Bunchland

Your Sunday Morning Plan

Vegetable omelets are always a tasty and nutritious brunch choice, but when spring veggies like asparagus are in season, they’re just that much better. And ’round these parts, we’re expected to experience a whole bunch of rain this weekend, might as well take advantage of it.

EAT

Is there anything healthier and tastier than enjoying in-season produce? And how do eggs go so well with so many things! The beauty of omelets is that you can put just about anything in them, but we’re opting for asparagus, mushrooms and spring onions.

You’ll need:  Read more...

• 1/4 cup olive oil
• approx two eggs per person (maybe one egg per small kid)
• two asparagus spears per person
• sliced mushrooms to taste (maybe 1/4 cup each?)
• chopped spring onions to taste (1 Tbsp each?)

Our wettest Bunchbrary yet.

Here at Bunch, we confess we are getting really, really sick of all this rain when we should be well into enjoying our May flowers by now.  So for this week’s Bunchbrary, we reached out to our loyal Bunchlanders to help us dig up some inspiring and optimistic books about rain so we don’t go too squirly.

1. Come on, Rain (1999) by Karen Hesse

A drought-stricken city is suddenly drenched by a powerful rainstorm. The main character, Tessie, gathers her friends to play outside, and they are soon joined by the neighbourhood moms. This is a beautiful book with gorgeously painted illustrations and it is written with such joy, hope and anticipation, it may just make your family look forward to the next downpour.

2. The Happy Rain (1956) by Jack Sendak
