What is your favorite breakfast?

A bowl of cereal?

The word cereal derives from Ceres, the name of the Roman goddess of harvest and agriculture. Cold cereal is largely an American invention, but its popularity has spread throughout the world.

Some YUMMY waffles?

Waffles were first introduced to North America in 1620, by pilgrims who brought the method from Holland. Thomas Jefferson brought a waffle iron from France, and waffle frolics or parties became popular in the late eighteenth century. Waffles were eaten with both sweet (molasses or maple syrup) and savory (such as kidney stew) toppings.

Blueberry Pancakes!

The first pancake-type foods were eaten by ancient peoples, and were not the same pancakes we eat today. The simple, fried concoctions of milk, flour, eggs and spices were called "Alita Dolcia" (Latin for "another sweet") by the Ancient Romans.

Depending upon the proportion of ingredients and method of cooking, the finished product might have approximated pancakes, fritters, omlettes, or custard. Some of these dishes were sweet (fruit, nuts, honey); others were savory (cheese, fish, meat). These ancient recipes are also thought to be the relatives of waffles, cakes, muffins, fritters, spoonbread and doughnuts. Pancakes, as we Americans know them today, were "invented" in Medieval Europe.

Eggs Benedict, true indulgence

There are differing accounts as to the origin of Eggs Benedict.

In an interview in the "Talk of the Town" column of The New Yorker in 1942, the year before his death, Lemuel Benedict, a retired Wall Street stock broker, claimed that he had wandered into the Waldorf Hotel in 1894, hoping to find a cure for his morning hangover, and ordered "buttered toast, poached eggs, crisp bacon and hollandaise". Oscar Tschirky, the maître d'hôtel and legendary "Oscar of the Waldorf", was so impressed with the dish that he put it on the breakfast and luncheon menus, but substituted ham and a toasted English muffin for the bacon and toast.

Craig Claiborne, in September 1967, wrote a column in The New York Times Magazine about a letter he had received from Edward P. Montgomery, an American then residing in France. In it, Montgomery related that the dish was created by Commodore E.C. Benedict, a banker and yachtsman, who died in 1920 at the age of 86. Montgomery also included a recipe for eggs Benedict, stating that the recipe had been given to him by his mother, who had received it from her brother, who was a friend of the Commodore.
 

Breakfast-Burrito-Large

Breakfast Burritos, some pan-fried potatoes and eggs sunny side up!

Southwestern cuisine, New Mexican cuisine in particular, has popularized the breakfast burrito. An entire American breakfast can be wrapped inside a 15-inch flour tortilla, accompanied by field-fresh, often very hot, green chile. Southwestern breakfast burritos may include scrambled eggs, potatoes, onions, chorizo, guisado, or bacon. Tia Sophia's, a Mexican café in Santa Fe, New Mexico, claims to have invented the original breakfast burrito in 1975, filling a rolled tortilla with bacon and potatoes, served wet with chili and cheese.

The WORKS!

Many regions of the U.S.A. have local breakfast specialties that are less popular nationally. In the South, homemade biscuits served with country-style gravy (also called sawmill gravy), country ham and red eye gravy and grits are one traditional breakfast menu.

The Southwest has huevos rancheros and spicy breakfast burritos; scrapple is a favorite in the Mid-Atlantic states; pork roll is rarely available outside New Jersey and Philadelphia; and New Englanders still occasionally indulge in fried salt-pork, and pie. Specialty sausages also vary in popularity regionally, such as linguiça in Hawaii and southern New England, andouille in Louisiana, and chorizo in the Southwest.

Good morning, hon (((HUGS)))

WOW! never hear of an Italian Omelet.

Obviously, most of us shouldn't eat our favorite every day. I know don't.

I'm back home. The city golf program is pretty much in three parts. The first part (which we actually missed, so we're doing the second session) is in the park on the baseball fields (because it's flat, I guess) and they bring practice equipment. A few years back, we did a second part on a driving range. My son was doing okay. My daughter was doing great -- she hit one past the "75" marker, which I'm sure is feet and not yards, but still nice. But she hates golf and won't go back.

When kids advance enough, they play on a local golf course. They even have tryouts there. Last year, there were girls from Bishop Kearny High School there who looked like they were from the school golf team. Who knew that they even had a golf team. Not back in my day, that's for sure.

My oldest son takes his 13 y.o. daughter to the golf course with him sometimes as she likes to learn. Not sure if they “actually” play.

Nope, no Double-T around to my knowledge. That’s definitely one omelet you could eat anytime of the day. I’ll keep this in mind if we ever run across an Italian Omelet on a menu.

Oh, yeah, like I'm supposed to believe that you're old enough to have a son that has a 13-yr-old daughter! Ha! Good one.

But it's good for her to learn to play golf for the same reason that I wish my daughter would take it up again: golfing scholarships. Believe it or not, there are a lot of them available out there and not enough girls to apply for them all. Granted that's changing, so they need to learn now.

It'll also help in business later on. I would've gone farther and might not have been laid off in 2001 had I been a regular on the golf course.

Unfortunately, you’re right. Locations are Catonsville, Perry Hall, White Marsh, Bel Air, Ellicott City, Pasadena, Annapolis and Frederick. I’m right between the Catonsville and Ellicott City locations.

Golfing scholarships? Didn't know that. I'll have to remember to ask if they know it.

And, hey, don't bug that daughter of yours to take up golfing. She needs to find her "thing."

Oh, please explain this to me....It'll also help in business later on. I would've gone farther and might not have been laid off in 2001 had I been a regular on the golf course.

Hate to say this, but I’m somewhat European. I like “Continental” style — croissants, coffee, juice, & more coffee.

Oh, she's found her "thing". It has something to do with the mall and my empty wallet...

Well, now. I'd say she's growing like a typical girl. LOL. Might even be cheaper than some of the fees a parent has to pay for a sport, huh?
