Nothing says Sunday Afternoon like an oversize pitcher of Bloody Marys.

The Table.

The Bookworms convened recently at Jen Lazzaro's Swag Pad for a scrumptious brunch and scintillating discussion of the month's selection, Too Much Happiness by Alice Munro. Cafe Drake loved the collection of stories, the company gathered and the hearty but elegant spread rolled out for brunch: cinnamon raisin toast with homemade rhubarb preserves, fresh strawberries, spicy Bloody Marys, bone-dry Cab Franc, super-good wraps of Jen's special "honey and salt brined" fried chicken with carrot chutney and arugula, arugula and cilantro salad and a creamy sweet potato frittata with sage leaves.
