Frühstück

Morning!

After a good night’s sleep, I woke up to rummage through Larbs’s pantry for something to eat. I found 365 brand frosted Cheerios, banana and milk that made a delicious small breakfast to tide me to brunch.

IMG_4379IMG_4378

The four of us then went on an hour walk around Duke’s East Campus

And a glimpse at the old Durham Bulls park! Note that this was the location where I first sipped a beer (my dad’s Rolling Rock) and said “mmmm this tastes kinda good!”

tmp_share (2)

After showers, we ventured out to brunch to meet mom and dad at Guglhuph Bakery

IMG_4382

IMG_4386

Awesome décor!

IMG_4387

My mom’s side is actually part German and my dad’s is Hungarian, so I feel a bit connected to German food (and beer!)

IMG_4388

Totally Norwegian:

IMG_4385

We enjoyed a round of coffees

IMG_4383

IMG_4389

We feasted on omelets, eggs benedict, sandwiches, meat plates (!?) and pancakes. Probably the most American breakfast one could imagine…but there weren’t any sausage links or foamy beers on the brunch menu!

I had scrambled eggs (From Latta Farms – my preschool teacher’s family farm!) with fruit and a roll

IMG_4395

And a side of pancake (a last minute impulse order that I intended to share but ate most of myself! The maple syrup was some of the best I’ve ever had!)

IMG_4393

We visited the bakery section afterwards. A loaf of bread is probably the last thing we need, but Matt bought one to try out. I’m excited to try it tonight!

    I LOVE Guglhuph!! I never made it there for brunch (how SAD), but dinner there was delicious. Don’t you just love the lights in there? Also, the East Campus rocks. I had some awesome runs there, though the WaDuke Trail was my fav.

    I’m finally able to access your blog.

    I’ve never been to any campus on the East Coast except for Harvard when I visited Boston. I enjoy looking at pictures.

    When I first say the pic, I was like “who is L?”…..then I read the text and realized you are traveling

    Some of the best maple syrup ever? Now that’s high praise!

    Glad you had the time with your family and I’m loving that chandelier. It looks like the West Elm ones that are capiz shells that I love. I have a capiz shell lamp but I’d love to have a chandelier just dangling like that…but probably not real practical for my small urban pad. But it’s gorgeous!

    I’m German. But my Mom is Hungarian, though she was born here (Germany). My grandparents fled from the communism in the 50s.

    Germans are quite particular about their bread. Most Germans will say that you can’t find decent bread outside of Germany. Though your Great Harvest bread looks pretty decent 😉

    Cheers to German bread and beer 🙂

    And if you ever will come to Germany, I’d be glad to show around.

    Oh man, what a good-looking breakfast- although I’d probably make something like that for dinner (or try to find a restaurant that isn’t Denny’s or Ihop that would serve it for dinner!)
    Enjoy the visit with your family!

    I love breakfasts in cups; I’m not sure really why, but it gets me every time.
    Pure maple syrup (the good kind) is utterly gorgeous. But it’s so incredibly expensive I haven’t bought a new one for seven years …. I just stare at the old one, so far past it’s use by date, and can’t bring myself to get another bottle. The food looks delicious, too; it looks so bright and clean.
    I once saw a chandelier made from springs; it was an incredible idea.

    Hey Kath,

    I’d love your opinion…I’ve been buying Trader Joe’s peanut butter and its very runny. So, I have been emptying the excess oil on top and then storing it in the fridge. The peanut butter becomes much more firm but do you think its a bad idea to empty some of the oil (it is healthy fat after all, but then again I only empty about a tablespoon or so of oil).

    Thank you so much! Hope you are enjoying your day with the family 🙂

    I was actually visiting the Durham area for the first time this weekend too – so cute. We went to this little restaurant/bakery/shop called Parker & Otis – you should check it out next time you’re there! The food was super good and all local and they had a lot of craft brews too. My fave was the curried chicken salad!

    Here’s a stupid question- how did you create the Umlauts (the u with the two dots on top)? I was a German major decades ago and even lived in Germany for a year, and for the life of me, I’ve never figured out how to create the Umlauts on English keyboards… I’m not the least bit technical!!!
