When I was growing up, most retail operations would have a warehouse of some kind attached to the back of their store. It was not uncommon for a clerk to say, “We don’t have anymore on the shelf, but let me check in the back.” More times than not the clerk brought out what you needed. The breakdown in that supply chain was the failure of the employees to restock the shelves.
My husband’s culinary skills begin and end with making a great pot of coffee. With that in mind, I’ve created a simple Mother’s Day dinner recipe that even a non-cook can successfully follow. Preparing a meal is one of the best ways to show someone you love them. After all, the origin of Mother’s Day is rooted in a daughter’s love and respect for her mother.
