Tonight I made the dough for cinnamon rolls in my Kitchenaid stand mixer so we can have our gay friends who are parents over for brunch, coffee, and some discussion of the Sunday New York Times while listening to indie music via our iTunes.

I read this, laughed, and then immediately joined Ruth in cleaning our house so that we could have people over for brunch on Sunday. Ruth made cinnamon rolls, but not in the Kitchenaid; I used the mixer’s bowl to make batter for pancakes. People were still talking about how good the coffee was the next day, in our graduate school classes.

Of course, there were some important differences between the Holbo/Waring brunch and the Johnson/Barrett brunch. We had sausage from Whole Foods, which they probably can’t get. Most of the vegetables in the omelets were organic, purchased the day before at the local farmer’s market. We were also poorly prepared, and had to send a guest out on my bicycle to get more flour. Our was a jazz brunch, so no indie music, and we use the much more awesome mpd rather than iTunes. Rather than the Sunday Times, we talked about our plans to travel this fall.
