All of my life, I've been told that breakfast is the most important meal of the day. Well, today there's some controversy over this: some say it's not really important to eat something after you wake up, others say to put off breakfast, and others say, well, go for it!
Growing up, we had breakfasts that were basically like everyone else's except on Saturday mornings and holidays. Cereal, maybe we made ourselves some toast. But on Saturdays and holidays, breakfasts were something! Oatmeal wasn't just oatmeal. Pancakes weren't just pancakes.
