...5.9...Over the Weekend...

...first of all...I hope all of you Mom's out there had a wonderful Mother's Day...

...the Man and I went grocery shopping...because he wanted to go by the Asian Market and get things to make a Mother's Day dinner for me...

...I don't think there's anything usual here...except maybe the bag of little gorgeous red new potatoes...

...but this is the haul from the Asian Market...and that's going to be a pretty 'spendy' bowl of soup...haha...

...it got to be midday while we were out...so we stopped by a new-to-us Mexican Fusion restaurant...just a few blocks from the Asian Market...and got takeaway...I got a bean burrito...and they had a salsa bar so I loaded it up with their corn and black bean salsa and pico de gallo...so that made a nice late lunch for us...

...and this protein powder arrived from Amazon...it's yummy...we like their peanut butter one too...especially with banana blended in...

...I had put a loaf of whole wheat bread in the bread machine in the morning before we left and it was ready when we got home...so I got that sort of unevenly sliced...even with the slicing guide I didn't do such a good job...haha...now you know why they say..."the best thing since sliced bread"...because sliced bread is a really good thing...haha...

...so then Saturday evening we were still pretty full up from our late lunch...so I just boiled several of those little new potatoes...

...and we each had a big bowl of those as a kind of snacky supper...

...Sunday (Mother's Day)...after Church...the gifts started to arrive...a nice box of flowers from Our Airman...

...so we got those into the vase...

...and then a new puzzle...from the Man...YAY!...

...and then this adorable little package from our granddaughters...

...it's a sweetly beautiful bracelet...with both of their birthstones...and a little heart engraved Grandma...

...it's so sweet...I'll wear it a lot for sure...

...and then the Man got busy on his Vegan Tom Yum soup...lots of special ingredients...but really not too time consuming to put together...and he neatly packaged all of his leftover lemongrass, tamarind, lime leaves and thai peppers and put them in the freezer...because he's got plently to make this soup a few more times...haha...

...so he let that cook for a bit...

...and then added all of the fresh veg...

...and we had a delicious Vegan Tom Yum soup for Sunday dinner on Mother's Day...this is actually my first time ever having Tom Yum soup...

~Wishing you a lovely start to your week!...
