Sundays in my childhood home meant something delicious for breakfast. Every other day we had cereal or fried eggs, but Sunday was a time to indulge. Dad usually cooked, to give Mom a break, and he tended to do things in phases. There was the slightly overdone omelette phase (possibly to avoid poisoning us with salmonella from raw eggs), then there was the pancake phase (also a shade browner than necessary, but always delicious), then there were a few months of thick, crunchy cinnamon toast. I think we had a bagel phase at some point, and we sadly skipped waffles altogether, probably due to our lack of a waffle iron manufactured after 1952.
