The traditional English breakfast is not for the faint hearted. Nor is if for the weak hearted as well as it can contain a lot of fried food but as long as you eat it every now and then you should be alright. I do not know of many people whoa have a full breakfast any more. Most of us do not have the time to prepare or cook one. But if you do have the time it is a real treat and I personally do not miss on the opportunity to have a breakfast. It is best if you are staying in a hotel so that some one else can do all the work and you are able to pick what you want. If you are going for the full breakfast experience then I suggest you follow this pattern. To start with you can have a little orange juice and some kind of fruit. The classic is half a grape fruit. As well as this you can start with a bowl of cereal. Also as you eat this you can have either your tea or coffee. Now it should always be tea with breakfast I was always told and you do not have coffee till ten o’clock in the morni...

Finally, I have got it all together to get this blog as I want it and what I am going to put on it. What I thought would be a simple thing to do was not. Partly because I am so in two minds as to see if this is what the people want. Or is it just the fact that I want to do it for some other reason. I am slightly suspicious of my motives, why do I want to do this . So if one person come to my blog site and see one thing that they might like or thinks I could do that then fantastic, I have done one thing. But what that might be is only for every one to say and not for me to think about. So here is what this site should be all about and that is cooking food and drink and any thing like that. Cajon spice mix, use the same measure and get, 2 cayenne pepper 4 dry oregano, 4 dry thyme, 2 garlic powder 4 black pepper, 2 salt, 2 white pepper 2 paprika Get them altogether and mix them together use them on steak , fish grill fry or barbeque best of all
