Nanette's Birthday (2008)

Posted at 6:19 pm MDT to Miscellaneous

Happy Birthday, Nanette!

The celebration was a very nice lunch at Brasserie Ten Ten with Nanette's husband, two of her daughters and a number of her friends. Lots of good food and good conversation.

The menus were brunch and desserts, which was a little frustrating, but at least there were a few items without eggs and dairy. Most people had variations on eggs benedict. Nanette had crepes with goat cheese and duck filling. (I wonder if it is possible to do crepes without egg yolks.)

I wonder if I'm allergic to duck eggs? If I had ever seen duck eggs for sale in the Boulder area I would see about getting tested. Ducks and chickens are not very closely related, and since I seem to have very narrow allergies -- cow and sheep milk but not goat, egg yolks but not the whites -- it might be worth checking.

Not that being able to eat duck eggs would be any help for eating breakfast while travelling. When you eliminate commercial baked goods, eggs, and dairy products there isn't much left on most hotel's breakfast menus.

James the plumber was at the brunch, and we finally scheduled a time for him to work on my kitchen and laundry room. He is coming on Tuesday morning. I need to do some cleaning before then, and call the Appliance store to tell them I want my new appliances some time in the next few weeks. Yay.

On the way home I stopped at my local Whole Foods (ex Wild Oats) to pick up a few things.They have just done a major reorganization of where things are shelved -- probably an aftershock from the change of control. Nothing is where it used to be. but at least now that the rearrangement is done they have restocked the shelves. Things were bit sparse last week.
