Delia's breakfast this morning

[pegkerr]

Chocolate chips, melted in the microwave and spread over a white bread hot dog bun.

*facepalms*

Well, I didn't serve it to her.

It's summer. In summer, my parental responsibilities are:
(1) Don't let anybody kill themselves
(2) Chill out
(3) See (1)

The nag-and-supervise period will return soon enough.

One of my husband's and my favorite lines through nearly 24 years of parenting comes from Rosanne Barr's early days in stand-up: "If the kids are alive when my [spouse] comes home from work, I've done my job."

I'll bet she'd love Kisswiches. This is something they served at the drug store lunch counter when my mother was a teen in Storm Lake, Iowa; I was introduced to them when we went to the Storm Lake Centennial in 1976 and the drug store (which still had a lunch counter) brought them back for the celebration.

You make a grilled cheese sandwich, but instead of cheese you use Hershey bars. Dust the finished sandwich with powdered sugar.

Bread, better, chocolate, and sugar. What more could a kid want?

[barondave.livejournal.com]

White bread? White bread At least get her to use whole wheat buns.

Do they make them in rye or sourdough?

[johnridley.livejournal.com]

My son likes peanut butter and Hershey's chocolate syrup sandwiches.

OOOOoooooo

Sugar rush time!

Hope they haven't started school -- so she was home to grab a cheese stick when the crash started.

[alfreda89.livejournal.com]

I must remember that one!

[pegkerr.livejournal.com]

Rob does the grocery shopping, not me. I would buy wheat buns, but if I complain too loudly, he'd stick me with that chore.

Oh well, she's only this age once.

[mayakda.livejournal.com]

It sound yummy and delicious! And at least doesn't have all the nitrates/nitrites/etc a hotdog would have! :)

[mayakda.livejournal.com]

Very prudent of you. :)

As a kid, I used to make buttered toast with cinnamon sugar. Uh, and leave out the cinnamon. To this day, my mother does not know about that particular breakfast food, and I plan to keep it this way.

At least I grew out of it. ;)

[avengangle.livejournal.com]

I did that, too. The amount of sugar I put in my Cheerios was probably lethal, as well. Now, I'm lucky if I manage to eat a banana or something for breakfast. Oh well.

[bluewaterlilies.livejournal.com]

That's not normal? :) I made that, too. With white bread, of course.

[sternel.livejournal.com]

Not just white bread: WONDER bread. If you can't squish it into a ball, it's just not right! ;)

[malinaldarose.livejournal.com]

Heh. That puts me in mind of Bill Cosby serving chocolate cake to his children.

[faithhopetricks.livejournal.com]

I remembered that as well!

[faithhopetricks.livejournal.com]

Ohhh yeah. White (Wonder) bread sugar-and-butter sandwiches, open-faced -- isn't that Southern US cuisine? I learned how from my dad (he was born in Texas, grew up in AZ).

[tinymich.livejournal.com]

My mother used to *make me* butter-sugar sandwiches.

[tinymich.livejournal.com]

A more gourmet version of this is actually a great dessert:

- Thick slice of good sourdough
- Cut a pocket into the middle
- Butter the outside surfaces of the bread
- Stuff some good quality bittersweet chocolate in the middle
- Grill till melty.

If you make the open-faced version (good in toaster ovens, for when you doon't want to dirty a skillet), this is EXCELLENT with a wee bit of sea salt sprinkled across the top of the melty chocolate. Swear.

[cakmpls.livejournal.com]

Hey, except for the quality of the ingredients, they were making this in Storm Lake, Iowa, in the 1930S! (See my comment above.)

[cakmpls.livejournal.com]

It was either my mother or my grandmother who introduced my brother and me to cinnamon-sugar toast.

[cakmpls.livejournal.com]

Reading comments...must go have...cinnamon-sugar toast...

[von-krag.livejournal.com]

nitrates/nitrites/etc

I knew I'd read this. Gah! I love what I do getting kicked in the head...

[tinymich.livejournal.com]

Yea, I read, but bittersweet chocolate and sea salt and sourdough >>>>>> Hershey bar and powdered sugar and white bread. ;-) More appealing to grownups, too.

[von-krag.livejournal.com]

Will the PC food police come get me if I mention cranberry & pecan cinnamon swirl bread proofing in my sink right this minuet?

[mayakda.livejournal.com]

sorry? You make hotdogs?

[pegkerr.livejournal.com]

We had the hotdog buns on hand because we'd gotten a bunch of brautwurst on coupon special.

>The amount of sugar I put in my Cheerios was probably lethal, as well.

My parents used to be so proud that little!me ate Grapenuts for breakfast. Then they discovered that I was putting like a cup of sugar in.

(I haven't done this in a while, but one of my favorite things is an English muffin with brown sugar and a pat of butter on top, nuked for a few seconds to let the butter melt. Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm.)

[von-krag.livejournal.com]

As a cook I make lots of differing choucrouterie including hotdogs. They all have different recipes and a majority have nitrates/nitrites/etc in them. Food safety and preservation mandate them in fact.

[brigidsblest.livejournal.com]

When I was that age, my favorite breakfast (when I could get it) was leftover chocolate cake frosting spread between saltine crackers. Yum.

[minnehaha.livejournal.com]

Chocolate on bread is a fine French breakfast tradition.

B

[heure-actuelle.livejournal.com]

actually they do have something like that at the state fair now...it's a sandwhich with melted chocolate and raspberry sauce in the middle and powdered sugar on the outside. oooooooooh it is SO good, i must admit.

[sienamystic.livejournal.com]

If you use Nutella, you can skip the microwave bit. Mmmm.

[bohemianspirit.livejournal.com]

Yeah, just wait'll she's in college and you can't SEE what she's eating for breakfast... %-S

But of course what you're really saying with this post is, why didn't she make one for YOU, too???

[eal.livejournal.com]

That would have been lunch for me every day of, um, sixth grade I think. A bread and butter sandwich with a light dusting of sugar.
