We haven&#8217;t seen each other in 3 years so we got to catch up and stuff our pie-holes at the same time. Brunch was at the Hilton in Universal Studios and guess who was at the next table? Gloria Allred. This was some fancy brunch with spectacular displays with food carved into animals. The buffet was huge! I made six trips in this order: 1) omelette bar; 2) carving station; 3) El Salvadoran papusas; 4) barbeque station; 5) fresh fruit; 6) desserts. Wait, it was seven trips &#8211; I went for carnitas and beans, too.\u00a0I know that sounds bad, but we did have to walk to the parking lot. Later, we watched the Academy Awards together and I can&#8217;t have company without serving a little something, so I made crudite, guacamole &amp; chips, deviled eggs, tuna melts &amp; grilled cheese, store-bought California roll, and grapes. I should probably skip my midnight snack. \u00a0Here we are, together again&#8230;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.jennyjones.com\/myblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/02\/EarlJJ.jpg\" target=\"_blank\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-2668\" title=\"Earl&amp;JJ\" src=\"http:\/\/www.jennyjones.com\/myblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/02\/EarlJJ-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.jennyjones.com\/myblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/02\/EarlJJ-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.jennyjones.com\/myblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/02\/EarlJJ.jpg 900w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Here&#8217;s Earl&#8217;s purple yam cake.
