I did major Tivo catch up today. 3 Bones', ANTM, TAR, and 2 Ellens. I have such a girl crush on Mary McCormack after seeing her on Ellen, OMG so funny and hilarious.
Now you can luxuriate in a nice jail cell, but if your hand touches metal, I swear by my pretty flowered bonnet, I will end you.

I saw her on Broadway in Boeing Boeing with Bradley Whitford. OMG. So funny. And sexy.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
searching desperately for the token non-egg thing on the menu/buffet.
Word. A properly prepared quiche can do it, but I pretty much have to have prepared it. The rest are verboten. Mimosas all round!

You have to remember that being a 5-time Olympic medalist means Hilary Knight has been playing hockey at an elite level at least 16 years. It's impossible for her to be a teenage girl less than 16 years old, thus the President's complete lack of interest.
Brunch buffets are about the only places I get eggs out (omelette stations are a godsend), but I also tend to hit the roasted vegetables,bacon, and strawberries pretty heavily.

For brunch, I require coffee, potatoes, and bacon. Everything else is negotiable.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
I don't really think of brunch as a buffet thing.
My strong associations with brunch are in NYC or SF. And they usually involve mimosas and cappucino, and either some kind of exotic french toast (cinnamon challah) or pancake (ginger say, with roasted pears), or Hollandaise sauce on a poached egg on an English muffin (with maybe lox, capers and onion, or bacon and Provencale tomatoes), or a fancy omelet (brie and asparagus, or crabmeat) or a fancy scramble (fresh spinach and feta).
Like that. An upscale, dawdling, fancy breakfast as social event with friends.

Except in Vegas, and then it totally is. Sometimes even with gospel music.

I guess, but my best brunch in Vegas was a super fancy scrumptious sit down meal at Commander's Palace. Mmmm, Eggs Sardou and Bananas Foster Souffle.

Nope. Does not compute. I mean, I've had those brunches (in SF and here in Seattle), but that's not what I think when I think Brunch.
Brunch is madhouse of coffee, pancakes, bacon, constant kitchen motion, and whatever else seems like a good idea at the time. (Brunch, in my head, is also not a going-out thing. It's a host-in-house thing.)

Yeah, it's definitely a going-out thing for me. Though I've certainly had the in-house madhouse you described and enjoyed it.
When's the last time you hosted a brunch, Ple? That's not an pointed question, just wondering if it happens regularly since you've become a parent.
