Here I am, obsessing over my day-after-the-wedding brunch, as I am wont to do. Barring a brunch at IHOP, where I’d obviously vote for the Rooty Tooty Fresh and Fruity (or maybe the Funny Face), I’m sort of lost.

I am having a menu dilemma* since I have decided that with an omelette station, the assigned buffet item of “scrambled eggs” is a bit redundant, because what else is an omelette, if not a variation on scrambled eggs.

Here is the menu as it stands:

Freshly Squeezed Orange and Grapefruit Juice
Seasonal Fresh Fruit with Mixed Berries
***
Herbed Scrambled Eggs
New York Style French Toast
Home Fried Potatoes
Applewood Smoked Bacon and Country Sausage
***
Omelette Station
****
Smoked Salmon Platter
Sliced Onions, Sliced Tomatoes and Capers
***
Baker’s Basket of Bagels, Muffins, Danish and Croissants
Assorted Breads
Toaster
****
Warm Vermont Maple Syrup and Butter
Preserves, Honey and Cream Cheese
****
Starbucks Coffee, Decaffeinated Coffee and Tazo Chai Tea

So now these are the choices to swap in lieu of the scrambleds:

• Quiche
• Frittata
• Fruit Blintzes
• Waffles
• Pancakes

Which do I pick? Are pancakes and waffles too evocative of the french toast already in the buffet? And is a frittata similar to the scrambled eggs i’m trying to lose?

If you could design your dream buffet, what would it include?
