First Day of Spring
It’s hard to believe, but yesterday was actually the first day of spring. It is said to be the one day a year when you can balance an egg on its end. So, during the buzzing brunch with so many eggs around we just couldn’t help ourselves. And look - we did it!

St.Paddy's Day Cooking
the Irish flag as seen through food
I got some street cred when it comes to Irish American culture. My father is a retired policeman.

King Cake
We’re approaching Fat Tuesday and in honor of all things Mardi Gras, we will be serving some delicious King Cake at brunch this weekend. In case you’re not familiar with the tradition and the king of cakes, the purple, yellow and green cake has a hidden trinket inside - most likely a naked baby(?!?) Who ever finds the little trinket wins a privilege and/or obligation. At bobo that...
