The Birth of Brunch: Where Did This Meal Come From Anyway?

By Alvina Moten-Lacy • July 1, 2018

Some food historians think that the meal has its roots in England’s hunt breakfasts—lavish multi-course meals that featured a smorgasbord of goodies such as chicken livers, eggs, meats, bacon, fresh fruit and sweets. Others posit that Sunday brunch derives from the practice of Catholics fasting before mass and then sitting down for a large midday meal. And then there are those who look to New York’s abundance of dining spots when it comes to tracing the origins of classic brunch dishes from eggs Benedict to bagels and box. But wherever the initial spark of genius came from, the tradition definitely seems to have caught on in the United States in the 1930s, supposedly because Hollywood stars making transcontinental train trips frequently stopped off in Chicago to enjoy a late morning meal . It was a meal championed by hotels since most restaurants were closed on Sundays and, with church attendance flagging after World War II, people were looking for a new social outlet that also let them sleep in a bit. Restaurants soon hopped on the bandwagon and began offering the decadent spreads of food and signature morning cocktails, such as Bloody Marys, Bellinis and Mimosas. “Sunday dinner became important because it was the only time people could eat together as a family unit during the week at the onset of urbanization and industrialization, 150 years ago,” according to Stanford University professor Carl Degler in a 1980 Chicago Tribune article on the rise of America’s brunch culture. He also pointed to another social change that might be responsible for why Sunday brunch became so popular here. “After World War II, large numbers of American married women entered the workforce for the first time. Married women needed a relief on Sunday, too, thus the rise in popularity of Sunday brunch eaten out.” This summer why not enjoy a late this late meal with your family or friends. Whether you're celebrating a special occasion or hosting a get-together "just because," there is always a reason for a beautiful brunch.

LIFE IS A CELEBRATION!

By Alvina Moten-Lacy • June 10, 2018

Six gratitude things you can practice daily: Celebrate your day…before it begins. While your head is still on the pillow, take just a few minutes to scan your inner landscape and identify all the things for which you are grateful, even if it’s just the fact that you are in a warm bed with a roof over your head. Give thanks sincerely and often. Pay attention to the gestures of consideration shown to you throughout the day. Be sure to thank, with meaning, everyone who pays you a kindness. Write l Appreciate the “negatives” in your life. Obstacles and challenges teach us resilience, humility and they allow us to become more capable of overcoming bigger problems. Instead of going ballistic over your neighbor’s barking dog, be grateful for the opportunity to practice patience. Find a gratitude prayer you like and say it often. It does not have to be religious, but it should be recited religiously. Committing your prayer to memory, posting it in places where you will see it often, will remind you to celebrate what you’ve got instead pining for what you don’t. Keep a journal. Don’t like to write? Do something called the “rampage of appreciation.” Think about all the things for which you’re grateful, open your journal, set a timer for one minute and spray the page with anything and everything that comes to mind. Don’t stop until the timer rings. When it’s over, you’ll be amazed at how many blessings belong to you. Count your blessings. Just as you begin your day as a celebration, end it the same way. By focusing on the good things in your life, you reduce mental stress wh. Gladys Bronwyn Stern said: “Silent gratitude isn’t much use to anyone.” Celebrating your life and all that’s in it opens the way for more,but you don’t have to wait for an excuse to party. Go ahead, make some noise! It’s your life we’re celebrating
