breakfast for dinner

i have a big group of friends here and we like to get together about once a week for a party. sometimes it’s just someone on friday afternoon sending out an e-mail and inviting people to bring some food over and hang out if they’re not doing anything else on saturday night. surprisingly frequently, we like to attach some sort of “theme” to the party. this past weekend, two of our friends hosted a “breakfast for dinner” party that was a big hit. they reasoned that we rarely eat breakfast together and there are so many great breakfast foods that we should just have them for dinner. so, there were egg casseroles and quiches, biscuits and gravy, cinnamon rolls, pancakes, french toast, various baked goods, several fruit salads and crepes. delicious!

other parties that have been so popular that they’ve become annual or semi-annual include sushi making parties, “saladpalooza,” the i-reuben (a combination of homemade reuben sandwiches and music file sharing — shhhhh….), the fondue party, tapas parties, fajita party and probably a few that i’ve forgotten. not everyone can come to every party, but i sometimes regret when we have to go out of town for a weekend because we almost always miss a get-together and you never know which ones will become legendary.
