I had a lot of leftovers to use up

Impromptu Labor Day brunch with girlfriends. Carollina brought peach cake and Nara Nayar brought some of her amazing dahlias. Going to try to dry them today.

I did omelette bar, mostly because I had a lot of leftovers to use up.

Options:

  • Mexican (grilled corn, chicken, sautéed avocado, cherry tomatoes, spiced pork (al pastor), grilled green mango, Mexican cheese blend, spicy tomatillo sauce)
  • smoked salmon, chive & onion cream cheese, red onion, sliced tomato, capers
  • sautéed mushroms and onions with Swiss

Worked pretty well — I just made them one at a time, and since there were just a few of us, no one had to wait very long.

Also feeling autumnal enough that I made some of the apple-cheddar crescent rolls I usually make in the fall. Those aren’t fancy — just Pillsbury crescent, with an apple sliced in eighths, and a little cheese, bake 15 minutes. I’m entering the season of autumn baking — next week, I’m going to start cooking for the fall Patreon boxes.
