SUNDAY BRUNCH MEME & EVENT (FR/ENG)

"SUNDAY BRUNCH MEME"
BLOGGING-EVENT & ROUND-UP

All those memes going around have inspired me greatly. I always have a lot of pleasure taking part in them and tagging other bloggers...

This is the reason why I decided to create a new meme and round-up in relationship with Sunday mornings and food!

The idea is that you show us your typical Sunday breakfast or brunch table, give us a detailed description of what's on it and tell us why you love to sit around it to eat. If ever you live in a country where Sundays are not free (weekend) or if you don't really do much on this day, then you can also participate by writing about the kind of breakfast/brunch that you have when you are on holiday or free...

I hope that this meme will feed you interest and fulfill your healthy "voyeur" predispositions by virtually sneaking a peak into your fellow foodies' homes, on Sunday morning, in order to see what's in their plates!!!

On Sunday, we usually eat around dinner time (12 PM). I would not call this meal a breakfast, but rather a brunch.

It is made to hold fill our stomachs till the evening, therefore we eat more consistantly. We like to enjoy savory food as much as sweet stuff and I find it important to have a healthy element added to it all. In fact, it is kinda typically Swiss!

I always make my own bread as we rarely buy it. I believe that mine is the best I've eaten so far (without wanting to sound too pretentious!)...

I really look forwards to my Sunday morning as it is the only day of the week during which we can relax while eating, enjoy the balcony as well as the nice weather (in the Summer) and savor some good food.

Here is a idea of what you'll find on our table:
. Cheese of any kind as long as it's tasty and has a strong flavor.
. Bread, always homemade (see recipes) and fresh (out of the freezer and refreshed in the oven).
. Butter as it makes enhances the flavor of food!
. Vegetables like cherry tomatoes (depending on the season).
. Honey because it goes best with peanut butter...
. Peanut Butter as I can never get enough of it, especially when paired with honey or even cheese!
. Jam that is always homemade by my boyfriend's mother or by myself.
. Praline Paste, homemade (recipe soon to come). One of the most gorgeous spreads, especially on brioche bread. You'll not always find it on our table as sometime we will have Lemon Curd (see recipe) or something else.
. Nutella, of course! This spread is a real drug as once you start, you can't stop!
