DID YOU KNOW?
MIMOSAS WERE INVENTED IN FRANCE
The very first mimosa is said to have been invented by Frank Meier, a bartender at the Ritz Hotel in Paris, in 1925. He mixed up the drink of equal parts juice and wine, and a brunch staple was born. There is no evidence however that he was the first person to ever mix the drink, so its origins still remain a little mysterious.
THE WORD “MIMOSA” COMES FROM A FLOWER
Because of its vibrant yellow-orange color, the mimosa mixed beverage was named after an equally sunny flower, the mimosa flower, which is native to Central and South America.

Mushroom Pomponnettes.
This simple, tasty appetizer originated, I think, with Daniel Boulud -- but there are probably dozens of variations. It is, essentially, a little mushroom and cheese quiche. I have served this as part of a Sunday brunch, as a dinner appetizer, and as a side dish.
