My favorite meal to have company in for is BREAKFAST! I even have a chapter in my cookbook on "breakfast" recipes. At that time of the day people are fresh and not frazzled by the day's happenings. I like to make as much as I can the day before, so when I get up in the morning, I can just pop it in the oven. There is nothing quite as homey as coming into a home and smelling good aromas and hot coffee brewing!
And, of course, dessert is always served. It might be layers of frosted flakes, ice cream and fruit, topped off with cool whip or chocolate syrup in a clear goblet or compote, or it might be a wedge of apple crumb pie! How about tomorrow at 8:30? |
