Blizzard Home Brunch with help from S&S, Cambridge, MA

Last weekend, right after Xmas, there was a pretty strong blizzard messing up Brunch plans for all Brunchers in the Northeast. That's why Ani and I decided to stay home and prepare our own, with a little help. We did not feel like anything too heavy, so we did away with the Eggs, and decided that it was a Bagel and Lox kind of day. So, off I ran to S&S, through the snow, mind you, to get our fix and bring home the bounty. S&S is an Inman Sq. institution. Although we go there often enough, there has not been a posting in this blog about this establishment (although we have posted some thoughts on its sister restaurant, Ryles). That is why I won't go into the details of describing S&S (or its menu) thoroughly. I'll save that for a future posting. Let it just be said that S&S is THE jewish deli in Cambridge and probably in the whole of Boston (some people claim they have some competition from Zaftigs in Coolidge Corner). This is the place to go to get Lox and Bagels.

Armed with a healthy portion of fish and two Bagels (one sesame, one everything) I went back home, where freshly brewed hawaiian coffee, OJ and warm scones (courtesy of our friend Jenni) were waiting for me. Fortunately, we also had some home made cranberry jam, a project of Ani's that put to good use the fresh berries  that came with our box of vegetables from our CSA. All in all, it was a great experience and a fun way to stay warm and away from the snow, while not giving up our Brunch rights.
