Menu for New Year's Brunch

Champagne Punch:

Equal parts lemonade, champagne, and club soda

Mulled cider:

Cider with fresh nutmeg and cinnamon

Eggnog:

Open carton. Pour in whiskey if desired.

Coffee
Tea
Peppermint hot cocoa


Food:

Best pancakes ever, cooked on an electric griddle set to 350.

Perfect scrambled eggs:

One dozen eggs
1/2 cup heavy cream
Salt
Pepper
Grated swiss cheese (optional)

Whisk together ingredients. Cook over low heat in a nonstick pan, or better, a double boiler. This takes half an hour, but you don't really have to do anything.

Humanely raised bacon: place bacon on a plate atop paper towels. (You can layer the bacon with two paper towels in between each row). Microwave on high for approximately 5-6 minutes, depending on your microwave, and how crispy you like your bacon. Cooks perfectly, and the grease is in the paper towels for easy disposal.

Humanely raised chicken sausage: I don't really have to tell you how to cook sausage, do I?

Grapefruit
Canteloupe
Clementines

Serve with football, a Wii, and a bunch of people who drank too much last night.

Hope those of y'all who won't be there are working off your hangovers in some similarly productive way.
