Mother's Day 2009

Poor Becky was a good sport about Mother's Day this year. It's been kind of a hectic month, and she got flowers for the front of the house, and the kids and I made her a special dinner. Sara made her homemade Chicken Cordon Bleu and I made my signature Rhubarb Custard Pie. We always love that rhubarb pie, but for some reason, this year it turned out like this:



It usually has a reddish filling, but we ran out of red food coloring. Not realizing that, I grabbed what looked like "red", but it was actually "yellow" (I didn't notice the yellow cap". When Sara questioned me on it, I decided that rather than having a really, really yellow pie, I would just add blue and make it a greenish color instead (sort of like Rhubarb, right?). It didn't look appetizing, but it was delicious. We'll see if we can't do anything better for Becky next year...she deserves it!
