Honestly, Brunch Is Ridiculous, Just Leave It To Breakfast And Lunch

Breakfast is breakfast and lunch is lunch. They are not the same thing.

Honestly, Brunch Is Ridiculous, Just Leave It To Breakfast And Lunch
@twohandsnyc

Brunch is a time of mid-morning around 10-11 where breakfast and lunch foods are served together. It is for the person that sleeps in late or wants to spend money on a glorified breakfast or lunch depending on if it's 10 or 11. In my book, there have always been three set meals. You eat eggs, french toast, pancakes, or biscuit-type foods. For lunch, foods are soups, salads, sandwiches. Lunch starts at 11 because that's when restaurants open for lunch. These places don't serve breakfast then.

Brunch is essentially an expensive, glorified breakfast or lunch.

I have only ever been to an official brunch one time. It was at this fancy resort in Utah on New Year's day. The food that was served was food beyond my pallet or didn't mix well. I don't find eating an omelet with bacon and potatoes to go well with roasted cornish hens and wild game chili. The serve the extremes fo super expensive fancy lunch foods with simple breakfast dishes.

If you have ever considered what comes to mind first when you think of breakfast most of them are sweet. These foods are just not made to eat with one another. Breakfast and lunch should be sperate as they are meant to be.

Brunch is often also an excuse to serve some form of alcohol for breakfast. Like what happened to drink at 5 o clock at night, not 10 o clock in the morning? What good does it do for you to start drinking that early? That's just an extra level of fancy.

Breakfast and lunch are also different in the heaviness of food. By this, I mean that breakfast is made to be protein-rich foods that hold you over until lunchtime. I feel it is unnatural for you to eat lunch and breakfast together for the purpose to hold you over until dinner at around 6. Breakfast and dinner are the largest meals of the day and lunch is meant to be a carryover meal. By combining these two meals you are confusing your body and will ultimately lead to me snacking.

To sum it up brunch is essentially useless and confusing. It doesn't make sense and it costs more money. I'll just leave it at breakfast as breakfast and lunch as lunch.

beer on the beach

Summer is hot and humid, and it's almost like summer was made specifically to drink the refreshing, cold, crisp wonderful, delicious, nutritious nectar of the gods. Which is none other than beer; wonderful cold beer. With summer playing peek-a-boo around the corner while we finish up this semester, it's time to discuss the only important part of summer. And if you haven't already guessed, it's beer. There are few things I take more seriously than my beer, in order are: sports... and beer. Here are my favorite summer brews:

Bruce Springsteen's Top 7 Lyrics

Everything Bruce says in his classic rock songs.

Anyone who was born and raised in New Jersey (or anywhere really) knows of Bruce Springsteen, whether or not they like him is a whole other situation. I hope that his hundreds of classic rock songs and famous high energy performances, even in his sixties he can put on better concerts than people half his age, are at least recognizable to people of all ages. Love him or hate him (I identify with the former) you have to admit that some of his songs and interviews have inspirational quotes and lyrics.

New England Summers Are The BEST Summers

Why you should spend your next summer in New England.

Marconi Beach

Three years ago, I chose to attend college in Philadelphia, approximately 360 miles away from my small town in New Hampshire. I have learned many valuable lessons away from home, and have thoroughly enjoyed my time spent in Pennsylvania. One thing that my experience has taught me, however, is that it is absolutely impossible to beat a New England summer.

You cannot beat the beach. Believe it or not (which many people may not), New England has a long and beautiful coastline. Most of my high school summers were spent sitting on the Wall at Hampton Beach, getting sunburnt and eating Acai bowls from The Secret Spot. The Wall was the place to be both during the day and at night. We begin our days there with a KB's bagel and coffee, and end them with pizza and ice cream. It’s not a New England summer without that 4 p.m. text from someone, “Who wants to meet at the Wall tonight?” Nighttime is for Tripoli’s Pizza, the sound of waves, and wishes on shooting stars. Wednesday nights are especially important, as those are the nights that Hampton Beach sets off the weekly firework display.
