what a truly special day! a bit confusing yes, a sunday supper on a saturday, and brunch for dinner. but as it was my birthday i felt entitled to mix it up!
it was an incredibly hot and humid summer day - fortunately i made some tasty tangerine-mezcal margaritas to cool us all down, and had some other beverages waiting on the side...
i readied my apartment (complete with bday flowers from some building buddies) and myself and before i knew it we had a most incredible spread of my favorite foods:
brunch menu - round 1
kate's frittata
rachel's scrambled eggs & maple-pecan little loaves
eve & greg's smoked salmon, mini bagels, cream cheese & capers
jamie and matt's vegan donuts and cinnamon buns
jade's fruity and nutty granolas
todd's fresh fruit salad
ruben's watermelon
john & friend's proseco
rachel's tangerine margaritas
ethan & caitlin's champagne
april's sparkling rosados
after popping a bottle of bubbly and a quick toast - we all dug in to this incredible feast!
but it wasn't long before plates were cleaned off!!! good thing we had more... and good thing more guests arrived - with more and more food!!
yes that's right, that's exactly what it looks like. my dear christina came with a basket in hand complete with a portable waffle-making station - sweet as sweet can be :)

christina's waffles, with whipped cream and berry compote
ali & friend's bread, cheeses, bresaola and fig spread
