prime rib which she had already seasoned with her Dd's Season-All which contains, among other ingredients, Hawaiian salt, alae salt, garlic salt and Italian seasoning.
Didi's husband Glenn put the meat over some charcoal and Keawe wood and then covered!Meanwhile, Didi started to roll out some premade pie crust dough to make empanadas.

The filling too was already made before coming to my house.

Here she's using my handy Coke cup cookie cutter.

I looooove this shot.

Here's Didi doing that rope trim thing that me and Leslie didn't know how to do.

Applying an egg wash before throwing into the oven.

And then at the same time, my son Landon was preparing some scallop soup.

After awhile, Glenn went to test out the meat.

Ready!!

Here's the baked empanadas and some chimichuri sauce.

Landon's scallop soup.

And the prime rib!

My sister Geri brought this salad. I love the strawberries in it, not just 'cause it tastes good, but because the red and green coloring makes for a nice picture.

Here's my nephew Charles (on the left) and his friend Stephan.

My nephew Daniel made this bundt cake. It was sooo moist.

Safeway made this chocolate cream pie.

My sister Leigh made this Bavarian tart.

Here's a sight you don't see too often. My nephew Aaron is braiding his mom's hair. My mom just can't believe it. Me too.
This wine was forgotten in the freezer. I thought the ice crystals looked so cool.
