3016.0. "MENU: Breakfast Ideas for Mother's Day" by CARTUN::MICHAUD () Mon Apr 29 1991 11:44

    I'm looking for ideas for when I have a "special" kind of breakfast at
    hom e such as for Mother's Day.  We do have a waffle iron and fruit
    recipes would be nice for the warmer seasons.  Thanks very much!

    Every year since my wife has been a mother (11), we all have taken her
    to the beach and either cooked or bought lobsters.  As the kids (4)
    got/get older it becomes easier.  With the lobsters we have cole slaw,
    pb sandwiches, ring dings, chips, champagne, lemonade, and lots of fun. 
    My wife loves the beach, and it starts off the summer on a good note.

3016.5Spring fruit saladWORDY::STEINHARTPixillatedWed May 01 1991 14:1813
    To me, nothing's better this time of year than a fresh fruit salad of
    strawberries and whatever other wonderful things are now available. 
    Add a splash of liquer (sp?) such as Grand Marnier if you want to dress
    it up, plus maybe some fresh whipped cream.
    
    I remember bringing my Mom breakfast in bed.  She was very nice about
    it considering it's not her "thing".  Now that I'm a Mom, I could also
    pass on the breakfast in bed routine.  Why do freelance writers with
    nothing better to say, continue to advise kids that it's what Mom
    really wants?  I think I'll be happy if I just don't have to wash any
    dishes for one day.

3016.6fresh fruit syrup for wafflesTYGON::WILDEwhy am I not yet a dragon?Wed May 01 1991 18:4118
Mix a simple sugar syrup of 2 cups water to 2 cups sugar...bring to a simmer
over medium heat to thoroughly dissolve the sugar.  Remove from heat and
add a dash of fresh lemon juice (or more of a dash of fresh orange juice) to
taste.  Cut up small chunks of any/all of the following:

	fresh strawberries
	fresh/canned peaches
	fresh peeled kiwi fruit
	cantaloup balls
	seedless grapes (whole)

and turn into the syrup.  Store in refrigerator overnight to blend flavors
and cool thoroughly.  On mother's day, make waffles and serve the fruited
syrup on the side as a topping.  Decorate with fresh, sweetened heavy cream
that has been whipped to soft peak stage.  One little secret:  add a dash
of ground cinnamon, nutmeg, and a little sugar to the waffle batter.

Don't forget the rose.
