Farmer Boy Breakfast

"...they all sat down and Father asked the blessing for breakfast.

There was oatmeal with plenty of thick cream and maple sugar. There were fried potatoes and golden buckwheat cake as many as Almanzo wanted to eat,

with sausages and gravy or with butter and maple syrup.

There were preserves and jams and jellies and doughnuts.

Best of all Almanzo like the spicy apple pie with its thick, rich juice and it crumbly crust..."
