I was planning a last minute brunch to fulfill our friend Barry's request. Since it has been so gorgeous in the South Bay, I wanted to do a picnic brunch potluck. I sent out an email to our friends and almost everyone replied saying that they will be watching the games. I did not realize it was a big day for football.
