Bread in the Morning (for lazy people)

In the first few days of autumn the new morning chill makes it even harder to get out of bed at 6am. Solution: make bread in the the morning. The warm, toasty smell wakes me up almost as well as coffee (there's also the threat of burned bread if you don't retrieve it from the oven). But doesn't bread take forever to make? Not really. I've been using the artisan bread in five minutes a day recipes for about a year, which entails making a large batch of wet dough, and then keeping it around in the refrigerator and tearing off hunks whenever it's time to make bread. Honestly, I don't even measure the ingredients any more (which is VERY BAD, I know, but it makes you feel like a kitchen cowboy/girl).

Brunch at Most!

I love brunch. To me, it's the perfect meal. A little salty, a little sweet, and very decadent with the addition of a champagne cocktail. You can get dressed up to go to brunch, take your time, eat breakfast and dessert.
Most is one of my favorite restaurants in Budapest, partly for their brunch menu. "Most" means "now" in Hungarian, and it's certainly a trendy spot."Now" does not describe the service. It is slow. Do not come here if you are in a hurry. The moderately priced brunch specials are only available on the weekends, and they include a main course, a drink, and a dessert. Here's a picture of the inside:
