He Arose, Therefore I Brunch

I totally get that Ive been away for far too long. From Good Friday to Easter, I was in various stages of preparing for Easter Sunday. Plastic eggs to fill and hide, eggs to buy and color, matching shirts to Tye dye, brunch, pictures, you know the drill. Usually, we go to brunch at the Waverly, but the hubby was supposed to work (economic crisis, you know). Then, he surprised us with the day off, and the choices of the places we could get a reservation with left much to be desired in the heart of a true foodie. How can you have Easter Brunch without crab cakes and ham? SIGH. I went to culinary school for the food, remember???
So, here is the menu for Easter Brunch at home with the Nudity Family (us):

Brunch in Our Underwear

Smoked Salmon Platter (with everything bagels)

Fruit Display

Ices Shrimp and Crab Claws

Caramelized Sugar Bacon (yum)

Vegetarian Sausage (Carlton Banks)

Cinnamon Raisin French Toast

Buttermilk Biscuits

Cream Cheese Danish

Fried Cod

Peasant Potatoes

Buttered Asparagus

Caesar Salad (with burned croutons- totally my fault, too)

Assorted Pretty Desserts from Dekalb Farmers Market

I didn't get crab cakes OR ham, but the trade off was worth it, as I was able to knock back a stellar amount of Bellini's and stumble right into the living room, where I crashed and slept till dark. YAY, "Itis"! See, I AM black. Or, do we all get tired after marathon eating??? You be the judge.

Anyhow, thanks, Jesus, for that stuff you did.
