Yummy blackberry waffles with whipped cream at The Whip in Vancouver.

This is a weird breakfast.  Not unusual in the foodie sense, but just plain bizarre.  A slab of ham, slice of watermelon and big glass of milk. 

And…not mine, but Chip graciously allowed me to document it.

Chocolate eclairs at a convenience store somewhere in Montana.

Classic diner breakfast of eggs and hashbrowns, even down to the boomerang formica countertop.

My dad was from Montreal, so poutine holds a special place in my heart.  Plus, it’s really yummy.  And completely bad for you.  It’s made of hand cut french fries, cheddar cheese curds and a special gravy.  All washed down with a Pepsi, of course!

This was at an off-the-beaten path food truck, way back in 2000, before food trucks were all the rage.  This was somewhere in the summer countryside of Quebec, July 2000.

And when we went to Florida in January, we saw this reassuring sign:

Eggs and hash browns, but more specifically:  spinach and feta egg scramble with a side cylinder of hash browns.

When we want gourmet comfort food, we head to 24 Diner in Austin.  Here we have a roasted banana and brown sugar milkshake.  It’s sensational.  Two straws, of course!

Look at that big ol’ ham steak for breakfast!  My potato pancakes were overshadowed as was Noah’s french toast. 

Here’s our friend and real estate agent extraordinaire, Lynn Knapik, getting ready to dig into the classic breakfast (or anytime!) dish of chicken and waffles at the Pearl Brewery.

Jaxson’s Ice Cream Parlor is in Hollywood, Florida and it is a fond memory for my husband from when he would visit his grandma as a kid.  We made a visit for nostalgia reasons, but I was completely unprepared for this zany place.

Besides a crazy menu and even crazier sound effects that were being played, Jaxson’s is famous for serving something called “the Kitchen Sink”.  It has, like, 1,000 scoops of ice cream.  We played it safe and ordered a 3 scoop sundae.  Or so I thought.  I saw this across the room and jokingly said to Noah, “check it out, someone actually ordered that and they’re going to have to eat it!”  And then the waiter brought it over to our table.  Just to make sure it was over the top, they included that mini American flag, proudly waving over what had to be a whole can of whipping cream, accompanied by sprinkles in every color of the rainbow
