The Brooks owed us (rowers) a home-cooked meal, and today we cashed in. JB made French Toast using thick slices of artisan bread and a hint of orange zest. Warm maple syrup (the real stuff) on top. Eggs combined with oven-roasted mushrooms, ricotta cheese, thyme and lemon. The french toast was cooked to perfection and served just right. The eggs were light and fluffy with a nice complement of flavors. Empty plates from everyone.

I was made fun of because I took pictures of the pets (Raisin and Tenzig), and the food (as described above), but not the people at this gathering. Ha! I’ve gotten so accustomed of taking pics of the same thing (food and Max), that I didn’t even think to take photos of the guests. Whoops. My bad.

Thanks to the Brooks. Yum.
