Took the family to the Marcus Whitman Hotel to treat mama. We all had a wonderful time and I did my best to frighten the oyster table into submission. Mama was well pleased, which was nice as she can be a fussy eater. She isn't picky about what she eats, but rather how it is prepared. Her enjoyment means lots of FRESH food, that isn't overdone, or fried, or fatty. The Marcus filled that bill to perfection.

So, a question. Is a baker's dozen oysters, along with ten large prawns, and a lot of salmon (both smoked, poached, and a mousse) too much? There may have been a fair amount of a lot of capresi salad and prosciutto involved as well, with some wonderful vegetables to accompany it all. Oh, and desserts, blood orange sorbet and lots of fresh fruit. And champagne, plenty of champagne.

Life is rough on mom's day!
