Its funny some of the recipes that get handed down through generations.

[BIGLOOK]

Growing up in farm country, my Grandfather made breakfast for us kids while we stayed over to help with the chores.

He made the same thing every morning at 0400. Oatmeal with butter and real maple syrup, coffee (milk for the kids), toast and jam. He also had a shot of Rye whiskey with his coffee (more milk for the kids).

Then we'd all go out and milk the cows, slop the pigs and collect the eggs.

When we got through, Grandma would have bacon and eggs and toast ready for us, sometimes pancakes too. Then we'd all go out again to split wood for an hour or two for grandpa's project.

Knew from a young age where all the food came from......always wondered where the whiskey came from.
