Birthday Brunch

Jumping from one holiday to another – today is Hillary’s birthday! She and her friend Justine, who is also celebrating her birthday this week, had a big bash this weekend. I couldn’t make it to the wine tasting fun yesterday (

Sad smile this !
) but Matt and I were happy to join them for brunch at Beer Run this morning!

Mint tea to drink. For some reason I’m feeling a little hungover today. I obviously didn’t drink anything last night – except jalapenos! Maybe I just wore myself out this weekend, or drank too much coffee this morning and it’s churning my stomach…? I’m trying to chug water in case I’m just dehydrated.

IMG_8715

Matt and I weren’t too hungry since we’d had a later breakfast, so we shared the quiche du jour, which was wonderful!

Plus a side of pesto-spiked grits!

IMG_8716

Justine ordered the french toast, but didn’t love it so it got traded around the table. I had several bites for dessert – perfect ending! Sadly it looks more like pulled pork here than a baked french toast, but it sure tasted good!

We are forever indebted to Hillary for introducing us to LOST, so Matt made her this card, which had me laughing out loud.

After the photo, I signed it “ – Matt, Kath and the Osthers”

It is the most gorgeous Easter Sunday you could ever imagine!! I just finished up some housework and am planting myself on the porch for a wee bit of writing while Matt works a few feet away on some real planting – herbs! We’re planning a short hike later!

    The salad looks good and refreshing. I had my first sweet since Lent began. A Cherry Bomb pop. It was so nasty. Tasted like medicine. Does that mean my taste buds changed or something? It was like yuck.

    I haven’t watched much of Lost, but I know that others adore it so much! Mainly, I think that I haven’t watched it BECAUSE of my fear of becoming addicted. If that makes any sense…

    Pesto-spiked grits? Um. Extremely intruiged and drooling over the thought of pesto + grits. Must re-create!

    Love your pix! Just a reminder from a fellow herb gardener, basil is fickle and may not like the cold mountain evenings yet…unless he’s planting seeds then I say, dig away! Happy Easter to the whole fam :-))

    This is my second attempt to comment, not sure what happened to #1. Too funny of a card! Have you seen the tee shirts that are a Dairy Queen symbol but say Drama Queen? I think it would be hilarious if same tee shirt said “Dharma Queen” for the those of us who have devoted hours of our lives to watching Lost :). Me included!

        Well I know what “the Others” are but I’ve seen every episode of Lost and never heard of “the Osthers”.

          It’s how Jin pronounces “others” when he runs out of the jungle with his hands tied up
