Sunday food fest

Yesterday Guillemette called me to tell me she was still at brunch. We had planned to meet at 1.30 for coffee so that I could give her some things that Ed had left for her. She called at 2.30. The brunch was at Catherine's and so she invited me over.

There were piles of cakes. Catherine had made tiramisu and a pear and almond tart (and apparently a quiche). Pia had made a thin crust tart. Someone had brought a cheesecake from a well known bakery that sat around the corner. Croissants were stacked in the middle of the table.

I had gone with the intent merely to drop off the items for Guillemette. I had to be at Maki's at five, and still had to drop by Borders to buy a book of floral prints. But then Catherine offered me a mimosa and offered to take my coat. I stayed and sampled the sweets before saying my goodbyes. Today Guillemette leaves for France for three weeks. Catherine follows on Friday.

I was the first to arrive at Maki's. She told me that Teru wouldn't be coming until nine and that her other friends were coming around six thirty. I offered to leave and come back. Instead I stayed and chatted and watched as she wrapped bacon around scallops. John arrived and then her brother came home. Gigi showed up just as the scallops were coming out of the oven. They were delicious. Posted by eku at November 15, 2004 5:31 PM
