One of Mariela's and my ongoing debates is what exactly constitutes breakfast. For Mariela, breakfast is something savory and a little greasy. While I'm normally a savory breakfast kind of person, I've been craving pancakes, and what many Americans consider breakfast (pancakes, waffles, etc) feels like dessert to Peruvians. I don't normally eat breakfast so this debate usually comes up when I want to eat something for lunch that she considers to be breakfast.
The kids love the breakfast/dessert loophole. "No you can't have a cookie, eat your pancakes."
