#19: Sunday Brunch

Sunday brunch with some of the girls. MChiu, KLu, and I met up for a sunday breakfast...which soon became a brunch (since we didn't really get around to eating until 10:30am probably). For the first time ever, I made Belgian waffle batter from scratch using an Allrecipes.com recipe. The recipe called for self rising flour (instead of yeast), so I let the batter rest for 40 minutes after making it. I also brought some chocolate chips to throw into the batter before starting up the waffle iron. KLu got the ingredients to make a delicious berry compote...basically add sugar and simmer to caramelize the sugars and bind with the fruit. We resorted to frozen berries since the fresh ones were on the more expensive side and not very seasonally relevant. MChiu did made-to-order egg scrambles with: egg, mushroom, pepper, onion, tomato, and cheese. the waffles and eggs made a sweet and savory combination. The meal was delicious! and hopefully the start of a new tradition.
