Weekend Round-Up: Brunch

I woke up on Saturday miraculously cured! Immune system FTW! Oatmeal and grapefruit for breakfast with Rob before he headed to work for a few hours. I spent the morning prepping for the holiday party. I put lights on the tree, ironed tablecloths, chopped bread and cleaned house.

At 2:30, it was time to drive across town to help Seth, Amy and baby move in to their new apartment. We unloaded the rental truck and I drove back across town with Seth to return it. Takeout Indian dinner at their place before heading home to prepare the rest of the food. I cooked greens, boiled potatoes, baked bacon and seeded pomegranates. Hard time sleeping due to excitement!

Sunday morning, up briefly at 6 to throw the ham in the oven. A couple hours later, Rob and I downed coffee and decorated the Christmas tree. Some mixing, some dish-washing, mostly just throwing pans in the oven before the guests started to arrive at 10:30.

Great party! The 18lb ham we got at Roberts was amazing! We knocked off all but a couple pounds. All the food was crazy good. I’ll post recipes this week.
