My mom's doctor and I are good friends, she is coming in the middle of September to spend the weekend for the Shrimp and Petroliuem Festival. We celebrate this every year in Morgan City Louisiana; we have the blessings of the fleet with the king and queen. there are live bands in the park, food booths, arts and crafts, a gospel tent, and a fair. We have a really good time during this ocaisson, I don't know what to fix for her while she is here. I really want to impress her, she is waiting on me to get my nursing liscence so I can work for her. I want her to have a good time; they will have alot of shrimp, and I know she will be eating at the fair, but I want to have lots of food at home. At the fair they have really good hurricanes, and I want to do some at home too.

Although I want to congratulate you on pursuing your nursing career and licenses, I am concerned about the complex and dual relationships you are having with your mother's doctor and your plans to work with her. These can get pretty complicated and can have serious consequences in the long run, so please re-think your relationships! I'd recommend taking a look at your Law and Ethics books and find out what your licensing board thinks of fuzzy boundaries and dual relationships.......however.....Since your plans are made, however, here are some ideas:

1. Make your guest room a nice retreat by including a basket of goodies that might include some chocolate, personal items such as soap, lotion, shampoo, etc.
2. Mornings should be simple and easy. Perhaps some ready made breakfast pastries, coffee and tea, and some fresh fruit. Perhaps one morning you can make canadian bacon and eggs and have a leisurely breakfast.
3. Appetizers can consist of cheese and crackers, cured meats, olives, and goat cheese and so on.

if she is going to be eating festival food then at your home - I would not try to compete - but provide simple, fresh homey foods

fresh fruit and muffins or whatever the local favorite pastry is for breakfast - aren't you LA people known for great coffee too?

light salads and simple grilled meats and veggies for lunches or dinners - go to the farmers market and get what is fresh and local

Have a great soup, stew or casserole you make? Stick to things you know you do well.

Guests can get overwhelmed with heavy foods when eating out and are very appreciative of lighter fare when they are at home base - think about the types of foods bed and breakfasts serve
