     This is a very nice breakfast to start the day!  The flavors are very old fashioned.  The tangy thin buttermilk sauce with curdled butter bits is a perfect compliment to the open faced sandwich.  Grilled home style yam is a nice breakfast accompaniment too.  Same old boring breakfast?  Breakfast is never boring in my blog!  ...   Shawna
