Brewster

Brunch at The Arch

I headed up to Brewster with my parents Sunday morning to see relatives. We were off to meet Mark, David and David's mom Janet. My parents hadn't seen Janet yet and it was a nice to drive up. We spent some time at their home, which was lovely and happily situated on a large lot with rolling green lawns and trees. Both David and Janet looked great since I saw them last, losing significant weight with exercise and good eating habits. We headed just right around the corner to a nice home turned into a country restaurant, The Arch. We had a leisurely meal starting with a creamy cauliflower soup with apple garnish. I had the beef stroganoff while others leaned to seafood selections. Mark enjoyed his salmon in orange sauce. Mom and Janet had crab and lobster cakes while David and Dad had scallops. The real gem of the meal was their soufflés. Mom and I had the coconut while David and Janet had the raspberry. We all loved them, airy yet flavorful with added cream to savor the pockets of baked light egg flavor. Yum. It was great seeing the family and connecting after all these years.
