Asparagus quiche with brushetta topping

Question for all the mothers out there: Do you want Mother’s Day breakfast in bed? The popular vote says no thank you. Apparently, this tradition dates back to the 1930s when American media suggested that children serve breakfast in bed to their moms. Personally, I’d welcome a lovingly made, hand-delivered bedside brew, but keep the food in the kitchen where it belongs. Don’t get me wrong, I do have sweet memories of my two young kids carrying breakfast into the room with their smiling proud faces peering over the tray. But that time has passed, and luckily it was before I became a coffee drinker. Today, eating in bed would totally mess up my routine of slowly savoring my morning coffee and letting the day soak in before I think about breakfast.
