Mystery Basket Sunday this week was themed and it was such a good idea! We decided to get a bunch of breakfast foods and some decadent goodies...and we made sure not to forget the champagne. We have to give props to our chef for this one though. We gathered together a little later than expected but it is really hard to get out of my own house on Sunday, especially after a crazy Saturday night like one we had. As I began setting out all the groceries on the table I got really excited and very hungry. We were joined by the usual crew and as usual we ate a lot. There were seven of us this week and a lot of us follow the show 'LOST' so we brought over the season five blu-ray disc and refreshed our memory for the season premiere of the sixth and final season. I loved everything about the mystery basket menu this week. Although everything was so good, we do always have a favorite dish of the evening. My favorite dish was the french toast with fresh fruit but my husband's favorite dish was the poached egg on top of a croissant. We enjoyed the whole night and it was another great Sunday but I think I might need to double up on my weekly workouts to be able to eat like I did last night. The food looks too good to have restrictions on Sundays, right?!
And we ate for many hours...
Course 1: Sausage gravy made with breakfast sausage, milk, buttermilk, cinnamon, sage and paprika with a rue over homemade Johnny cakes, aka cornmeal pancakes, then drizzled with maple syrup.
Course 2: Sliced croissant, topped with raw spinach, back bacon, smoked salmon, poached egg, hollandaise and finished with sliced kiwis.
Course 3: Baked strawberry, banana and cocoa French toast made with bastone bread, sweetened French toast batter, topped with strawberries, bananas, crushed walnuts, peanut butter chocolate ganache and fresh maple brown syrup.
Course 4: Country fried steak with a maple baked bean sausage gravy and served over won tons stuffed with red onion, red and green peppers, thick cut bacon, back bacon, spinach, cheddar cheese and topped with a Captain Morgan™ and Kona coffee jus.
Course 5: Maple apple grits topped with fresh fruit and walnuts.
"...and that concludes another Mystery Basket."
