So Happy Mother's Day everyone! Today I got up and my wonderful hubby made me the most wonderful strawberry pancakes ever with crispy bacon! Yum! Above is a picture of my adorable JE holding what he made for me on Mother's Day...it's a flowering plant (not sure what kind yet...I guess I'll be surprised...that is is I don't kill it by accident first!) He decorated the potter of it with crape paper and glued it on! So sweet! He was so proud of it when he gave it to me! Love it!
Yesterday while out shopping I picked a few small things for myself...I got to buy some concert tickets to Umphrey's (but I have to wait until September to see them...WAAAA!) and I got a DVD. Black Swan. It was on sale at Target. I didn't hate it. I didn't love it. John had nightmares from it! It was strange...but the dancing was amazing, and Natalie was great in it. Yeah...I call her Natalie! :)
Then today I went off to Farmer's Market for the forst time this season! Got some asparagus, scallions, lettuce, smoked chicken breast, and get this...a ham hock! What is a ham hock exactly? I may not want to know...but I still had plenty of yummy Easter ham leftover and decided to make Ham and Bean (and BACON...because really...can we ever get enough BACON in our lives?) and used some scallions to go into it too. When I looked up a receipe for this online it called for a ham hock. Then I was at Farmer's Market and there they were at the Bucher's Stand there for $2.00! DEAL! Here a pic of it above! I'm having it tonight for dinner along with a fresh salad! I can't wait!
Well it's lunch time now...gotta run....a special DOVE bar is calling my name! Happy Mother's Day to ME! :)

I do not know what a ham hock is, either, but in bacon news, that is the ONE meat I miss since going meat-free over a year ago.
