W.A. Frost, friends, and the Oscars

As I sit and watch the pre-Oscars show, I have to admit I have never watched the actual Oscars. Is that shallow? I'm only in it for the dresses. I am watching the ABC coverage and I have to say it is tolerable. At least no one is gropping Scarlette Johansson's breasts. Which is just never a good thing.

Today I took time out from homework and other cruelties to have brunch with our friends. The six of us live within a five block area but don't get to see each other nearly enough. There is no better way to start a snowy Sunday than brunch with good friends. The conversation always flows. Movies, politics, and lots of food talk. We are all different in the best ways possible, but can agree on one thing: the more desserts included in a buffet, the better.

Speaking of brunch, one piece of advice: skip W.A. Frost. We made reservations last week for their fabulous buffet. Got there, ordered our coffee, settled in, then went to hit the buffet line. Except, no buffet! They decided to "try something new" by only offering entrees. No joke. Except they neglected to say so on their web site. For his part, the poor kid that waited on us offered his apologies in a well memorized speech and comped our coffee. Off we went to Dixies, which not only had a buffet, but it included, get this: A CHOCOLATE FOUNTAIN! Happy Sunday indeed.
