Cranberry-walnut Rainforest crisps.

Half a sliced honeycrisp.

A few slices of Asiago.

Breakfast with your brother sounds like a good way to start the weekend. I'm sure you'll have a good time.

My brother is a witty inventor who makes his money being a landlord. But he is always inventing things to outwit the jerks in life. Right now he is working on a laser pointer that will turn off the lights of neighbors who put up those too-bright security lights that shine on your patio and ruin a good time.

One time he invented a remote switch to turn off the washing machines that were not be used in his apartment building after 10 p.m. Offending tenants who failed to factor in the 10 p.m. deadline would go down to get their laundry and find out it was going to soak all night because the electricity to that machine had been switched off.

He had a problem with his tenants claiming their pipes iced up so he invented a thermometer that recorded the temperature to where the landlord's responsibility ended. It was documented so the temp could be printed out, hour by hour. Then when they tried to get him to pay for their pipes icing up, he was able to document it was their fault for not using a heating tape or whatever needed to be done to prevent that situation.

He's so funny that when we get off the phone, my sides hurt from laughing. And that's getting only half his jokes because he fires them off so fast I can barely keep up.
