Picture a white diner plate: two sunny-side eggs glistening like twin suns, bacon curled in crisp spirals, a heap of golden hash browns, buttered toast stacked beside, and a warm mug of black coffee steaming beside a syrup bottle. In the background, a window shows morning clouds. A waitress passes, and the day officially begins.
