If you wait three decades, sometimes reunions can occur. Blue-eyed family traversed the country to a greeting of Sunday brunch at ChezHelvetica.  Barefoot Contessa’s Baked French Toast Casserole made with Challah and a Streussel topping, served as the centerpiece for our guests of German and Irish ancestry. Roasted Aidell’s Chicken Apple Breakfast sausage accompanied the French Toast, which was then doused with sweet Maple Syrup. Farmers Market Peaches were filled with a delightful mixture of Fagé Yogurt, Blueberries and Raspberries, adding an extra touch of joy to the meal.

    

Lively, heartfelt conversation about family matriarchs long gone, grand children (even great, great grand children) and current interests filled the afternoon, sweetened with delectable Chocolates from Bruge, Belgium. Then it was off to Golden Gate Park or Yosemite or Home, which we are so fortunate to have!
