May Part 1 (Meals, Mary, Movie, Moms Night Out, Mother's Day, Meow)

May seems forever ago, and I've really been busy but for our memories, I do wish to continue with the blog. It's honestly been pretty helpful when I'm looking for a photo for a family member or friend, or when Manny and I are trying to recall an event. But before it becomes ancient history, here we go for May:

Light minestrone soup

Pepper steak

Beef and zucchini

Berry cobbler with my leftover berry salad

The Pampered Chef ice cream scoop is my favorite

More Pampered Chef stuff I was using for an online demo

Pretty irises I grew from bulbs I got through Buy Nothing

Homemade tzatziki sauce. More Pampered Chef favorites: Citrus Press and Food Chopper

Aunt Mary (on the left) passed away in May. She was always so full of life and joy. Will be missed dearly at Christmas this year.

The first Doctor Strange was better. This one was a bit dark and violent for me, and as Isaac says, they "nerfed" him in this film.

Gift from my friend--spicy mango sauce (perfect), a satin pillowcase (perfect), and a coaster about being able to remember music lyrics better than why I walked into the kitchen (perfect).

Beautiful interior of Ettan (Cal-Indian fusion) restaurant

My friend A and me at Ettan

Delightful light desserts

Delicious and beautiful green salad

Curry leaves--so tasty and unique

Mother's Day flowers from the boys (Manny took them to get them) and Snoopy spatulas from Naomi

Thanks, Naomi!

Cuddly kitty

Naomi had her big milestone birthday in April, and we got to make up for our Hello Kitty Cafe celebration for my birthday by celebrating her...
