bread and breakfasts

[verbicide]

So, I'm having Judy and Ellie and Milo over for brunch on Sunday. This is very exciting because it involves my favoritest activity of all: FANTASY MENU PLANNING.

I think I have it mostly narrowed down.

Fresh Orange Juice
Jamie Oliver's Potato and Asparagus Tart
Italian Chicken Sausage Patties
Salad with field greens, red bell peppers, sunflower seeds, carrots, and scallions with a roasted red pepper dressing.
Dorie Greenspan's Lemon Cream Tart (or possibly something else from the Bon Apetit issue that just landed in my mailbox)

I know there's enough starch with the potatoes, but I really like a bread-y component to my brunch. Maybe some toast with Jeff's pomegranate jelly? Would scones or biscuits be overkill--sweet or savory? I did just make these cheddar/scallion biscuits for NYE that went over quite well.

I agree with teh pony! At least, if I were going to be eating.

But thinking of a wider audience, I would go for something with a bit of sweet in it. Sounds like the rest is pretty savory already, so the jelly or the berries in the scones would be a good contrast.

But there's a really decadent lemon cream tart! That's the only reason I didn't automatically go for the sweet.

But I like the idea of the toast, because that can be savory or sweet per my guests choice!
