the day after (lyn)

My mom is serving brunch at 11:30.  It's remarkable that we could all be hungry again.  I grab some photos before eating.

Jim begins to prepare two dozen eggs when he's told that won't be enough.  He's encouraged to add another two dozen, and does so reluctantly.  "We'll never finish all of them," he says.  

Jim makes all the eggs and they are all eaten, along with bagels, lox, cream cheese, and three different breakfast breads that Jean has made (pumpkin chocolate chip, banana, and banana chocolate chip).

I take a few more photos before we leave for Mashpee Commons.

Once there, we immediately need to re-fuel at Starbucks.

I come home to lose a game of gin to my mom; everyone else sees a movie.
 
By seven, we are all back and we are all hungry.  Again.  We sip red wine, and eat a monster sized salad and a lasagna that Jean has made.  There are no leftovers.  Surprise.  Surprise.  This is a skinny, big-eating crowd.

For dessert, we celebrate the three November-December birthdays (Alexander, Sally and Adam) with an ice-cream cake, wishing Happy Birthday to All.

Then I take a few shots...
