Sunday Brunch (2/28)


Wow. Has it really been over two months since I posted one of these? I couldn't believe my eyes as I rolled through the blog archives, but here we are, months later, resurrecting the posting of sample brunch menus. So be it.

Though I do have to admit, it's a little embarrassing. Especially given the fact that we're convinced our kitchen has been pumping out some of its best food to date. What in the world has possessed me for so long, leaving me awfully neglectful of you and denying you from reading the deliciousness that defines Sunday Brunch at the LRBC (I mean besides the fact that lately our heads have been spinning off their axises)?

Silly me. Sorry, Folks. Let's hope this doesn't happen again (for both our sakes).

and it would be terribly rude of me to not pause for a minute here and give a shout out to my one and only sister, whose birthday happens to be this very day. So let's give it up to all the Pisces out there.

two of my most favoritest people in the world
Dearest Sister,
I hope it goes without saying that you are the one and only *one.* Thanks for making my life so much brighter, and for being 4.5 years wiser. XO to infinity and beyond.
