Chocolate Covered Sugar Bombs: The Nutritious Breakfast Debate

“Who came up with pancakes?
‘No, Dear, you can’t have cake for breakfast, you can have fried cake with syrup for breakfast.
Load up on that and try not to nap.’”
-Jim Gaffigan
I can remember getting up in the morning to the smells of my father cooking breakfast. One of his favorite ways to break the fast was by cooking blueberry pancakes. He didn’t use just ordinary pancake mix however. Oh, no. That wasn’t good enough. He would fry up blueberry muffin mix into the shape of a pancake. These blueberry monstrosities were then covered in butter and syrup. These things were so thick, so heavy, and so rich that two bites were usually good for me. As a kid, I remember enjoying those first few bites, and then I’d be sorry. A few days later though, I was at the breakfast table awaiting a serving of blueberry muffin-pancake hybrids.
We had BLTs last night for dinner. While there’s nothing extraordinary about a family sitting down for some Bacon, Lettuce, and Tomato action, what was remarkable was the lettuce.
