Brunch at Home
We ran some errands in the morning and were hankering for a filling meal.
Caprese Salad
Tomato, fresh mozzerella and basil layered and seasoned with balsamic vinager, olive oil, salt and pepper.
Tuna and Olive Oil
This was canned tuna that was in Giao's x-mas stocking and that Alexis' mom claims is the best ever. It was far better than regular canned tuna.
Baked Egg with Tomato, Parmasean and Basil
Alexis got all these little ramekins recently and wanted to make some use of them. These little eggs were very tasty.

-2 eggs
-1 small yellow tomato, diced
-2 tb parmasean, grated
-2 leaves basil, shredded
-salt and pepper
Inside of each ramekin, arrange the tomato along the outside rin, creating a hole for the egg. Break the egg into the hole and season with salt and pepper. Bake at 400 for about 15 minutes, or until the egg is almost cooked. Put 1 tb of parmasean on top of each and bake for another minute or so, until the parmasean is melted. Sprinkle with basil.

Playoff Party at Home
Clam Chowder
This is an incredibly rich version of clam chowder, adapted from the Duke's (of Seattle) restaurant recipe. The one major change is that we use turnips instead of potatos.
-4 strips bacon, cut into lardons
-1 onion, diced
-3-4 celery stalks, diced
-3 turnips, peeled and diced
-1 Costco sized can of chopped sea clams (reserve juice)
-4 cups heavy cream
-1 cup half and half
-1/3 cup flour
-2 tb butter
-garlic powder, cayenne, white pepper, black pepper, salt to taste
-2 bay leaves
-1 handful fresh basil, chopped
-1 handful fresh parsley, chopped
-1 handful fresh dill, chopped
-1 ts dried marjoram
Cook bacon until translucent in a deep pot. Add the onions, celery, spices and butter and sautee for until veggies are soft. Add the flour and cook for a few more minutes over low heat. Add the liquids and bay leaves, including the reserved clam juice and bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer. Add the turnips and cook until tender and the soup has thickened. Add the fresh herbs and the clams, cook for a few more minutes.

Cheesesteaks from The Cheesesteak Shop
A friend was kind enough to bring over cheesesteaks in honor of the Eagles. They were delicious.
Artichoke Jalapeno Dip
This dip from Costco was pretty good on veggies and pita chips.
Crudites
For dipping or just munching.
Stuffed Pepperoncinos
These are a derivation of jalapeno poppers, but they are served cold and not deep fried.
Bagel Station
Bagels, cream cheese, lox, red onion, capers and lemon--all the fixings for a fabulous breakfast.
The whole bagel...

Brunch at a Friend's House, San Francisco, CA
Deviled Eggs
This 1950's classic was our contribution to the brunch.
-a dozen eggs, hard boiled, peeled and halved lengthwise
-1/8 cup mayo
-2 tb dijon
-1 tb garlic powder
-1 ts paprika, plus a bit to dust
-salt and pepper to taste
Pop the yolks out of the halved, hard boiled eggs and put in a bowl. Combine with the rest of the ingredients and either spoon the mixture into the now empty whites, or make a pastry bag by cutting the tip off of a ziploc bag. Dust with paprika.
Bacon
Good bacon, bad picture. Nothing says a good party like free-flowing bacon.
