The football playoffs are about to begin. It may be a good
idea to lay a brunch foundation for all of the revelry and couch coaching
ahead. We are going to Sunday brunch at the Galileo Club in Richmond
California. My application was recently put in for an associate membership. I
have been accepted and only have to attend the business meeting to make it
official. I can only apply for an associate membership even though I love
pasta, Dean Martin and grew up in the Rockridge District an Italian
neighborhood. My heritage is not Italian but I am privileged and honored to be
accepted as an associate member. We now have dining privileges and will be
partaking in Sunday brunch.
The Galileo Club was founded in 1932 in Richmond
California. Richmond has seen better days. During World War II this neighborhood thrived
with its ship building community. The building is plain except for its marquee
sign and Italian colors but once inside you are amazed at the beauty and warmth of this social
club. There are two large halls with bars, amenities and even several bocce
ball courts. Then there is the main dining hall where the food action happens.
Let the brunch begin.
What a spread we have today. Eggs, bacon, sausage, ham,
pancakes, potatoes, mimosas, and even a special station for biscuits & gravy
were available. Now that is what I am talking about. There was a very special
station of home baked goods made by the women’s auxiliary. Cakes, cookies and
my all-time favorite, biscotti made for many choices. I had to use restraint
with all this great food. I did grab a piece of fruit to make this a healthy meal. This was the
perfect way to start out a football Sunday. Look out couch, here I come.

Mr Brown, all I care about was the gravy good and can you get a bucket of gravy? Okay I lied we're the biscuits any good? GWH
greatwhite hunter, yes, freshly baked, fluffy light most tender biscuits ever with as much gravy as your bucket could hold was the order. And they were even better for the second and third helping.
Rib stickin good! Nap time :)
Greg, I awoke from my biscuits and gravy coma just in time for football.
