Sunchokes are in season and one of my favorite vegtables.
Because of their irregular shape, peeling sunchokes is time consuming. It's worth it, though, to unlock their sweet, nutty, earthy flavor.
Making sunchoke soup. Saute the peeled sunchokes until they are caramelized. Add onions, sweat. Cover with chicken or vegetable stock and simmer until chokes are tender. Puree, pass, and finish with heavy cream or 1/2 & 1/2.
Making a frisee frittata. I love frisee because it has a bitter bite. It's good in a frittata.
The finished fritatta. You gotta have eggs at brunch.
The spread:
- Sunchoke soup
- Bagels and lox
- Frisee frittata with pimenton aioli
- Arugula salad dressed with old balsamico and olio verde EVO
- Waffles with macerated strawberries and Blis maple syrup
- Crepes filled with nutella and bananas

Samson gets started on his PhD. It makes sense that Mom is a psychologist.
Sarah has a quiet moment to eat (Sammy is off with Mike, exploring the bedroom).
Still life of the bar area.
Victor feeds Maddy smoked salmon, which she happily devours. The girl likes to eat!

Sammy hams it up, again!
