BREAKFAST-BASKET

MOTHER’S DAY

Honor Thy Mother

Different families, different traditions, but at our house Mother’s Day has always been about breakfast in bed. Mom gets coffee and the paper everyday, but on Sunday, May 13th she’ll also get warm croissants and raspberry jam plus a choice of pancakes or granola. We’ll probably eat the babka while we make her breakfast, but then we’ll all jump on the bed, dogs included and watch her eat. We promise to wash the dishes afterwards, too.

Eli's List

While we wait for Spring to arrive….

…you’ll find us drinking Chablis. Zesty. Bright. Vibrant. Mineral. Savory. All adjectives that apply to the wines of Chablis, the most northern region of Burgundy. All too often underrated and overlooked by wine lovers, these wines share a purity, brightness and versatility that we love. We’ll be tasting and talking about them a lot in March while we scan the horizon for the first signs of Spring.

 What's on Eli's Mind

I start saying "Spring is in the air…" on the first warm day in February and I keep it up till it comes true. A sort of fake-it-till- you-make-it season inducer. At this point any sign of the warmer weather ahead can thrill me—asparagus and rhubarb in the produce department, the arrival of the first soft shell crabs. All these things are reasons to feel optimistic which can often be hard on a grey, wet day, no matter the month.
