Brunch

After my dad died, we stopped doing Easter dinner. We started going out for Easter Brunch.  And back in the day it was very reasonable for a treat.  Well as time moved on the prices of that brunch crept up.  Last I checked it was running like $35 a person.  For brunch.  I understand what the market will bear and all that.  But it was too much for our tastes.  So we started having brunch at home.
Now naturally we don't have every thing you can get at a brunch at a restaurant.  But in the three years we have done this we have learned what to cook that we like.
This year I made the blintz shells in a frying pan that was perfectly flat.  And that gave me perfectly round shells.  I remember the first year with the not flat pan and the odd shapes we had.  I found a great recipe this year and it is a keeper.
Pat made us all omelettes and cooked up the bacon and sausages.  We had strawberries for the blintzes if desired or they could be ate plain.  It was lovely.
After brunch the little man and I worked in the yard with Pat.  Mom watched TV with the little woman.  Family time.
