Ina and Bobby, you are delicious and Hayley, you can't boil an egg!

Oh my, Oh my, Oh my! I have been in culinary bliss upon my return and it reached its epic peak last night for our Mother's Day feast! well, perhaps not the peak...my edible exploits are far from a downward slope, excluding my pathetic failure to boil eggs this morning. Oppsie Daisies. Apparently there is a reason why people are so persnickety about the "technique" for a perfect hard-boiled egg. However, I am going to pretend that never happened, since I technically just went for it thinking, "well, how hard can it be to boil an egg?"
Then again, its not like I cracked it open and found steamed asparagus, but the yolk was slightly undercooked. Some people actually prefer it that way, and well, I just might be one of them! But its not over eggs! Watch out for those of you hiding in my fridge hoping to be scrambled because I will find you and (after a bit of a struggle) boil you to hard boiled perfection!

Not to toot my own horn, but I did prepare a spectacular spread last night thanks to Ina and Bobby, and my Su-chief's, of course! For the salad it was a scrumdiddly-umptious spinach and pea salad sprinkled with pine nuts and Parmesan,and tossed in a pesto dressing. Then, Bobby's grill-tastic chicken breasts wrapped around an herbed goat cheese mixture with roasted red peppers and a sweet pesto sauce. Then, some wonderfully plump tomatoes sauteed in garlic, thyme, and basil, and my family's favorite penne with sweet potato and fennel dish served with Parmesan cheese! Then, for dessert I made a rich, dark chocolate truffle cheesecake that made you wish you were a cow with multiple stomachs! ( Which is ridiculous since cows aren't even intelligent enough to eat anything other than FREAKING grass!!!!) oh, well. C'est la vie!

Kitchen, how can I describe how much I love you?
Stomach, do not EVER stop needing food!
Bobby and Ina, never leave me!
Eggs, watch out because Ima coming!!!!!!!!
