breakfasts are the new dinner parties
The Bessers are officially weekend espresso maniacs, enjoying hosting our friends on Saturday mornings for coffee and conversation. Sometimes, too, a coffee AM becomes a coffee PM (one lasted till almost 5pm… really!).
In a lot of respects, they are the new dinner parties for us because it can be difficult to coordinate schedules when you want to get together with more than one family. Maybe it’s just the Bay Area but everyone has A LOT going on and available Friday/Saturday nights seem to be at a premium.
So, we think we’ve found a great solution in our monthly coffees. They give us quality time with friends and the pace is a little slower than an evening event (especially for me as I am not that skilled on our Italian Vibiemme machine). I highly recommend them as a way to connect with friends and neighbors. If you host one soon, would you please leave me a comment about how it went?
Our next Coffee AM is tomorrow morning – if you are a FRL (that is, a friend in “real” life) please stop by and join us. We usually start around 8am!
P.S. Dane made strawberry pancakes today… my boy is on fire in the kitchen these days!
SO GLAD to see that D is marathon-training for his future stint in bed and breakfast land.. now just make sure he can do that for 40-50 people in 90 minutes or less.. oh, and make something different every day for weeks on end.. Meanwhile we are enjoying our breakfast-free quiet season away from it all, and especially happy to have the time to check in with your blog! XO
Ed, yes he is!! He is really looking forward to working at Topside one day and is practicing diligently as you can see. I’m enjoying your FB posts (and Brian’s) as well, although I must confess I can’t wait for this season’s installments of "Today, …"
Awww those pancakes look so yummy! Kisses and enjoy your SundayPs:I didnt have a chance to post the follow up about growing up in Poland yet but I will make sure to do it soon:)
