A Good Start for a Good Day

I have to admit, I'm not good about having a sit-down breakfast, at least on weekdays. Typically, I'm running out the door, getting the kids to the school bus and then making my way to work. I do eat breakfast, but it's generally at my desk -- a bowl of oatmeal.

Even as a child, you were more likely to find me seated with a TV tray in the living room eating a bowl of sugary cereal in front of "The Adventures of Superman" or "Bugs Bunny" than sitting down with my family to eggs and bacon.  But I always envied the scenes of families eating breakfast together, such as I'd seen on shows like "Leave it Beaver".


I don't know if that world ever existed.  Even in my day, we had cartoon blobs preaching to us about eating a good breakfast.


And as far back as 1957, the folks at Western Electric, purveyors of telephones, published this booklet on how to have "A Good Start for a Good Day".  Go grab a some breakfast and enjoy.

  2. This is an appropriate post for a 3 day weekend. We will take one of these days to enjoy a full English breakfast.

    1. You're going to have to fill me in on the details, Lady M. I'm not familiar with a full English breakfast.

    2. Well we just finished eating it - Sausage, fried eggs, fried tomatoes, fried bread. You can also have baked beans, fried mushrooms, or English bacon which is not a bit like ours. The English also call this meal a fry up. I wonder why? Add a bit of black sausage (blood sausage) and now it is a full Scottish breakfast. Did you take the advice of your pamphlet and broil the liver from last nights chicken this morning for a tasty breakfast treat?

  3. Wait what? Fish for breakfast? I'm not so sure I could do that all though Tuna and Waffles maybe. As always another fun find.
