Desperate Anglo Housewives : Bordeaux > she's back and dating in her 50s

Bagels, Capers, Red onions,  Salmon  and divinely, hip-devastating Philadelphia Cream Cheese. Plus Bloody Marys made by a New York hand. This is not the first time I have blogged my utter delight over Brunch. Today I once again salute my american friends for their brunching brilliance. Not only did it cure me of a nagging hangover but also chased away the Sunday blues. I strongly recommend it!! What really got me today were the tubs of Philadelphia Cream Cheese....this is rare treasure in France. If you are a "professional" it is available in 2kg sin-tubs from Metro.

"What could be more practical for Mother than a lovely house coat or brunch coat that she'll wear with pride for months and months to come. Not only are these creations lovely to look at, but Mother will appreciate their easy care too. Never need ironing. You'll find dainty nose gay print on white backgrounds. Long coat in sizes 40 - 46: Brunch coat in sizes 12 - 20 and 40 - 46."   1955 Vogue I love brunch. Its so NOT French! Easy, low key and relaxed, its one of those Anglo/American traditions that all ex-pats should keep alive. Yesterday we headed out to the country for a friend's "Brunch In." Greeted with the smell of cooking bacon and a glass of Mimosa who could help but smile. We lounged over plates spilling over with bacon, Irish breakfast sausages, buttery scrambled eggs with cheese and herbs, fried potato bread, grits (?? foreign for the antipodean), toasted bagels. More and more Mimosa..that's ok its full of vitamin C with all ...
