Hey, I have the latest Clancy, over 1000 pgs........This place is like a Denny’s. Breakfast 24 hours a day.
I’d like the Biscuits and country gravy, two sausage links, 3 strips of bacon, hash browns smothered in green chili, coffee, orange juice and an toasted English muffin. I’ll finish up with a nitro tablet and if you would call an ambulance, it would be much appreciated.
thank you cygnus, I shall keep it on the mantelpiece ready for emergency parties! Do you want to cater for my 500th? I agree entirely about the calamari (but only if porperly cooked! It just melts then) & the oysters - it’s like swallowing cold, salty snot! urk (sorry for the image folks!), so we’re a match made in the ocean! What about mussels in white wine & garlic sauce?
Vix - I hope you’re sorry - I had to go & buy bacon on the way home last night & have two pieces at work today!
lurkernomore, one of my favorite brunch books was “Titanic: An Illustrated History”, because not only was it long enough to last beyond what anyone could possibly consume in one Sunday brunch, even allowing for occasional breaks, but it was also oversized (brunch being a meal where you get to take over the whole table) and had lots of pictures and diagrams that invited detailed and leisurely purusal. (note to self, place reserve at library)
fierra, I’m in on the mussels, and prepared as you describe sounds particularly good. I only brought shrimp and crab to the brunch, but if we can get somebody to make a run to the store for ingredients, we can add some mussels to the next refill of the brunch table. For that matter, maybe we can whip up some shrimp scampi; I haven’t had that in ages. BTW, I concur completely with your description of oysters, although I’d add a sprinkling of sand to the texture as well. And by all means, put me on the planning list for your 500th. (scribbles another messy note to self on napkin)
After eight mimosas I’m just about fizzed out; I believe its time to switch to screwdrivers. Surely someone slipped a bottle of vodka in behind one of the serving tables? [rummaging around]
Oooh, and look, here comes a fresh tray of bacon…mmmmm!!!
[gets another clean plate and extra napkins]
