What kind of gift do you get your sister the brain surgeon for her birthday? The same exact gift I got last year, only this time it was even better. Chef Danielle made an encore appearance at the Mcmansion to show us gals how to prepare a gourmet brunch.
Our menu consisted of mushroom and three cheese strata, blueberry-stuffed french toast, roasted parmesan asparagus with poached eggs and bacon and pecan waffles with caramelized bananas. We prepared all of them ourselves with the careful supervision of Chef Danielle. Of course there were Mimosas a plenty and Lil Wicked was a lean, mean, chopping machine.
We learned all kinds of tidbits from Chef Danielle, the gossipy kind. For example; a certain TV Chef, who I affectionately refer to as Bobble Head with the new Boobs, makes certain that everyone on her set knows that she is a married woman. Calm down Bobble Head, anyone can buy boobs. Also Chef Danielle has worked for a fancy schmancy author whose wife’s assistant informed our dear Chef that Mrs. Author does not speak with the common folk and to please refrain from asking about her child proof door knobs. Whatever!!!
We also learned all about the lingo one must sling around whilst in the kitchen. That would be about the only time I would have ever heard “hot behind” in my lifetime. At least I heard it!!
Lil Wicked asked that next year we schedule Chef Danielle for a midnight snack cooking class. The Chef looked right at me and stated that if the martini back pack makes an appearance, so would she. Apparently last year’s key lime martini became a big hit on her party list.
My pleasure Chef. I will begin working on the midnight cocktail. See you next year!

I want to come too! I want a key lime martini. I'll wear sweats and I'll cook too. Please, please, please.
Bunco Babe: Jammies and Martinis. I think we have found the title for the party.
CEO: You are on the list, see you next September!
Look on the bright side, at least she's not a gynecologist. I cringe on my birthdays
Sounds like a fun time had by all...and uh, can I come for the martinis and jammies party too?
I have some cute jammies, can I come, too?
Sounds like you had a great time.
oh my h...you are the best sister ever!
& key lime martinis, second only to lavender martinis for me...they are my summer drink of choice!
Mmmm, I'm a sucker for appletini's, but that key lime martini may give the prior a run for it's money. I'll have to try it.
Dearest Wicked: Thanks for the brunch. A good time was had by all. Next year I expect to see all of your faithful followers with their favorite jammies on and martini glasses in tow....see you next year when I'm a year older, wiser and my liver has been given the clearance to drink by my physician....:)
I want to know what a hot behind is.
The Wife has been repeatedly scolded because she always likes to rub my butt while I'm trying to chop something. And my concentration ain't that good!
key lime martinis? You HAVE to post how to make those. They sound scrumptious!
Tommy: Maybe it's the very long day that I had, but I don't get why you are cringing? Young and sexy baby Doc. Can I hear an amen?
Karina:If you've got jammies, you are invited!
Sophie: You too, I'll be expecting you.
QDB: Lavender martinis? I'll trade you my key lime recipe for your lavender - okay?
Nyawela: Try it, you'll really like it!
Sis: You're most welcome. Looks like next years bash will be crowded - YAY!!
t2ed: And you are complaining about this? Keep chopping my friend!!! Is this what the kids are calling it these days? It's been so long, I can't remember.....
Crazy Lady: Come to the party and I will deconstruct it for you!!!

QDB: Lavender Martini sounds very good. Thanks for the recipe, you'll have to tell me how one makes lavender syrup. Here is the Key Lime recipe:
