“There has never been a sadness that can’t be cured by breakfast food”*…

Eddy Chavey, AKA, “Mr. Breakfast,” with a site all about the most important meal of the day…

Mr Breakfast is committed to: 1) assisting breakfast lovers find the best possible breakfast, and 2) making breakfast lovers out of those who are not…

There’s an interactive database of recipes, a massive “encyclopedia of every breakfast cereal ever made in the U.S.” and a meaty blog stuffed with featues like “366 ways to enjoy toast,” “Recreating The World’s First Omelette Recipe,” “How To Make Donuts In The Microwave,” and “Breakfast In Africa.”

So much more at: “Mr. Breakfast.”

Apposite: “The World Atlas of Sausages.”

As we set our timers, we might send helpful birthday greetings to Ponce Kiah Marchelle Heloise Cruse Evans; she was born on this date in 1951. Better known by her pen name, Heloise, she is the daughter of Heloise Bowles, who created “Hints from Heloise,” a domestic advice column that appeared in over 600 newpapers worldwide. Ms. Bowles died in 1977, at which point Heloise II took over. While the column has faded with the newspapers that use to run it, it continues to run. Additionally, Heloise II has written 11 books, hosted a national radio show, is a nationally known speaker, and contributes a monthly column to Good Housekeeping.

… For some reason this image has been swimming around in my head for a few years now, and finally – after chipping away at it bit by bit over the last couple months – I’ve brought it to life as a large, absurdly detailed print. It’s kind of about the strange, uncomfortable feeling of reuniting with old friends only to find that the magic just isn’t there anymore – and in turn, about the melancholy “nothing will ever be as good as it used to be” type of nostalgia, of which I am increasingly fond. And of course, a tribute to the late, great, wood-paneled, shag-carpeted 1970’s rec room.

Thanks to Monster Cereal Blog, where this stunner was featured.

As we watch the chocolate bleed into the milk, we might send birthday balloons to Christopher Robin Milne– real-life model for the wise young friend of Winnie the Pooh– born to Daphne and A.A. Milne on this date in 1920.

A.A. Milne, Christopher Robin… and a bear
