80-Year Old Food

Many of you may have heard of the 1000 year old eggs from Asia... well, we spent the last 2 weeks in Utah for my Mom's 80th Birthday, and while she isn't yet 1000 years old, we did have great food that could give the 1000 year old egg a run for it's money.
I didn't have enough time to do a "real" blog with recipes and such, but I DO have enough time to post numerous shots of the food we enjoyed over the past couple of weeks on our "Trip to Bountiful" - ha ha, cause I'm origianally from Bountiful.

We spent a few days in St. George at a condo that Mom has in a time share, and we enjoyed food cooked in the condo, as well as dinners out.

Pan-fried pork chops; French Toast with fresh strawberries and sausage; Pork salad bar....

okay, there's a pork theme going on here!

We spent a lovely day in Snow Canyon, and enjoyed a chipped beef sandwich, on wheat bread bought from the farmer's market, with cheese and, a diet coke.

And after our St. George Trip, we had a fabulous 80th Birthday party for Mother Mary, and Cousin Heather wowed everyone with her birthday cake made entirely of Rice Crispie Treats - commemorating the numerous places in the world Mom has traveled during her 80 years.

Happy Birthday Mom ! Love you!

Next week, really, a recipe-related blog.
