Come Eat Breakfast With Us<\/big><\/big>

You got here jist in time for breakfast! Set down at the table and tell me about yourself while I dish up the food. My, don’t the heat from\u00a0the old wood stove feel good on cool mornings? There’ll be a\u00a0plenty to eat, ’cause this is our big meal of the day and I always cook extry. I’ve got golden brown cat head biscuits fresh out of the oven,\u00a0country ham and red eye gravy, and I scrambled up the eggs Pa brought fresh from the hen house just a little while ago. The skillet of\u00a0 luscious Chocolate gravy is thickening up, just about ready to pour over them biscuits. That Arbuckle coffee perking on the back of the stove is strong enough to float a saw log, but Pa likes it that way.You can weaken yours down with some of the sweet milk setting over there on the side table in that syrup can.
\u00a0
If you wouldn’t care, jist prise the lid off, git out the little jug of\u00a0sweet milk and the pat of butter\u00a0and put it on the table. Pa just set it over\u00a0there out of the way after he drawed it up out of the cistern where it’s\u00a0been cooling all night. That milk sure does have a thick layer of cream on top, but Jersey cows are knowed to give rich milk. Here’s a saucer\u00a0to set the butter on, don’t it look pretty with the little drops of dew on it?\u00a0 Ma left that butter mold to me, and it’s little sheaf of wheat\u00a0makes our butter look fancy enough for a Squires table.
\u00a0
Them\u00a0preserves are kinda special, cause they was made from the rind of that big old stripy Dixie\u00a0Queen watermelon\u00a0Pa won a blue ribbon on at the County Fair. If you would, just leave that chunk of lemon in\u00a0there to flavor it up\u00a0till it’s all gone. Watch your teeth on them cherry preserves, ’cause\u00a0I\u00a0just leave the pits in there\u00a0when I make em up. Gives em such a good\u00a0flavor, you know, and I just hate to pit all them cherries when they all git ripe just as the garden keeps trying to get ahead of me . Theres certain things I have to do around here by myself, you know. Pa just aint no\u00a0hand atall at some things, though he is mighty good to try and help.
\u00a0
Git washed up, Pa! I hung a clean flour sack towel out there on the\u00a0 nail\u00a0jist this mornin\u2019. You can see we got company for breakfast, and I want\u00a0you to say a special thank you when you ask the blessing. “We thank you Lord for this food, blessed nourishment of our bodies,\u00a0forgive our sins, receive us when we die, we ask in Thy name, Amen.”\u00a0 ….Ol Granny,\u00a0Jeannie T<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
