Fall Brunch!

This was, by far, the hottest fall brunch in dawrighthouse history. Denver has had a couple of cool and crisp days, but not today. It was in the high 80's. Let's just say the mimosas were a cool and refreshing main part of the menu, rather than a high brow side note. Because of the cool and refreshing part.

This morning I alternated cups of coffee and chapters of Huck Finn in between brunch prep. I made the pumpkin bread and the candy corn goodies last night, so all I really had to do before the main event was chop a bunch of fruits and veggies. To balance out the cheese and sour cream and potatoes and lard that made up the rest of the food. :)

The guests of honor.

It's a wee bit intimidating to cook for someone whose nickname - on the blog and in real life - is Chef Campo. The key is to keep the mimosas coming. Long before the actual food.

Menu:

Home made biscuits and gravy

Veggie Frittata

Bacon

Cheesy Hash brown casserole

Fresh fruit cups 

Good friends

Good times

It was such a busy weekend that I didn't even get around to a nap until today. We were going to see The Martian in theater after the brunch, but, when compared with a cozy afternoon "reading" Huck Finn, there was no way that was actually going to happen.

Now it's Sunday night and I have about 100 tests to grade for my "vacation money job." I try not to focus on the grading part. I try to think only about the vacation part.

For those of you lucky dogs who get Columbus Day off, enjoy it! I'll pay you $1,000 to teach my class for me.
