Eating Breakfast Foods 

Emil: Look at this breakfast buffet¹. Wow, I’ve died and gone to heaven! 

Tammy: I think I’ll just grab some cereal, fruit, and a bagel. 

Emil: What?! How can you pass up this amazing buffet? I’m starting with some bacon, scrambled² eggs, and hash browns. 

Tammy: I don’t normally eat a big breakfast. If I’m still hungry after this, I’ll have some pancakes. 

Emil: Pancakes! I’m going to have some pancakes when I’m done with this first round, plus some waffles and French toast. 

Tammy: Well, more power to you. I can’t imagine anyone eating more than what’s already on your plate. 

Emil: I’ve only just begun. After the pancakes, waffles, and French toast, I think I’ll have an omelet and some biscuits and gravy³. I might even have room for one or two of those doughnuts. 

Tammy: You’re not serious. 

Emil: I’m dead serious. 

Tammy: You sound like you’re planning on staying here all morning. 

Emil: That’s right. Do you want to meet me back here for the lunch buffet?
