Mother's Day Lunch

[MissWooWoo]

off to my mum's on sunday with the promise of bringing a cold lunch ... usually take a roast chicken with potato salad, salad and nice bread. Bored of that, what else can I do? would even contemplate hot lunch if it was easy (no curry or chilli for her though).

Any ideas?

Cold poached salmon?

good idea - she likes salmon. The last time I tried to poach salmon I made a right pig's ear of it ... is there a foolproof way to get it right? I did mine in milk and there was, well, "scum" all over it

There is a thread further down about it. I saw it earlier in the week. I don't know if I would try the dishwasher method though, at least not on such an important occasion as Mothers Day!
