Finn, like all great Americans, has an innate love of diners and the greasy, salty, sweet breakfast foods they offer. This was proven one morning in West Virginia.
On our drive to Washington DC for a Air Force Reserve conference, we stopped for food at an old style Denny's restaurant. Finn ordered the Kids' Slam, which comes with pancakes, eggs, bacon, sausage, milk, and an orange slice. The boy ate it all to include the orange peel.
It was a massive amount of food especially as a percent of body weight. No mountain of pork and eggs with a side order of cake is too much for him.
Any drive goes a little better when you are really full and he was. He went back to sleep after the meal and slept until lunch, naturally. If we project out his appetite until he's 16, I fear the grocery bills. A dozen eggs, a pound of sausage, a rasher of bacon, 18 pancakes, and a whole orange. Yikes.
