Verve is a spacious wine bar in Columbia City, tucked around the corner from more visible eateries like Jones Barbecue and Geraldine’s Counter. I’d been there once or twice before shortly after they’d opened but for one reason and another hadn’t been back. Until this week I didn’t know they do a weekend brunch. Since this happens to be my first Kate-free weekend since before Christmas, it occurred to me that it would be a swell time to try out the brunch.
We were not disappointed. In fact, we were quite thrilled with the results of our excursion. For about $5 more than we would have spent on a satisfactory breakfast at Geraldine’s Counter we had a spectacular breakfast at Verve. I’ll take that for a fiver!
It was also the first time I got some decent shots in with the camera we got as a Christmas gift, so I hope this will mean a return to my food blogging in 2009. I do so enjoy the food blogging.
Just for the record, I quite enjoy the food blogging as well.

Same here. Glad to see it returning.

You and Nicole have the cutest pet names for each other…
You just about made me snork my Malbec with that one, Kenson!
You should hear what we call you.

I read this post. I look at your pictures on Flickr. I get all excited. I run to the kitchen and find that I am out of eggs.
I rue.
