did you know that gluttony is the gateway sin?

I learned this and many other fun facts at Ina and Jacob's Easter potluck brunch. I never realized my friends were all so creative in the kitchen. Every type of baked egg dish from strada's to quiches were well represented along with delicious pasteries and desserts. Ina was also stationed at the blender for a good part of the afternoon whipping up batches of her mother's peach mimosa's which were sweet and bubbly. I made an onion casserole, which is my grandmothers recipe. It is made from butter, onion, swiss cheese, cream, egg and ritz crackers, a yummy heart attack in a pan. I am going to ask for the rights (from my dad) to the recipe before I post it, it might be a secret Bono family thing. One thing that I am definitely stealing from this brunch is the amaretto strawberry shots. A really fun way to "do shots" without the unfortunate falling off the barstool, waking up with a headache, getting into fights with strangers type side effects. They only require light preparation and three ingredients: strawberries, amaretto and whipped cream. Just cut the top off of the strawberry and hollow out a small hole for the amaretto, top with whipped cream and enjoy.
