With the leftover ingredients from last weekend’s N.E.B. I have three quiches to make today. And some more potatoes. And some more bacon. I’m eating the last of the mini-bagels as I’m slightly dreading make them this huge brunch meal again, if only for the mess and dirty dishes it will produce. But I don’t want to waste the eggs and all the other ingredients that have taken over my refrigerator.

While I’m munching on my bagels and contemplating pouring a bloody mary (there’s that leftover too) I am face(booke)d with an offer from Patty to go out and have brunch. She’s practically saying that we’re going out and I have no say in the matter. Looking around at the quiche ingredients I’ve assembled on the counter I invite her over to 1526 to help me put a dent into the impending brunch extravaganza. I tell her we may need some champagne or vodka to make some brunch drinks and she says she’ll stop by the store and she’s on her way. Now I really have to get it in gear.

I recreate almost verbatim last week’s menu: veggie; sausage and green chile; three cheese. I don’t have any pics of them after cooking because we were so hungry but here they are still in liquid form before being put into the oven. So easy to make.

Let me say that Patty and I may or may not have ever met each other in person. We’re still trying to piece that together. We have a mutual friend, the self-described Funbags, and Patty and I have become Facebook Friends and since we’re both never more than 18-inches away from our phones there is a lot of Facebook status updating and commenting and all that it seems like we’re old friends now.

Patty, obviously distracted by shiny and/or pink things, arrives with a slew of liquid bevvies. The first that we tackled was Nuvo, which resembled a huge perfume bottle by J.Lo. Twas very pink, very girly and very sweet. It’s incredients are “ultra premium” vodka, sparkling wine, some peachy-nectar and extra carbonation. This bottle didn’t last very long.

Next was the 4-pack of Sofia Mini Blanc de Blanc from Francis Coppola. Again, cute, pink and sparkly, these reminded me of the ill-fated Tab Energy drinks from a few years ago. Small and compact, these didn’t last very long either.

Then we popped open the discoball-contained bottle of Absolut and tried to make an actual discoball out of it but apparently I don’t have enough pinpoint lighting. I’ll have to work on that. To complete our disco theme we launched Rhapsody (Patty has an account) and started playing DJ well into the evening.

All in all it was a fun, unexpected turn of events of the day’s planned laundry-a-thon. And I had someone to help enjoy at least some of all the food that was made.
