Be the sexy hostess this holiday and host brunch in lingerie. That might be a bit too much but this candy cane Striped Slip Gown from La Perla will make you feel like Mrs Clause.

On another note, if it weren't for old school hip hop, there wouldn't be any trap music.

Remember the lyric's from the Notorious B.I.G.'s song "Big Poppa?"

Well, if you are planning on a White Christmas, you may really be trapped up in the trap house. This means that somebody's got to cook. And if you need to nurse a hangover, then someone needs to cook a Big Poppa Brunch.

The Notorious B.I.G. gave us the ultimate brunch menu in his song, "Big Poppa":

So we can steam all the way to the telly, go fill my belly A T-bone steak, cheese eggs and Welch's grape.

This a popular menu for breakfast. And Food Network host Sunny Anderson included it in her cookbook Sunny's Kitchen. Of course all of Biggie's fans already knew that this is high-end eating.

If you have the Gotham Indoor Smokeless grill, then making this breakfast is going to be even more fun. The steaks can be marinated in this Sicilian Grill Prep Tray from William and Sonoma. Gotham Grill

Big Poppa'a Brunch

For the Steaks

4 T-bone steaks
salt and pepper
1 tbsp of hickory or mesquite liquid smoke
3 tbsp vegetable oil
2 sprigs of rosemary, cut in half

Directions:

Season the steaks. Arrange the steaks in a dish, sprinkle with a pinch of salt and a few grinds of pepper on each side, sprinkle evenly with liquid smoke, and drizzle with the oil. Nestle the rosemary beneath the steaks and let them rest on the counter (or in marinade prep tray) at room temperature for 2 hours, turning them half-way through to infuse both sides with rosemary. (NOTE: steaks can be made the night before)
Grill the steaks. Preheat a grill or grill pan to high heat. Remove the steaks from the dish, discard the rosemary, and place the steaks on the grill. Cook for 5 minutes on both sides for medium rare. Remove from grill, and allow to rest under loosely fitted aluminum foil for 10 minutes before serving.

For the Eggs

8 eggs
2 tbsp butter
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
salt and pepper

Directions:

Make the eggs. In a large bowl, vigorously whisk the eggs and add a splash of water, nothing more than a tablespoon. Melt the butter in a large nonstick pan over low heat but do not let it brown. Add the eggs, cook, using a whisk the entire time to release cooked egg from the bottom and sides of the pan while incorporating the uncooked egg. When the eggs are still wet but almost done, 5-6 minutes, remove from the heat. Add half the cheese, a pinch of salt, and a few grinds of pepper and continue to whisk until done. Sprinkle remaining cheese on top.
