Mother's Day 2010

It's Mother's Day once again and we all got together for our annual brunch at the Worthington Hotel. Dad treats us all. One of the best parts, for me anyway, is that we get to spend Mother's Day with BOTH our moms.
Me & my mom.
John & his mom.

I think this is a day we all look forward to. The Worthington Hotel in Ft. Worth puts on a nice spread. This year was no different. They had breakfast items, including a breakfast casserole that had egg, bacon, cheese and I don't know what else. It was very tasty. They also had a hash brown casserole that was pretty good. On the lunch buffet, they had beef tenderloins in some sort of sauce. This was the best item on the buffet. There was also pork tenderloin, some sort of potatoes, roast beef and ham.

So the general plan is that we come in starving. We indulge in a little breakfast. They have an omelet station that will make you any kind of omelet that you want. If you want to try anything else, skip this station. It's also wise to skip all bread products. It takes up too much room.

After scarfing down a quick breakfast, we move on to lunch. This year, I followed John's lead and went to the salad bar. I should know better. I have limited room and have to plan for the good stuff. I left most of the salad and went for lunch. I skipped the veggies and the potatoes and went for the pork tenderloin that I wanted to try and the beef tenderloins. The pork was good but the beef was delicious. In retrospect, I wish I hadn't wasted space on any of the other stuff.

The last station to hit is dessert. They had key lime bites (my favorite), chocolate cupcakes (mini-size), a berry tart, sugar-free cheese cake, petite fours and chocolate mousse. I had a little bit of the first three items and skipped the last few. As always, the dessert was the best. I was stuffed and ready for a nap when we left.

Mom (Chaney) always wants a picture of all of us but it's always at the end of the meal when we're stuffed. It's kind of funny really. So here we are - the Chaney family after a full two hour meal at the Worthington Hotel.
