for brunch this weekend we ate: toasted bagels with fresh tomatoes and mozzarella, sprinkled lightly with salt and pepper and drizzled with a balsamic vinegar reduction, paired with some brightly colored red strawberries on the side. we ended up walking to the store this morning for most of the ingredients then came home, quickly whipped it up and sat down to our sunday morning meal ritual which of course included lucy. today we watched the episode where lucy, ricky, ethel and fred are in paris. lucy and ethel go to a fashion show and lucy wants ricky to buy her one of the dresses they saw at the show … a completely classic lucy …. one of my favorites.
the rest of the day we sort of bummed around the house which is honestly kind of a rare occurrence for camden and i to both do together. – but it was one of those off and on rainy days and nothing sounded more appealing to us then to spend it relaxing within. we made our favorite cookie recipe just as one of the first bigger rain storms rolled in. the house was immediately filled with the smell of warm, buttery, chocolatey, cookies while the rain puttered down making a soft “tink-ing” sound on our newly installed air-conditioning that sits awkwardly in our living room window. after the cookies had finished baking, we propped the oven open to warm our slightly-cool home, poured ourselves a large glass of cold milk and sat down to watch breakfast at tiffany’s with our warm gooey goodness in hand. i seriously wish all days could be just like this.
oh yum! this looks so good

Your brunch photos always make me incredibly hungry. So good.
Those cookies… oh my!
I love days like that too. We did a bit of that this weekend. Hot chocolates, big bowls of popcorn and "comfort" TV – Pretty Little Liars back to back.

i love your words and photos, always. you're so talented at conveying mood.
and that brunch looks di-vine. i think maybe i'll make exactly that for breakfast-for-dinner tonight. ; )
They way you described baking cookies on a rainy day might be the very best thing I have ever read. 🙂
those cookies look fantastic, and what a great idea for a bagel topper! i always feel inspired by your simple yet delicious brunches.
