This is a Doctor Who household, although I know that I am a latecomer to this terrific 50-year BBC phenomenon. Count me as a huge fan, though, so the premier of Series 8 (in the reboot of the program) with Peter Capaldi now assuming the title role had to be marked and celebrated in style. As soon as it is available for download from Amazon.com, the morning after its British broadcast, I'm ready to watch it.
On this occasion, the Who Crew 'round here decided to make it an event, starting with a 9 am Sunday brunch before adjourning upstairs to watch the new Doctor in action. Here's what was on the menu yesterday morning:
 |
| Fresh Strawberries |
 |
| Blueberries, Raspberries, Blackberries |
 |
| ...with a sweet fruit cream for dipping and dousing |
 |
| Pecan Praline French Toast Casserole |
 |
| Slow-Cooker Make-Ahead Scrambled Eggs |
 |
| Creamy Cheese Grits |
 |
| Zucchini Bread |
 |
| That sour cream sauce for the fruit was a fantastic topper for the French toast. |
