You don’t have to agree with me when I say breakfast meals are the best ones of the day. Because there are no laws or rules that say you can’t be wrong anytime you choose to be. Breakfast meals are part of some of my fondest memories in life. My earliest recollections include smelling what I call my BET breakfast. Bacon, Eggs, and Toast. … Read the rest…
Maybe you have some in your house right now. Or, at the very least, you’ve had it at some point or seen it in somebody else’s house at some point in your life.
