I am at work to start brunch before my team gets in and then preparing for a wine dinner in one dining room and musical performance with Kevin Costner in another. It will be a busy day and gone before you know it. My first thought this morning was of my wife, we have no children but do have dogs, cats and birds, it is a fury feathered family and I give her a Mother's Day card from them. My second thought was of my mother who has been gone for many years, my understanding of food comes from her. I know today she would make asparagus with Hollandaise.
Her preparation and mine are a bit different but the result is the same and no matter how many times I have made or will make it again I always judge it by her standards and would serve nothing less. I remember helping her make it using lots of butter, not clarified, egg yolks that came from her chickens or someone who lived close by and lemon juice with some salt and pepper, maybe this is why it is so hard to replicate since she kept it simple.
Happy Mother's Day Mom.
