Cooking away the March Madness blues with a Spanish frittata.
Weekend culinary highlight: a killer brunch this morning at home! Featuring my special bloody marys*, mimosas, baked eggs with chorizo and potatoes from Food and Wine, and our go-to recipe for butterscotch sticky buns, among other deliciousness brought by friends.
Bloody recipe(ish):it’s always evolving, but use to taste: tomato juice, lime juice, worcestershire sauce, hot sauce (currently using a great one from Woodberry Kitchen in Baltimore, which uses fish peppers), horseradish, garlic powder, onion powder, celery seed, and fresh ground black pepper. Add vodka, or for a bloody Maria variation, tequila and fresh basil leaves
Weekend culinary highlights: French toast for brunch at the Trellis Restaurant in Williamsburg, VA last Saturday.
Miss Shirley’s to open in DC? This would be awesome!
When Baltimore residents are looking for dishes like chicken and waffles and Key lime-cheesecake stuffed French toast, many of them (between 1,000 and 1,500 on a typical Saturday, in fact) turn to Miss Shirley’s. Soon, D.C. residents may get the same opportunity. (via Eater DC)
New deal: I’ll gladly help you move your new patio furniture if it means I get a delicious homemade brunch on said patio.
Thanks, Sam and Di!

Bikeshared to brunch at Birch and Barley with my beloved and a buddy. Enjoyed this delicious fried egg BLT and some beers (including a new Bluejacket brew, Snack Attack).
We also had some tasty fresh made doughnuts, but they don’t quite fit with the alliteration theme.
Apple-Crumb Coffee Cakes — more good stuff for tomorrow morning’s Christmas Eve brunch in Bristol!
