Mother's Day in UK

glitter-graphics.com

Mothering Sunday has been celebrated in Great Britain since the 16th century.
It always falls on the fourth Sunday in Lent, so therefore it is not a fixed date (this year it is the 2nd March).
Mothering Sunday was also known as Refreshment Sunday or Mid-Lent Sunday.
It was called Refreshment Sunday because the fasting for Lent was relaxed.
Approximately four hundred years ago people who lived in small villages made a point of not going to their local church but attending a service at their nearest town or city, to the 'Mother Church'.
If they had visited the Mother Church they would say they had gone a 'Mothering'.
Young boys or girls who worked in service were allowed the day to visit their families.
They would take a small gift of eggs or flowers (which they would have gathered on the way home). Sometimes the cook would have allowed them to bake a 'Simnel cake'.
Nowadays a Simnel cake is often baked as an Easter cake.
In modern Great Britain mothering Sunday is celebrated by children giving their mother's cards and giftsoften flowers or chocolates.
Many families go out for a traditional Sunday roast dinner to give mum the day off!
Mnay churches still celebrate by holding a special mothering Sunday service so that children can offer thanks to their mothers.
Children are given a small posy of flowers to present to their mother's.

You really are the greatest

If there was an "A" Grade Mother

There would be no contest.

Thank you mom for your love.

A play for Mums

Around the year mothers take care of their children. On Sundays or Saturdays mums usually take their sons and daughters to the cinema, theatres, fairs and so on. On Mother's Day children put a play for their Mums.

KRAK – SUBTITLES

CITIZEN : Listen to my favourite storyAbout Prince Krak who seemed to worry.

PRINCE KRAK: I am still my eye keeping. On that cave where dragon’s sleeping.

DRAGON: My heart is made of heavy stone. I’ll take Krak’s daughter, she will be gone.

PRINCESS: Oh no, bad dragon, leave me alone!

CITIZEN : Mother starts crying as well as Krak.

KRAK: Give my little daughter back!Give me back my little baby!

DRAGON: NO, she’ll be my beloved lady!

CITIZEN: The boy named Skuba lived there too. And he knew what to do.

SKUBA: I will buy some sulphur tomorrow to fulfill the sheepskin with no sorrow. When the dragon eats his meal I ensure he will be ill. He is not very suspicious.

DRAGON: Oh, that sheep looks so delicious!

CITIZEN: The dragon has got stomach ache. So he know the sheep was fake.

SKUBA: The bad dragon is our pastSo please marry me at last!

PRINCESS: As you see I’m Skuba’s bride and I’m telling this with pride.

Moja kochana Mama

Moja mama jest kochana

Zawsze ma dla dzieci czas.

Co dzień krząta się od rana

I do szkoły budzi nas.

Potem chlebek kupi w sklepie
I masełkiem posmaruje,

Przygotuje nam śniadanko,

Pyszny obiad ugotuje

My Dear Mother

My mother is one of the dearest.

She always has time for her children.

Every morning she bustles

and she wakes us to get ready to school.

Later she buys bread in the shop

And then spread butter on the slice of bread.

She prepares us breakfast

and she cooks tasty dinner.

Delicious Chocolate Cake For the Dearest Mother

We hope that very mum enjoys the cake :)

What you need:
3 cups all purpose flour
1 1/2 tsp salt
3/4 tsp baking powder

1 1/2 tsp baking soda
2 2/3 cups sugar
1 cup + 2 Tb cocoa
1 cup + 2 Tb water
1 cup + 2 Tb canola oil
5 large eggs
3/4 cup water
1 1/2 tsp vanilla

Frosting
1 box powdered sugar
3.4 cup unsweetened cocoa
1 tsp or so liquid flavoring, vanilla, rum, or cognac
1 1/2 cupbutter, firm, not cold

Oven Temp ~ 350°
Baking Time ~ 25-35 Min.

Method:
In a large bowl, sift or whisk together flour, salt, baking powder, baking soda, sugar, and cocoa. Add 1 cup and 2 tablespoons of water and 1 cup and 2 tablespoons of canola oil. Mix for 1 minute.Add eggs, 3/4 cup of water, vanilla. Mix 5-6 minutes with a whisk, 3-4 minutes with a hand mixer.Pour into pans, bake, test by placing and removing a toothpick through the center at 25 minutes. When toothpick comes out clean, loosen from pans and then put back in the pans. Let cakes cool for 15 minutes. Keep in the pans, wrap in foil, and put in the freezer for at least 2 hours.

Frosting:Put powdered sugar and 3/4 cup cocoa into a blender, mix until blended. Drizzle in, until about the consistency of firm butter, several tablespoons of flavoring liquid. When the flavor and consistency is right, add 1 1/2 cup of butter (firm, not cold and not too soft). A good rule of thumb is that both the butter and the sugar mixture should be slightly firmer than you would want it to be to spread it, since the mixing action of the blender will warm it slightly. Mix until blended.

Remove the cakes from the freezer and from their pans. Stack, frosting each layer as you go. Let sit for an hour before serving.
