It’s a conundrum, my loves. Short weeks just seem longer. Why is that?
I’m getting by dreaming of this blueberry cornmeal cake from Huckleberry Cafe. Won’t it make the perfect end-of-summer dessert for Saturday’s brunch service?
For Sunday, maybe a classic rice pudding. We’ll tweet pictures this weekend.
What’s getting you through hump day?

I’m planning a wedding shower in a few weeks for a bride that loves Bloody Mary’s. The other hostesses and I want this Bloody Mary Bar to be unforgettable. This is what we did last year for Anjali’s shower…
Starting with a great Tomato Mix is very important, I want to try this recipe for Roasted Tomato Juice from my fav chef Suzanne Goin (The Hungry Cat Bloody Mary.)
Once you have your base of Vodka and Tomato Mix then you need an array of garnishes. Lemon, limes, hot sauces, crunchy celery and a mix of artisan pickled vegetables.
Guests mix their own custom cocktails to get the shower started on the right note. Any other tips or ideas to spice up our Bloody Mary Bar? (pun intended)
xo,
Lydia
Happy New Year!
When I threw back the covers yesterday morning, I had two things on my mind: breakfast and my New Year’s resolution.

We’ve talked a lot about breakfast, you and me. We’ve shared apple pancakes and Lydia’s gorgeous panettone french toast, puffed pancakes, puffers, morning muffins and plenty of eggs: soft-boiled eggs, eggs in purgatory and fried eggs. It’s safe to say we enjoy our -uffs and our eggs. (Oeufs!)

We’ve even shared oat bran. And that little ‘ol nutella panino you all liked so much.

Why all the breakfast talk? It’s my way of getting the ball rolling. I’m anticipating many a client breakfast this coming year and would love your thoughts on the matter.

So do share. What’s your absolute favorite breakfast/brunch indulgence?

And that New Year’s resolution? To focus more on the task at hand. Breakfast seems a good place to start.
We’ve missed you,

Because Lydia and I have been working weekends, Angus and I had our weekend brunch yesterday.

Warm scones spread with fresh ricotta and apricot jam. A drizzle of honey does no harm.
