I have heard it used without "with" (and used it myself) as in "we will take supper later tonight." I prefer the simple verbs for the meals: breakfast, lunch, dine, sup. Not that I use them ordinarily. That's a little stilted even for me. The AHD doesn't give "brunch" as a verb. I think it's time we started using it in that way! Charlie
