If you have the notion that you'd enjoy a long, lazy breakfast or brunch with those you love, chances are you're right.

How lovely it is to sleep in on the weekend, then arise and indulge in a long, lazy breakfast or brunch.

As for the menu,  melt-in-your-mouth buttermilk pancakes with real maple syrup, fluffy French toast, golden omelets; and bring on the honey-dripped fruits.

Anything at all that is breakfast-like or lunch-like or even supper-like can quite legally be set upon the table. Make it mellow or spice it up.

So you like Mexican? Try a zippy omelet filled with chilies rellenos and salsa fresca. You want Italian? Consider the Tuscan frittata - easy to prepare for a crowd and traditionally served at room temperature, with a green salad and a good glass of wine.
