Breakfast Rules

We love us some breakfast here at MEvBLOG. Everyone knows it's the most important meal of the day as it has everything great about all foods in one meal: meats, cheeses, fruits and carbs. (Oh Lordy, those sweet, sweet carbs!)

Also, there's no other meal acceptable to enjoy in pajamas.

When we were kids - and "blogging" was a word adults would have assumed had an inappropriate connotation - we wanted breakfast for every meal. Eventually our mom created a supper hybrid to placate us. She'd simply make breakfast for dinner and call it a "Breakfast-Dinner."

(Our love of literary creativity only snowballed from there.)

Later it was discovered that "Breakfast-Dinner" was her way of creatively stretching the grocery budget. And we were fine with that.

Like all meals, breakfast is okay when eaten, but best when experienced and there are many places in Southeast Texas to have such an experience. (For some great suggestions, CLICK HERE)

However, my favorite recent breakfast-related experience has to come in the form of "The Breakfast Song," in the video below. Watch as Minister Cleo Clariet and his fiancé Katherine Lanesing "The Breakfast Song" on a morning show in Tupelo, Mississippi. Hilarity will ensue and, then, so will the breakfast cravings.

Fun post...I love breakfast! I don't remember having that passion as a child. As an adult however, I think it represents a freedom on the mornings when I get to enjoy a real breakfast. A break from the busyness of life!

Enjoying your blog!

RE: "B"

I totally agree. Always nice when I can take the time and not have to shovel it in my mouth as I'm running out the door.

Thanks for reading!

breakfast for dinner = both delicious and economical

that video = both frightening and hilarious

Funny, i have my own song:

"Breakfast is great! Make me a plate!"

repeat
and repeat
and repeat

sometimes there is even a dance that goes along with it (in pjs of course!)

RE: ryan
I = Agreement. On both.

RE: JMCK
I'm saddened that there's no video comment feature so you could share that dance with us.

This couple appeared on that show in 2004 and 6 months later, Minister Clariet died of Congenital heart disease. Ms. Lane was not aware that this song was even on the internet until 2 weeks ago. At first, I laughed at this song but after hearing all the new details, I couldn't laugh anymore.
