Despite the fact that this is the second time in one week that I am writing about making pancakes, the truth is that I’m not a huge pancake person. I’ll take french toast or waffles over pancakes any day. That said, the pancakes I made yesterday morning might have converted me. I awoke with a [...]

Back in the US of A
Posted in biweekly photo, brunch on May 20, 2009 | 1 Comment »
Yesterday morning — our refrigerator bare, our stomachs empty and jet lagged — we headed to our local diner for some brunch. Above is what Dave had. I can’t say I missed the grease and the processed toast, but it sure did hit the spot.
Moffle party
Posted in brunch, japan, kitchen accessories, tagged moffle on May 17, 2009 | Leave a Comment »
Two days ago, I fulfilled one of my goals for this trip: I bought a moffle maker. Many of my relatives here had learned of the appliance for the first time through me, so I decided what better time to first use it than at a family brunch. Yesterday, Kuri and Seri were in from [...]
Cleaning out the fridge
Posted in brunch, tagged tomato and onion tart on May 9, 2009 | 1 Comment »
Yesterday, in preparation for leaving for Japan, I looked into the fridge to see what would not survive our 10-day absence. My inventory: fresh rosemary and thyme, a few eggs, some cream, the last bit of Beecher’s flagship cheese that we brought back from Seattle, along with two pints of mini heirloom tomatoes that I [...]
A brunch for mom

Last weekend, we celebrated Mother’s Day a week early with Dave’s mom because we will be in Japan this Sunday. Dave’s parents came over and I cooked. When I make brunch, I always like to pair one sweet and one savory dish together, perhaps because when I go out to brunch I can never decide [...]
Brunch at Five Points
Posted in brunch on April 20, 2009 | Leave a Comment »
Yesterday, I met my friend Julia (who I hadn’t seen in ages) for brunch at Five Points. I had heard good things about their well-hyped brunch, but I am always hesitant to go to trendy spots on the weekend as very few eggs are worth an hour wait. I was late meeting Julia in front [...]
Easter brunch at Telepan
Posted in brunch, tagged easter, telepan on April 13, 2009 | Leave a Comment »
Yesterday we celebrated Easter with Dave’s parents at Telepan (voted Best Newcomer in the 2007 Zagat’s survey). Chef/owner Bill Telepan is very much concerned with local sourcing for his seasonal menu, which is something that I greatly appreciate. His attention to detail was hard to miss in everything from the wall-size photo murals to the [...]
Choco toast
Posted in baked treat, brunch on March 28, 2009 | Leave a Comment »
Savoy (where I am currently a stage), is a block away from the Manhattan breakfast legend: Balthazar. My favorite menu item there is Le Panier, a basket of fresh baked breads, which includes one of my guilty pleasures: the chocolate bread. This bread can also be purchased from Balthazar Bakery, the small storefront adjacent to the [...]
