Today: Bagels and bubbly.
[tweetmeme source=”elizabethev” only_single=false]We got things popping early this morning, enjoying brunch on the roof with our friends Tina and Mal. What”s better than having great running pals? When those great running pals become become bagel and bubbly buddies, too. We always have such a great time with them! We had planned to get a long run in before brunching, but every now and then, it pays to just cut to the bagels chase. This morning I whipped up a platter of grown up bagel bites, which paired perfectly with mimosas. (Everything pairs perfectly with mimosas.)
We planned to eat by the pool, so I wanted to be sure our low key brunch was, well, low key. Who wants to tote around knives or creamed cheese? Don’t answer that. I pre-made a few bagel sandwiches, cut them in quarters and secured each quarter with a toothpick. My favorite combos:
- Peanut butter and jam on plain bagels
- Cucumber and garlic hummus on everything bagels
- Heirloom tomatoes and cucumber slices with veggie cream cheese on wheat bagels
- Buying lots of cute, pink things for our friends’ new baby! 🙂
- This looks like the perfect late summer cocktail
- Three cheers for this six-year-old

RE: Champagne cork — yikes! I hit myself in the eye with one right before the curtain went up at a Shakespeare on the Green performance of King Lear. Had to leave at intermission : ( But my eye is fine : )
