Inhale deeply. Do you smell it? No, the aroma of bacon and eggs cannot be transmitted electronically. Boy, if there's anything that can induce appetite for me, it's this particular breakfast menu. However, due to the somewhat abnormal hours my father keeps during shift work, we are not having this meal in the morning. No, it is 5:30pm. Dinnertime. Bacon, eggs, coffee and orange juice. It may seem odd to some. It may seem normal to others. I suppose that we're used to eating breakfast for dinner.

Bacon and eggs. It may be all in a day's work for the chicken, but it's a lifetime commitment for the pig. :)

Most of the time we have pancakes when Daddy works nights. I don't like pancakes. They're sticky and you have to drink milk to keep them from sticking to the roof of your mouth. Then there's the maple syrup. Is there a way to get syrup that's not so sweet? I don't know.

Then there are the really fun nights when Dad orders a sub or something from the deli and the rest of us eat whatever. Those are fondly called "fend for yourself" nights by all the immediate family members. I think the only rule for those nights is that you can't have a bowl of icecream and call it dinner. It's the only night I look forward to doing dishes. (Maybe that's too strong. I'm never real eager to do them.)

    Yipee! I love breakfast for dinner! Especially if it includes bluberry pancakes (ask me about it:-)) and Cinnimon Toast Crunch cereal. What fun!

    I too love breakfast for dinner, but I have to disagree with your assessment of pancakes - I think they're delicious!
    Hurrah for breakfast!

    I suppose if I had put a picture on of my breakfast/dinner, this would have invoked an even longer discussion? Just wondering...

    So richleau, what about these pancakes? I love having breakfast for dinner, but certain people aren't pleased when I desire to make pancakes, I can't imagine why... But my personal favorite is French Toast.

    One way to get syrup not so sweet: mix half syrup with half plain or vanilla yogurt. Result: creamy, tangy sauce that is super delicious. I don't like plain syrup as it soaks into the pancakes and stickies them right up :)

Sounds like some kind of sports thing, but in reality, the ShugaBowl is just a little hideaway for me, Sugarcube herself, to let loose my thoughts and occasional creativeness.
