Breakfast of Champions




In a typical American household, this would not be served at breakfast. Fried bologna sandwich.
As the schoolyear starts, one would see a proliferation of commercials on TV about PBJ (peanut butter and jelly) sandwiches, bologna sandwiches, "lunchables"--- suggestions on what to pack into lunch boxes for the school-agers.
Not having grown up in America, I had no qualms about making Mary a bologna sandwich for breakfast when she asked for it. After all, in the Philippines, we eat hotdogs, mini hamburgers, fried fish, leftover "ulam" (main dish) with pan de sal (mini bread rolls) or fried rice as our first meal of the day. Protein, carbohydrates--- breakfast of champions!
When I first cooked hotdogs for breakfast for myself and Jack, he was surprised AND did not eat the hotdogs.
Grilled cheese sandwich--- another one that is NOT a typical American breakfast item. But, toast and cheese??? I say, that's breakfast!


Bologna face


P.S. Mary only ate half of the sandwich for breakfast and I wrapped up the rest to take in her lunch box (which she had at snacktime- she only goes to morning kindergarten.) Oh, and the bread was whole-grain and I fried the bologna with no added oil.
