Sunday Morning w/ the French Open

Sunday morning's menu was planned on the drive out earlier Friday. The French Open final was set between two great champions of today; Rafael Nadal and Roger Federer facing off for the 4th time in a row. So, we set out to have a French-style breakfast for the start of the match. We began with Champagne cocktails and made crepes with nutella, fresh bananas and blueberries, which turned out perfectly. Unfortunately, Nadal ended up wiping the court with Federer to win his fourth French Open in a row, cementing himself as one of the greatest clay court players of all time.

The rest of Sunday was a usual wind down day, throwing a frisbee around for a bit, with others leaving periodically while a few of us delayed our inevitable return back to the city. We had plans to watch the second game of the Lakers-Celtics series and then drive back around 11pm to avoid traffic, but we did not expect or plan for the incredible lightening storm that would pass through and cut-out power to our house, as well as 25+ thousand others across eastern long island. By candlelight we ate a simple dinner, cleaned up around the dark house and left the barren neighborhood to head home.
