We celebrated mothers day early with the Flahertys last night with another mud oven feast. As usual, the food was as good as it was plentiful. I didn't get there until 7:00 pm, just in time for the first course of bruchette on home made bread baked with sun dried tomatoes. Next was the pasta course and the mud oven pizza course. Chris tried something new by roasting corn on the cob in the mud oven which took about 3 minutes at 800 degrees. Don't try this at home unless you have a mud oven of your own. We all ate our fill but saved room for the home made strawberry/mango pie.
A new twist was added to the entertainment last night when we hooked up young Sarah's digital projector to the laptop and played a movie under the stars, the way God intended it. Since it was Mother's Day, or nearly so, Sue got to pick the movie. Her inspired choice was the original Psycho from 1960 because "a boys best friend is his mother". It was the perfect finish to another fine dinner at Casa de Flaherty.
