Even in the absence of a Sunday morning hangover,
 major cravings for a bagel with lox, red onion rings, capers and of course Philadelphia cream cheese nest firmly in the "morning eat" hemisphere of my food-dominated brain.
In January, Desperate Anglo Housewives had one of her major brunch rants ( check out Hangover Brunch Cure post). For me, one of America's greatest tributes to food has been brunch. As an exchange student in the mid-west in the late 80's, I used to live from weekend to weekend. The first Lox and cream cheese bagel is something forever stamped into my epicurian memory box.
In France, its not that easy to find all those brunch ingredients...in particular the orgasmic thigh-enhancing Philadelphia cream cheese and the peanut butter cups to follow...and where can I buy Crisco for my own mother's 1950's souvenir of her stay in NYC, Pecan and Choc Chip Cookies...?
