I'm quite proud of today's display of intestinal fortitude at the Fairmont Algonquin in St. Andrews. Here are the dirty details about the dent I put in the buffet...
ROUND ONE (Breakfast)
* Custom-made omelet featuring ham, onion, green and red pepper, jalapenos, tomato, cheese. Oh, and eggs.
* Waffle with fruit and syrup
* Bacon
* A crepe-like sponge marinated in maple syrup
* Home fried potatoes
ROUND TWO (Lunch)
* Roast beef and a sauce the cook named and which I'll say I can't remember but the truth is I wasn't really listening because all I could focus on was how delicious that roast beef was going to be
* Caesar salad (gotta have SOME veggies)
ROUND THREE (Lunch v. 2.0)
* More roast beef
* Chicken breast
* Some sort of tasty rice dish
ROUND FOUR (Dessert)
With most of the family down for the count, it was up to me to finish this meal off with a proper treat... or four
* Pecan pie
* Strawberry mousse
* Strawberry tart
* One Nanaimo bar
NUTRITION INFORMATION: Estimated calories: Enough to feed a family of four for three days.
For the record, brunch was at 1:15 and it's now 7:40 and I STILL haven't eaten anything else.
IMPORTANT QUESTION: Does blogging about the Algonquin Brunch make it a tax write-off?
