mmm...mmm...mimosa

Exams start tomorrow so it was up and at 'em early this morning to head off to meet the "study buddies". After some quality review time at Starbucks, and convincing ourselves that we got contracts beat, it was reward time for our hard work. Down the street for some Calories.

For those not in Saskatoon, Calories is a local restaurant on Broadway (like Bloor St. West for the Toronto Crowd, and well like nothing in Yellowknife for the Northern Crowd). Anyways, it's Sunday, it's just after 12, it's brunch time. I love breakfast so Sunday brunch is a particular favourite of mine.

Feeling all smart and educated, it was time for a reward. A quick scan of the menu, and boom, top of the page - a Mimosa. Growing up, I always thought Mimosas were one of those drinks they serve in the first class cabin on airplanes or to society ladies who lunch. It's an incredibly decadent idea, champagne for breakfast, and not something that is in the regular lives of people. As Robin Leach said, caviar wishes and champagne dreams.

Here's a recipe for Mimosas I found online. It appears the order of pouring is important.

Anyways, here's for champagne being more than just a special occasion drink. Next Sunday, spend a little extra time in bed, and make yourself a Mimosa.
