Brunch. Such a positive word, emotion even. It implies waking at your leisure, meeting people you care about and gorging 50% more than a normal meal, because hey it counts as two right? And we all plan to actually burn the calories since we have the entire rest of our day! Well, after the food coma nap. And a House of Cards binge watching session. OK, we'll just burn the calories tomorrow.
