Brunch at Tuscany

June 1, 2009

Mal and I ended our Mohegan getaway with a relaxing brunch at Todd English’s Tuscany. I’m so glad that we enjoyed a leisurely meal instead of grabbing food on the road. I wanted our vacation to last as long as possible!

Right away, I ordered a cup of coffee with cream. However, I wish my request hadn’t been so impulsive because I wasn’t really in the mood for coffee and barely drank any of it.

Maybe I needed some coffee! I look half asleep in this pic. (I’m also not wearing any make-up.) :-?

Mal gets cranky when he is hungry. His “evil” face cracked me up!

The brunch menu at Tuscany was impressive with its unique-sounding dishes and interesting flavor combinations. I had a difficult time making a decision!

I finally chose “The Perfect Cure” breakfast flatbread with prosciutto, asparagus, egg, and the most amazing fontina cheese. I’m not sure I’ve ever tasted Fontina, but now I am a huge fan!

The breakfast flatbread totally hit the spot, but I was little disappointment by the quality and quantity of the asparagus, which was overcooked and sparse. :-|

I ate half of the portion served to me and took the rest home for a late lunch.

So, this concludes my Mohegan weekend! I hope you enjoyed reading about it!

looks good! But I always wondered why american portions are so huge!…Whenever I travel over the boarder I swear the portion sizes go up at least by half lol…(I guess the flatbread could be shared) but even other stuff! :)

When I used to eat meat, prosciutto was one of my very favorites. That flatbread makes me wish I still ate it (well, just for a second)!

Aw poor Mal. I get the same way when I’m hungry!

Tuscany looks gorgeous, I love the indoor waterfall.
