We're doing this as a test drive for Christmas Brunch this year.
Robert called last week to tell me that he really couldn't afford to come up for Christmas and hey if we were sending gifts $$$$ would be greatly appreciated.
Fortunately we have that type of relationship that we can say "hey if you're sending presents send money instead" and I understand the practicality of the request.
Meanwhile, since it's 'adults only' on Christmas I thought brunch - a high scale CHAMPAGNE brunch and who better to make it than I? This is a scaled down version (test drove today to a rousing sucess) of the menu:
Eggs Chesapeake (eggs benedict with crab cakes instead of canadian bacon)
Fresh Fruit
Cheese (in this case 12 month aged cheddar imported from Ireland - quite mellow)
Poinsettas (champagne and cranberry juice) or Mimosas (champagne and orange juice)
Fresh bacon (for Mom who won't eat crab cakes - yes Julie I can do this for you as well ;) )
Isn't it nice when you can celebrate absolutely nothing but the joy of celebration itself?
As Grandma used to say "Celebrate EVERYTHING !"
Pour you a mimosa?
