Jane's Message March, 2011
Somehow spring fever really brings on the urge to begin entertaining with yummy, fun Sunday brunches. Beautiful, easy to make and delicious dishes such as the Huevos Rancheros or actually any of the ones featured this month will give you a great jump start on your very own Spring Brunches. I haven’t shared my favorite brunch ideas in quite a time. Brunches have always been a very fun time to entertain, because there is so little time pressure. I like to have everything ready to just pop into the oven when the time seems right.
As one of my friends in New York City used to say, Sundays are so much more relaxing when “you get a buzz on early in the day”. Of course you do not need to drink alcohol, however if you do, Bloody Marias garnished with a long cucumber curl instead of the ubiquitous celery stick and made with tequila instead of vodka are a good eye-opener. Or, make silkies—a Remus Fizz made with tequila instead of gin or vodka. And, of course champagne is always good either served as champagne or with orange juice. And of course there are many, many other ideas. Non-alcoholic drinks can include special teas blended with fruit juices and sparkling water. For a Mexican twist, try Jamaica, which is Hibiscus tea—very similar to Celestial Seasonings’ Red Zinger tea.
