#thefrenemy

This morning I had brunch with one of my best friends ellewcee as well as thefrenemy at Prune, restaurant of Blood, Bones and Butter author Gabrielle Hamilton. We talked about television (a lot about last week’s MasterChef finale), adult relationships, friends, books, and of course, how good our brunch was.

The Frenemy, also known as Don’t Worry, It Gets Worseauthor Alida Nugent, has a new book out this fall: You Don’t Have to Like Me: Essays on Growing Up, Speaking Out, and Finding Feminism. She’s a stellar person as well as a rad writer, and you should read her first book and then preorder this one, out Oct. 20th from Plume.

Pictured above with her book is the classic eggs benedict from Prune and the Southwest bloody maria, with their standard Red Stripe chaser. I can’t resist a benny, and believe me, no one does eggs better than Prune at brunch.
