We had a delightful Brunch event on Sunday at Adam's apartment. Erin made a delicious mushroom, bacon and Brussels sprout quiche, Brent made killer Bloody Mary's and I made French Toast Asiago and Bacon Grilled Cheese.
Heather, Adam and his four guests brought sparkling wine and OJ for mimosa's. One of his friends bought a bottle of Almond Flavored Sparkling Wine. It was regarded with terror and grotesque curiosity until later in the day when we had enough liquid courage to taste it! It was actually worse than it sounds! Imagine a cheap bottle of sparkling wine spiked with artificial flavor, ugh! We spent some time trying to identify the flavors that were unintentionally captured by this monstrosity. I think blow-pops and dissolved pop-rocks in wine were the two front runners!
Due to the limited food selection, and inspired by talk of dishes past, we decided to make a quick trip to the market. Adam made toasted crostini with fresh tomato, fresh salted mozzarella and a drizzle of aged balsamic. I made my blue cheese, bacon wrapped figs; though we had to substitute dried figs for fresh, which was not quite as good. As a finale, Erin and I whipped-up some quick chocolate chip cookie and cheesecake bars.
True to EWI form, it was a relaxing afternoon of gluttony and light intoxication!
