Curdled Milk....Delicious!

Most of the time when people make reference to their childhood experiences they often speak of how their mom did really good or really bad at cooking meals.  I have heard some really good meals and some meals that make my skin crawl.  However, when it comes to my childhood it was never my mother that did the cooking, it was my dad.  He was outstanding when it came to putting different ingredients together and making a masterpiece for a meal.  All though he could cook any meal exceptionally well, his specialty was breakfast.  As a kid I could remember every Saturday morning coming down the stairs to the sound of sizzling bacon and the warm spell of golden brown pancakes.  My mouth would water and gradually as got closer to the kitchen oddly enough my pace would pick up as if that would make the difference of the meal being done cooking quicker.  Perhaps it was that I liked watching the meal cook.  Sometimes I would be the first kid down and dad would let me help him cook which I thoroughly enjoyed.  Even though his breakfasts were delicious, there was one that stood out amongst them all.  Cheese and hotcakes!  WOW, this was a meal everyone fought over!  This is a meal that has been past down from generation to generation in our family.  It is curdled milk with diced up melted sharp cheddar cheese drizzled over warm golden brown pancakes, then topped off with salt and pepper. MMMMMM delicious! To this day as we get together as family for the holidays we can count on that breakfast every morning.
