I think it's bad to turn AC's off-off, instead of up high. They work too hard or some such thing. Signed: Unwilling AC expert.

Is it ok to only have breakfast things at a brunch at 1 on a Sunday, or do I have to offer a lunch type item like a ham or sandwich fixings?

Our wings are not tired.
We don't turn the A/C off, just set it higher. Then again, my plants and pets would not survive any other way. When we leave for the summer it gets set to 80 something. Otherwise we would have mold growing everywhere.

I think as long as you have substantial-like breakfast things, with protein and such, you're fine.
Unless you have annoying people.
But if you've invited annoying people, they'll be annoying no matter what you serve.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
I'm voting for leaving the AC on and the thermostat set high. It takes too long for it to cool down and dehumidify, otherwise. By the time it's comfortable enough to sleep, it's time to get up.

Hah! No, not annoying people. Just in-laws who I don't want to mess up in front of. I think that fritattas and strata and things like bacon and sausage should give plenty of protein options.

I can't remember what I did before I had buffistas to answer all my questions.
sj, I concur completely! For some reason, lying in bed this morning, I wondered, do all egg-layers have cloacas? Or is it only birds, esp. chickens? Must ask Buffistas.
Then I fell back asleep again. I don't know why I was thinking about cloacas.

TCG's stepmother is going to bring fruit, and I was thinking bagels, something like a pumpkin bread or a banana bread, and little espresso brownies. If we get really ambitious we may try to make waffles in our new waffle iron that we got as an engagement gift. I need to figure out something for my mother to bring. I think she'll be coming from the beach, so maybe something that can survive a long drive.

Maybe it's just me, but I think that sounds like a really bad idea. Try that out at a brunch with friends where the potential for disaster won't be stressing you out. Then give it a run with the in-laws.
