Last summer brunch

The pictures are from brunch last Sunday, at which we had 14 people (there were supposed to be 20, but there were a few no-shows). On the way home, I realized that I was going to go right past Al & Emma’s new apartment, so they got potatoes & a few wedges of crepe cake. John & Megan took fruit and gateau and bean salad and babka back to Milwaukee with them, so all that was left was one wedge for me to have for dinner Monday, and I’m having the last of the beans and babka for my lunch today.

Sunday was sort of a long time ago; I’m thinking about it again because we went to a benefit dinner last night, that was Ovens of Brittany themed. The main course was basically the same as the crepe gateu – crepes with same ratatouille filling, just without the ricotta – and folded instead of stacked. I had probably half a glass too much wine, and my stomach is fighting back hard this morning. Having trouble staying at my computer, and out of the bathroom. Sigh. Or else it’s a stomach flu – today on our walk, Rach said there’s some bug making the rounds. Or else my guts are sympathizing with my friend Pete, who was doing his colonoscopy clean-out on Wednesday, and, because he’s a cartoonist, posting his art to facebook in between cups of the nasty juice.
