Easter brunch at home with Mabel Watson Payne. She learned the word
brunch as a scrunched-together form of
breakfast and
lunch. It pleased Mabel to understand about brunch. Daddy made an abundance of thin delicate pancakes. There were excellent strawberries and deviled eggs and meats and other things. Grandma provided the traditional Easter egg cookies, which always come from the Virginia Bakery in Berkeley and have remained their same excellent unchanged selves for my daughter's entire lifetime. She has rarely known an Easter without their presence.
