M.F.K. Fisher wrote, "There is a communion of more than our bodies when bread is broken and wine drunk." It's a beautiful thought, and one I believe wholeheartedly. Something amazing can happen when you sit down to share a meal with someone, particularly people who are special to you. Conversation occurs, connections are made or strengthened, souls are fed.
This morning, I had the opportunity to do a brunch for some dear friends. Today's menu:
A signature salad with orange dressing
Pumpkin bread
Crustless dill and onion quiche
Fruit salad
Brownie
For the baked goods, I admit I used mixes -- namely, Breads From Anna Pumpkin Bread and Namaste's brownie mix, both of which are go-to products for me. Each have passed the is-it-tasty-for-someone-who-isn't-gluten-free? test. I've gotten rave reviews for both, and until I create better recipes of my own, they remain staples on my pantry shelf. The others are creations of my own, and comfort foods all.
Best was spending several hours with cherished friends. Time very well spent.
