To folks like me who are are afraid to cross the bridges with our cars without knowing where we’ll park!
Dang @LindaWhit that came out of nowhere. I only know you via cyberspace, but it’s clear to me that your mom did at least one big thing right…Raising her little girl (and sis) to become decent human beings. That’s all I want for my little spring onion.
Cheers to her.

Every one of your WFD posts feels like you are sharing a plate and glass not to mention a shit ton of butter 
with mom. Something tells me, that won’t change.

So what do you think?
@LindaWhit Linda, my moms been gone for 40 years but we chat daily. That’s what it’s all about. You’ll see.

Very flavorful, and nice texture, but as is often the case, too worn out after my “quest” to appreciate it. I hope it will keep a few days. It certainly didn’t have the look of the one in the original recipe. I didn’t (yet) crisp it in the pan after the sous vide.

I’m beat from too much walking. Feet are about to fall off (I wish).
Made arroz con pollo using leftover chicken tortilla soup. Steamed broccoli on the side. Hit the spot.
Too tired to finish my pre-travel thanksgiving cooking. Will finish at the other end.

Sorry for your loss.
I lost my dad two years ago and cooking was very much therapy and an escape. I always cooked but his death rendered my mom uninterested in cooking for a long time and I had to “step up” so to speak.
Miss him every day. And any meal that I cook that was his favorite, I can still see him getting ready to chow down. That will probably never cease.

You have warmed our hearts by sharing the grace with which you stayed by her side, and now I hope that you can feel the support flowing back to you from your HO friends.

Thank you, all. I’m reading your replies this morning with tears streaming down my face, and I appreciate your comments more than you can ever know.
I have several “Mom recipes” that I know will bring back the many good memories we shared.

As a part-time pescatarian/vegetarian (or whatever I am), I thought, man, I gotta make @LindaWhit mom’s lemon pot roast in tribute. I know my family would LOVE that.
