Who doesn't love Sunday brunch?

A couple of weekends ago, we were invited, along with some other friends, over to Petra's apartment for a Sunday brunch. Petra had told us not to worry about bringing anything, that it would mostly be cold things, like fruit, cheese, and bread, and that she would have no trouble putting it together on her own. So, we were expecting something simple.

Well, here's what we saw when we arrived...

...Amazing, huh? I mean, her presentation was just so gorgeous. I totally felt inspired to do more with my presentation the next time we host something. Petra made for us: fruit salad, fresh squeezed orange juice, scrambled eggs, sweet potato and ginger soup, chilled roasted duck slices, beef and ham rolls with seasoned cream cheese, tomato and mozarella skewers, and additionally served us all sorts of fresh breads, cheeses, and meats. Plus, for dessert she made us red wine cake (her specialty) and tiramisu--by far the best we've ever tasted! I managed to convince her to share the recipe, so if you want it just send me an e-mail. :)
