Can I come over the next time you make French Toast? Sounds yummy! 
Absolutely correct. And what makes waffles the ideal delivery system is the fact that they come with those holes (indentations, really), each of which must be filled with syrup. Belgian waffles, with the bigger indentations, rule.

Porridge (or any of it’s cousins: oatmeal, cream of wheat/rice etc) must be served with butter and brown sugar.
Yum!
I made French Toast this morning with 2 eggs, a 1/4 or so of heavy cream (want to use it before it spoils), cinnamon, and vanilla. Fry in a light coating of butter on a cast iron griddle. Spread with butter, pour on the syrup and consume! Heaven!
I love Cream of Rice! Do they even make it anymore? I can’t find it anywhere!

Breakfast has to be sweet. Non-sweet breakfast items are an abomination.

My feeling about breakfast is that regardless of what it IS, I don’t want it too early. I can’t even LOOK at food too early in the morning. I want coffee and cigarettes for an hour or so, and then I’ll think about eating. I can go for either sweet or salty, but generally not both. If I’m having eggs, I’ll salt & pepper the hell out of them, and of course bacon and hash browns are must-haves. But if pancakes or French Toast are involved, they have to be drowning in syrup. I’m willing to make an exception for dipping sausage in syrup, but other than that, it’s got to be one or the other.

Then I guess you won’t be coming to one of my favorite “lasagna breakfasts” anytime soon, huh? (I’m serious! Left-over lasagna is my absolute favorite breakfast!)

Catsup is just way to strong for breakfast, with only one exception: hash browns (I’m talking about one of yesterday’s leftover bakers chopped up on the griddle with a little onion & poppy seed- not those compressed deep fried units that McDonalds sells), and even then I would opt for sour cream before resorting to Catsup.
Catsup is a no-no for breakfast for the same reason I dislike morning OJ: the acid fights the taste of my sweet coffee, waffles, toast français, jellied toast, and sweet fruits or melons. Kind of like drinking wine with a vinegrette salad, if you can imagine.
evil, Yeah, you can find it but it’s hard. I couldn’t find it at all when I lived down south (Tennessee). Want me to send you a couple boxes? It’s pretty cheap. Email me your address and I’ll stick 'em in the mail. I’m going grocery shopping tomorrow or Saturday.
Beth, wow! Good guess, huh? I just looked at your profile and saw you’re IN Tennessee.
Do you work for Columbia Health Care in Nashville or its environs?
No, I work for Mountain States Health Alliance in Johnson City. (I think they used to be part of Columbia–or maybe that was the other hospital chain…oh well!)
I will send you my address right away!
