Bubbly Back Porch Brunch!

One thing I love about our new country life is having the time and space to welcome friends to a relaxing, slow-paced environment. Between the Bay, the farmer's market and our own back porch, we have plenty of chances to connect with nature and our meals often reflect that connection. This weekend I was thrilled to welcome some amazing DC women to C-town and they were kind enough to sample the various CSA (and farmers' market) experiments, culminating in this morning's brunch.

Hope you're hungry!

We pulled together ingredients from Lockbriar Farms and Colchester CSA as well as the lovely folks who brought us the Freixenet for our OJ. Our al fresco brunch included Baked Oatmeal with Blackberries and Ginger (which could use more candied ginger),  Orange Sweet Rolls (just perfect), Anise and Plum Phyllo Crisps (good ol' Martha), a tasty scallion and gruyere omelette (you can't go wrong, really) and fresh plum tomatoes, sugar plums and apricots. 

We rounded out the meal with farro porridge with blueberries, coffee and mimosas. Many thanks to the gorgeous DC and C-town guests who made the meal into an fabulous event!
