Mother's Day: May 10 2026

Today for Mother's Day I grilled some Prime Ribeye steaks which we ate outside in the backyard. Our son came over and surprised my wife with a beautiful bunch of large white roses.

We also had two different Russian cakes from the local bakery one called Nevesta which had coconut flakes on top of the white cream and chocolate sponge cakes with meringue, cream: butter, cheese cream, whipping cream, and condensed milk.

And the other one called: PTICHE MOLOKO which translates as Bird Milk. I know that is a really weird name because birds don't really have milk. But Bird Milk is a traditional Russian desert

Our son is not a big fan of coconut, but despite coconut he, my wife and I liked the Nevesta cake more. Our daughter liked the Bird Milk cake more because it was less sweet.

After having tea with cakes I gave Our son a haircut which he was very happy about. He said he was really tired of having a long hair. It wasn't really that long, but he likes his hair really short on the sides and kind of sporty.

After that we did a weight lifting workout, but this time we started with a modified version of one of the new workouts that I have been doing.

The original workout is ten sets of twenty pull ups, twenty push ups and twenty body weight squats. But I usually modify it to have ten sets of ten pull ups as two hundred pull ups in a single workout is a bit much for me.

Since he has had a break in his workouts due to his MBA classes in the university of Washington I modified the workout even further to have only fifty sets of five pull ups and twenty push ups and ten squats for him.

We did five rounds of this circuit and then followed up with a more traditional weight lifting workout with reduced number of sets. Kind of like an introductory workout for him and a maintenance workout for me.

Then we went to a local movie theater and saw The Devil Wears Prada 2. It was actually a really good movie and I liked it more than the first one. Though I have appreciation for both due to my background as a fashion photographer in the past.

We were also planning to stop by the Fireside Grill at the Willows Lodge, but the ladies kind of ran out of steam and wanted to just go back home and relax for the rest of the evening.

It was a nice peaceful Sunday before going back to work tomorrow. We kind of had three days of celebration of the mother's day. I feel rested out and ready for the week ahead.
