Waah, I am like the laziest lazy person that there ever was!
...
Actually that's not really true, truth is I have been neglecting this blog because I haven't been ...brunching lately.
Yup, not because I have lost my love of the magic that is brunch or that I haven't craved cured meats and waffles because god knows I have, the truth is...
(No really I swear to blog this is the truth)
Get ready...
Joe and I have (for the most part) given up our Saturday afternoon pizza and pitcher dates, our Saturday night boiler makers, and we have given up sleeping in Sundays then eating mile high breakfast sandwiches and pancake stacks...we have given these things up or well traded them for...
TRIPS TO THE GYM
I know it sounds totally unbelievable, but you can call the Planet Fitness and ask if you want, it's true!
(so it's a sort of lack of laziness that has cause this neglect)
Also I got a little discouraged by the fact that super duche Bobby Flay has a brunch show now, I mean come on man that was supposed to be MY show (so basically I hate you Food Network and I hate you more Bobby Flay)...
...(life this far ahead of the cure is hard...whomp whomp)
Any how, last weekend Joe and I didn't do so good with our new healthy lifestyle (and that's fine I mean you cant be perfect all the time though I do come close)
My point!...My point?
Oh right so last weekend started all weird because Friday we were in like weirdo police state lock down shut in, and I think that that really messed up our whole weekend...also we went to a show Saturday and Joe got drunk (I may have been slightly tipsy as well)...Oh and our roomie had a "house guest"...gross...so gross!
Again I digress, so because of the hangover and my debilitating allergies, we decided to skip the gym (people give you dirty dirty looks when you are dripping snots on the treadmills) and go out to eat. We went to a place near our house called Christopher's, (it's amazing if you are in the Cambridge MA area go) and to our surprise brunch was (still) happening there, so to get finally to my point, I am doing a review of that for you!
(Please try and contain your excitement, and I shall try and do the same)
So we started with some beers, I had the Opa Opa raspberry wheat, and that's sort of an odd choice for me I normally don't like fruit (except for the Bolder grapefruit IPA, my favorite summer beer) or wheat beer, but it wasn't bad, sort of flavorless actually...a nice pallet cleanser if you will. Joe had some India pale lager? it was weird...so beer was a wash, (we just gave in and for the second round had High Life, witch is guess in an odd way is totally appropriate for brunch because it's the champagne of beer and champagne and brunch are like practically married...they are at least living together)
They had so many brunch cocktails, but we decided with the hangover and all it was best to stick with beers (god help me next time I am getting one of each...don't tell Joe).
Joe was being indecisive as per usual, but he got a brunch burger (it had a fancy name but I don't remember it) sans onion roll and chipotle aioli (he got a plain burger bun and aioli on the side) basically is was a burger with, bacon egg and cheese...he was a happy camper, until he had to stand up and realized a quarter pound burger with bacon egg and cheese with a whole side of home fries was waaay too much food.
I had an omelet...an aged cheddar omelet, with bacon and beef steak tomato, with home fries and a side of hollandaise sauce (because I am super gross and would drink that stuff if I didn't fear Joe's gag reflex becoming overactive). Over all the food was amazing, however both meals came with 'fruit salad', and well I don't think I would call that fruit salad, I mean...my honeydew we cantaloupe...just melon (it's the honeymoon salad of brunch)(HA HA), and honestly just call it a side of melon don't get my hopes up calling it 'fruit salad', the sliver of strawberry and lone grape don't count for shit!
Woah sorry, I got kinda worked up...
(I feel very strongly about fruit salad, and Joe has this odd phobia of cantaloupe my apologies)
All in all, I really want to go back every Sunday and get brunch there, so I guess, if I were giving stars I would give it five and three-quarters because...I don't know, because I say so, plus giving something five stars is a real commitment.
Anyhow, that's my review of brunch, I will someday get better a reviewing foods...because hot damn would it be nice to get paid to eat and say snarky things...I mean like really really nice!
I am not sure when I will post again, or what I will be posting. Healthy brunch?...that sounds boring so probably not, but I will post again soon, I know how you can not go on with out me (the whole three of you that read this).
Welp, remember kids:
Wish me luck on my journey to healthy town via Gym Ave. and Diet Rd.
Buh-Bye!
I will miss you if you miss me!
P.S. I will send a postcard along the way, by way of blog post mostly on days that I am all like:
Love and Special K!...yeah that Special K...
