...distressed, holds himself up on the open door. Police officers Nick Weston and Amanda Lovegrove have come to this housing project in Hackney, a London borough northeast of the city center, to investigate reports of a knife attack. They are arresting the toddler's uncle, who admits brandishing a kitchen blade but says he was just protecting the child from his drug-addicted mother. Weston tried to question the mom, still in her teens but with the sunken face of an old woman. "All she can tell us about the child's dad is that he's called John...
...know why frosted cinnamon rolls call my name from behind glass bakery counters, or why, even as I write this, I can't stop obsessing about the leftover pizza in the kitchen just a few yards from my desk.

He explains that America inherited the big Victorian British-Irish breakfast of bread, eggs and pork (probably because it could be cured and stored). Cereals were added at the turn of the century thanks to the Kellogg brothers. Doughnuts sneaked in after they were paired with coffee as an afternoon treat for World War I soldiers. In the South, buttery biscuits have long been served...
