Brunch for 20, people who work at, or used to work at, Madison’s Community Pharmacy<\/a>. The brunch was a retirement party for one of them, who is working on a history of the pharmacy – so the stories I got to overhear were great. Recollections of old blue laws from the 1970s in WI, when condoms could not be displayed, and how the pharmacy started as a workers collective, selling vat-size containers of commercial shampoo and conditioner and toothpaste and toilet paper by the case to the housing co-ops in town, in contrast to the all natural products they sell today. I love going there and buying fancy chocolate and organic hand lotion in the same place.<\/p>\n

They ate:<\/p>\n

Spinach cr\u00eape gateau – the recipe also from another early Madison institution, the Ovens of Brittany<\/p>\n

Roasted potatoes with rosemary & garlic – all kinds of potatoes, white, gold, red Finn, purple, fingerling, sweet – from the indoor farmers’ market<\/p>\n

Tossed salad with reduced cider vinaigrette<\/p>\n

Cinnamon chip scones and Door County cherry muffins – the muffins had 3 cups of cherries, 2 cups of sugar and a cup of butter for two dozen muffins – not counting the additional couple of TBLS pf butter for the crunchy topping. Buttery goodness – yum.
