The Mother's Day Meal We Cooked Last Week

We are now entering the phase of this website known as "the phase in which Adam juggles writing his blog and writing his book." I have decided that when it comes down to choosing the best place to share new material--the blog or the book--the best choice is the book because the book is more permanent. Accordingly, I will now share pictures with you from the Mother's Day dinner we cooked last week (when I say "we" I mean my brother and I) but no commentary. Look for the commentary next year when you buy the book!

Here's the meal:

Greek Salad

Chicken with 40 Cloves of Garlic

Green Beans with Roasted Vegetables

Potatoes (HINT FOR THE BOOK: these didn't come out very well)

Mom and I applying the strawberries to the Strawberry Country Cake:
