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.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
