Crooner's Lounge and Supper Club Part 2

From Dale's blog:

"So yesterday I posted about being exhausted from work, but having to rally and drive allllll the way across town to meet some friends for dinner when what I really wanted to do was sit on the couch and veg all evening.

Well.  It turned out to be one of the most delightful evenings we have spent in some time.  We really do like these friends a lot, so I knew it would be a good evening.  But this was a GOOD evening.  We sat around telling stories on ourselves for 3.5 hours, complete with gales of laughter to the point of crying.  We ended up serenading each other with songs from movies – everything from “Summer Lovin’” from Grease to “Otto Titsling” from Beaches.  I’m not sure how much the other diners there enjoyed us, but we really enjoyed us!"

Holiday Brunch 2011/2012 Season

Today was Epiphany Sunday. This past Thursday was the actual day of Ephipany so the Christmas season has pretty wound down. We had meant to have this year's brunch much closer to Christmas but schedule-wise today is what worked best. Our guests included some folks from church. Cyndi and her partner Maggie, Andrew and his partner Muricio, along with Reverend Aron. Dale made an egg bake from a new recipe, hash browns and sausages. I made a maple pecan bundt cake from a Nigella Lawson recipe. We also served fruit (pineapple, mango, strawberries). For appetizers we served brie and fig jelly on crackers. To drink we offered a lot of options but everyone chose mimosas. It was all very delicious and the company was fantastic. I'm finding more and more that I like hosting Sunday brunch. It's such a nice way to wind down the weekend.
