American Breakfast

Americans understand breakfast. Our hotel doesn’t do any food, so we have had to go out every day. Even at 7.30am, in a town without too much commerce, places have been pretty full. I have tried to be restrained with breakfast, so most mornings it is poached eggs on ‘English’ muffins, and a cup of fruit. Also a glass of orange juice is a must have, as it just tastes so different drinking it in Florida!

I also had a bagel with cream cheese one day, and I treated myself to pancakes and maple syrup with crispy bacon one day! I didn’t have any lunch that day.

Also, as an aside, I have become addicted to the Food Network while I have been here. I discovered Rachel Ray’s 30 minute meals last time I was here, and have just bought the book, but now I have been watching Ace of Cakes, Ultimate Recipe Showdown and Iron Chef America. Masterchef is going to look tame when I get home (and I have two weeks worth of episodes recorded!).
