Wash ,'War Stories'
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
Like that. An upscale, dawdling, fancy breakfast as social event with friends.
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.
This is the penalty for sleeping all the way through last night, isn't it?
Juliebird, is the brunch for friends or at work?
At work. Now I'm all nervous (and hungry!)
The brunch I hosted on Easter had quiche (some with sausage, some veg), ham, asparagus and avocado salad, cinnamon rolls, mimosas, coffee, and Easter candy. Also, some people brought various nummy bread items and cheese and crackers.
It seemed to work out pretty well.
The last time I hosted a brunch was New Year's Day 2009. I served baked eggs in little ham cups. They were adorable. (And there was a big basket of mini-bagels w/ cream cheese, lox, onions, capers, tomato for the anti-egg. And lots and lots of coffee and mimosas.)
Ugh. Couldn't sleep. Feel oogey. Called in sick, now feel crappy about that, too. Which is ridic.
I was wishing to call in sleepy and/or annoyed by the weather, but now I am glad I didn't. The boss is out and so it will be a quiet day where I should be able to crank through some work while also getting through the internets.
I was tempted to call in "Sick, unless there's a problem with the server upgrade we did for our client on Saturday, in which case I'll come in," but that was just too complicated.
I forgot to turn on my alarm clock, so slept an extra 1.5 hours. Oops. I did consider just calling out, but sucked it up.
