My great-grandmother and great-grandfather used to have a saying: “Eat like a king at breakfast, a prince at lunch, and a pauper at dinner.” As a child, all I knew was they tucked into big slices of coconut cake, apple pie, or berry cobbler for breakfast. They were hard-working people, and burned off every calorie they ate taking care of their massive garden, canning fruits and vegetables in the heat of the summer, and chopping wood to stoke the fire for the wood-burning stove in their kitchen where they cooked all their meals. |
