Mothers' Day eats
So here I am, planning a menu for Sunday brunch (some kind of quiche, lox and bagels, pancakes for the kids) and was wondering you all take the opportunity to go crazy and make the most fattening dishes of deliciousness ever, or do you keep it simple?
What's the plan?

Anna make that 19 ppl, I'll be there with bells on! I think sunday I'll do some chicken stock and maybe a small pot of chicken stew. If I feel really ambitious I may make either some biscuits or maybe even some "real" bread. My moms been gone more than 20 yrs and MIL is too so not a big holiday for me.

When I lived at home, the last time I did anything for Mother's Day *on* Mother's Day, was take my mother to a restaurant of her choice. I don't even remember where anymore.
I haven't mailed my Mother's Day gifts to my stepmother or mother-in-law yet, even though we bought the gifts last weekend. I've been lackadaisical this year because my stepmother is out of the country and my MIL is really laid back.
On Sunday, we're going out with friends to an Indian restaurant for lunch.
Mmmm Jello!

Are you a mother? Shouldn't someone be cooking for you (if you are)? Your menu sounds quite nice.
Our plan is actually to go out to eat. My mom preferred that to having me cook ;) We asked food bloggers what they're doing and here is what they said.

My mother-in-law doesn't eat or enjoy food all that much (she is one of those people who, having eaten 3 lettuce leaves, go on and on for the next 30 minutes about how full they are). But luckily, I've noticed that she may occasionally have a biscotto with her coffee (yes, just one, but that's something). So I'm going to make a batch of pistachio and cranberry biscotti for her (although I still make change it to chocolate & walnut, we'll see). Tomorrow I'll be hunting for a pretty biscuit tin or, failing that, a cellophane bag or something like that.

My mom is my hero so it has to be special... I'm making dinner. The menu: mediterranean meze platter; grilled wild halibut cheeks with preserved lemon, parsley and mint; sauteed baby artichoke salad with oven roasted tomatoes and pecorino romano; homemade rosemary flatbreads; and for dessert- grilled peaches drizzled with rosewater syrup over greek yogurt. Plus some lovely bottles of wine... I hope she'll like it!
