American Breakfast Sundays

Since the first American Brunch Sunday with CMEs who craved old fashioned American-style sweet breakfast food, we've started a brunch revolution.

I mean ... gotta make good use of this huge set/room I've got for this year and this year only :)

Therefore, brunch parties every weekend. Solid.
It's always potluck-style with ingredients - Alexa's getting bread, Jade's bringing juice, Chris has got eggs, etc.
and works amazingly well. Each time we end up having a bit of variation, although you can't really go wrong as long as you have bread, eggs, and some sort of fruit. Oh, powdered sugar and syrup is a must - until Alex and Anna introduced nutella and whipped cream into the equation. Now I've got an accumulating stock of King's cafeteria silverware/glasses, plus two jars of maple syrup, a box of powdered sugar, and three containers of nutella in my cupboard. Looks like brunch will be happening every weekend from now on ...

American Breakfast

10/24/2009

For breakfast, every college dining hall, restaurant, and cafe/shop in Cambridge serves:
- Sausages (big, chunky ones)
- Toasted bread
- Baked beans
- Poached or scrambled eggs
- Tomatoes
- Mushrooms


[Standard English breakfast]

I got talkin' to an Englishman about what American breakfast entails, and harped on the fact everything in an English breakfast is salty and/or neutral-flavored. Nothing sweet. No fruit, no pancakes, no french toast. No bacon. So ... on a whim, I emailed out and got a bunch of people together for American Brunch Saturday.

[French toast and American bacon that Colin somehow acquired]


[French toast with syrup, powdered sugar, fruit ...]


[Breakfast underway]


[Buffet-style breakfast]


[Good ol' fashioned American french toast.]


[Colin, Carrie, Alex, Isaac, Arjun, Phil, and Caroline]


With the help of everyone bringing ingredients potluck-style, we got a huge breakfast and lots of satisfied appetites. Sweet success! Literally.
