Something Fresh and Crisp from my Mother’s Kitchen
Pictured at left is some macaroni salad on a bed of mixed salad greens and a miniature tuna salad wrap. It’s the lunch I packed for today. Last night, my mother went into domestic mode and prepared a light but satisfying supper. A really crisp Ceasar salad, mushroom soup, and tuna salad wraps made quite interesting with green olives - healthy, refreshing and seriously satisfying.
Then she kept us plied with her killer-diller oatmeal chocolate-chip cookies studded with little bits of pili nut brittle. Just when everything was getting to be so virtuous, she feeds us these uber-decadent cookies that are crisp at the edges, chewy in the middle, and chocolaty all over.
All that said, I really have to doff my chef’s hat to my mom. She really is something else.
