I made <a href=\"http:\/\/schoolwoods.com\/brunchmenu2010.html#may23\">brunch<\/a> for a big crowd &#8211; 21 full size humans plus 8 or 9 little kids ranging in age from about 2 weeks to 10 years. It was one of my picture-less ones, but a nice menu:<\/p>\n<p>Jazzed up potatoes &#8211; Mexican fried potatoes &#8211; from <a href=\"http:\/\/www.worldcat.org\/title\/still-life-with-menu-cookbook-over-200-delicious-vegetarian-recipes-with-original-art\/oclc\/32322955\">Mollie Katzen<\/a>, with onions, garlic, cumin &amp; red pepper flakes, tomatoes, cilantro, black olives, and fried torn up corn tortillas, topped with a squish of lime juice &amp; melted cheese; shirred eggs, baked with a splash of cream and chives and parmesan; custard-filled corn bread, and a really <a href=\"http:\/\/glutenfreegoddess.blogspot.com\/2007\/12\/skillet-cornbread-with-green-chiles.html\">tasty gluten free version<\/a> with cinnamon and green chile. I also made a big spinach salad with a red dressing, and water chestnuts, mushrooms, and sunflower seeds &#8211; with and without bacon. For dessert, fruit crumbles: rhubarb-strawberry, gluten free, with almonds &amp; pine nuts for extra crunch, and cranberry-raspberry with regular flour streusel. Since it&#8217;s brunch, and early in the day, I put out Greek yogurt with honey for topping instead of whipped cream or ice cream.<\/p>\n<p>I got home a little before 3:00, and completely forgot that I was planning on mowing the lawn. I took a bike ride to return a library book, and I&#8217;ve settled in on the couch with all the Sunday papers and cable TV shows, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.hbo.com\/true-blood\/index.html\">vampires<\/a> and Treme and Tudors.<\/p>\n<p>I had the last of the spinach salad for dinner, with some of the leftover egg sliced up on top and a piece of the skillet corn bread, toasted. All the custard-filled got eaten at the brunch.<\/p>\n<p>I feel a little guilty about not mowing but it&#8217;s not too bad. I just might have to eat the last of the cranberry-raspberry crumble, specially because I can have it with ice cream since it&#8217;s evening now.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We had our first 90-degree day of the summer today.
