Black Friday Brunch
I am hosting a brunch at my house on Black Friday. Has anyone ever been to one of these? Any ideas on menu? activity? It will be adults and young kids (preschool age). Thanks
Re: Black Friday Brunch
On Black Friday, I'm usually one of the crazy people swarming the stores, so I can't say I've ever been to one, but...
Black Friday is usually, for me, when I start jonesing for Christmas flavors. I might consider doing something like gingerbread pancakes or peppermint hot cocoa.
Do you put your holiday decor up on Black Friday? That might be something fun to do with the kids (if you'd be comfortable letting them help).
are you looking to use or avoid the holiday leftovers?
This is my typical brunch menu so here goes.
A spiral ham, caeser salad, quiche (or something else egg-y), bagels, muffins or other sweets, and fruit salad (or some kind of fruit)
I think this works because ham, fruit, quiche are all things that can be breakfast or lunch...and then you have the salad for a strictly lunch thing and the other stuff that is pretty breakfasty.
I hate when people do brunch and it's all breakfast food....to me, it's not brunch then, it's breakfast (and late)
I normally do something like the above menu, but I'm also curious to know if you wanted to use or avoid the leftovers.

Thinking of doing cosmetic updates to a dated home? These were our costs.
I've done this before. I had mini muffins and quick bread with apple butter plus spiced nuts as people arrived then a main meal:
Spinach salad with warm bacon dressing
Sausage balls
Pumpkin cinnamon rolls
Maple-glazed salmon
Sweet potato fries
Veggie quiche
I think I also had pumpkin roll and spice cake for dessert with hot mulled cider.
Something else I can't remember right now. It seems a little scattered but the fall flavors tied it all in while not being redundant with Thanksgiving.

Thanks for all the great menu ideas. I am not opposed to using leftovers at all.
Does anyone have an idea for an activity that we could do? I was thinking of having the kids make an ornament but was looking for something for the adults to do.
Great idea!
