No morning cocktail for me!!!!! Hair is dry and Croft is AF! Would love to say that I overcame the big bad craving, but no craving came this morning. Maybe acknowledging it and embarassing it on MWO was enough to chase it away.
The graduation brunch is Sunday. My quiches are happily awaiting their debut in the freezer along side the muffins. My friend and her daughter are tying ribbons around the napkins and plasticware. I placed all the little bottoms on the plastic champagne glasses last night. My bathrooms are clean. I have a few more errands to run and some more food prep to do, but feeling in control. So far almost 45 people have RSVP'd, exactly as planned!
And I am excited. I love to cook. When I started this process to control my drinking for some reason everything in my life came to a screaching halt including my cooking. I had to work hard to maintain my normal activities. With the graduation party, I have an oppurtunity to bring my love for cooking back into my life. When we decided on a brunch I was a little discouraged as I have always found breakfast to be boring. But a mid-day event seemed like a better time of day to manage the mix of adult and teenagers than evening. Trying to avoid the drunk celebrating teenagers a much as possible. I am excited about the below menu!!!!
Potato Crusted Quiche with Smoked Cheddar and Candian Bacon
Quiche of Chorizo with Red Pepper, Onion, Green Chili and Cheese in a Corn Bread Crust
Whole Wheat Crusted Quiche of Spinach with Carrots, Celery and Guyuere
Happy Trails Muffins
Fruit Salad
Spiraled Ham
Pumpkin Pancakes served with Maple Syrup and Whipped Cream
Lemon Poppyseed Pancakes served with Raspberry Sauce
Carmelized Apple French Toast Served with Light Carmel Sauce and Toasted Walnuts
Potato Pancakes served with Sour Cream and Apple Sauce
