Much more than I'd eat, either...  :)  Unless I do happen to really be
hungry, I'd order something less extensive, too (on the rare occasion
when I'm out for breakfast)... :)

It was a very rare occasion for us.  Daddy never bought the big boxes...
I think they probably are more or at least were more expensive than the
plain cereals we usually had.

We generally weren't anywhere to be able to pick berries, and they were
much more expensive to buy than raisins.  That was generally a kitchen
staple in our house, anyway.  Daddy would also use them to make oatmeal
raisin cookies...  :)

 RH> Sunday breakfast was the same as the rest of the week, nothing special.

If we were just staying in town, Sunday breakfast was the same as during
the week, too.  But when we were driving any distance, there wasn't the
time usually to sit down and have a proper meal, so we just had the
bread in the car.  :)  Even in the earlier days, there were already 5 or
6 kids to get ready... ;)

... Try not to stare. Please. We feel weird enough as it is.
