Recipe - Review Of Country Life Brunch (Boston)

Text file

Last Sunday my 4yo and I had brunch at Country Life in Boston. It seemed a
little disorganized (I couldn't figure out the logistics at first) but the
food was pretty good. I asked about fat content and was given a fairly
thorough oil content summary. The person with whom I spoke claimed they
are very conscious of using as little oil as possible, waffles & french
toast have no oil and 1tsp of oil total used for their (rather good)
strawberry rhubarb tart crust. They also had other baked goods which he
said was low fat (I didn't press for details since I had enough other
things to eat), a hot apple cobbler (w/no added oil topping), a delicious
frozen fruit drink, steamed brocolli, plain rice, eggplant/tofu lasagna
(not too heavy on the tofu), a curry(?) tofu dish (not lowfat
unfortunately), a small salad bar (w/a delicious NF garlic & red cabbage
dressing), two soups, etc. etc. My 4yo ate tons of fresh fruit cocktail.
For one adult & one child, it was $12. (If you want real coffee you have
to bring your own, which I saw others doing).

I forgot to ask about soy milk use though, so perhaps next person to go can
ask about that?

BTW Does anyone have suggestions for a REALLY NICE brunch place? My husband
is planning on taking me out for Mother's Day to the Harbour Hotel, which
has a great buffet but seems very $$$ for the amount of food I can eat
there :( I wasn't sure how he would take my suggestion of going someplace
else but he was surprisingly amenable (he even said how about a vegetarian
place !!!), but I don't think he really wants to eat scrambled tofu and we
also want to go someplace a bit dressup. I've been calling places but so
far I haven't come up with anything clearly better. Has anyone been to
Cornucopia? They suggested on the phone fruit platters & salads, which
makes me a bit wary :(
