We celebrated mom’s 90th last month during our annual traveling family reunion that we call Beercation. Lots of good food was consumed along with plenty of adult libations!

My oldest sister got here on mom’s birthday to officially kick things off. We had grilled chicken and cauliflower tomato fritters. Very tasty! I’d brought my griddle home from the camper to do some maintenance on it and it did great!IMG_4793.jpeg

The next day we had some chicken quesadillas with homemade sourdough tortillas! Once again, the griddle makes short work of this! IMG_4797.jpegIMG_4798.jpeg
The next day we had a pork loin roulade filled with spinach and cheese. Pammi made a tomato pie to go with it

Pammi made a delicious breakfast the next morning. Bacon, sausage, tomato/potato pie and blueberry scones!! Soooogood!

Smoked for about 18 hours with a simple homemade rub, it turned out great as always!

The next day was family tattoo day. We’ve decided that the guy here in Charlotte is our favorite tattoo artist, so he gets most of our business. None for mom, her doctor said no!
But here’s what the rest of us got

Those tomato pies are amazing, recipe? ( asking for you know who ) wink, wink. :)
She said that she sliced and roasted some tomatoes. We got some yummy heirloom tomatoes from the farmers market. She then layered them with cheese in a par cooked pie shell
It can be served warm or room temperature
 
That's a damn fine meal more meals and way cool for your Mom's 90th. Oh my mom wanted for her 94th was a pepperoni pizza. She got the best one that we can find. It makes good memories thank you
 
Beercation, I didn't see one beer in any of those photos, just a bunch of good eats....:)
