May Events – Mother’s Day & Taste of Arlington

Just before you know it, its going to be Mother’s Day (May 9th). This year, don’t be the one hunting down the aisle at CVS looking for a card and flowers at the last second. Get your mother something nice. Something she will cherish. I highly recommend ordering her a TasteBook.

Last year, I secretly stole all of my mothers favorite recipe cards, cookbook recipes, and clippings from newspapers, and compiled them into a single bound cookbook that had all of our ‘family’ recipes. I liked the book so much, I bought one for myself, AND my mother in law. As an added bonus TasteBook links in to Epicurious and Food Network, so it is super easy to import your favorite online recipes. An added bonus, in future years, you can print more recipes for her to add to the cookbook. Its the gift that keeps on giving. This is not an ad, I don’t get paid by TasteBook, I just think they have an awesome product.

On May 16th, its Taste of Arlington. Delicious food from dozens of great restaurants, you get to eat outside and it’s dog friendly. Add a trip to Home Depot afterwards, and it is the perfect little Sunday. You can get discounted tickets over at WTD. When you go to Taste of Arlington, make sure you stop by Sangam and meet Ed, he might be the friendliest restaurant owner you will ever meet. I am really hoping that Carlye serves their crab cakes again, and last year I fell in love with the Ribs at Restaurant 3. Don’t miss it.
