Mother's Day Ivory Carving You Can Eat

Mother's day is commemorated on different days in many parts of the world. Here we celebrate Mother's day on the 8th of May. A special day to honor mothers and motherhood. We get together and treat our moms to a special dinner and also give nice greeting cards and little gifts of appreciation. It has become a tradition we observe every year we don't want to miss.  I went to downtown San Francisco where my mom lives to look for things I could buy for her. I saw so many things but did not find anything my mom would really like. I went to  Chinatown on Grant Avenue and got an idea to make instead. Something my mom and all the mothers at the party could enjoy without harming beautiful creatures in the wild. Something I could afford and organic to carve in my kitchen. It's a white chocolate carving of an ivory tusk with a garden motif for all of you to enjoy!
