Breakfast,
yes the meal I love the most and USA has all the options for each taste!
My host
family, love them very much but I will never understand their breakfast
routines --the mom never had time and ran out of the door before I had even started
working, the dad, he usually just ate a granola bar (a energy bar) and a cup of
hot chocolate, very strange to this day, but as long as it satisfied his belly
right?
In my
family back home we always have breakfast together so this was a BIG culture shock, I
came to realize that this is something I can show them, something from my very ow culture - so I took
on this project and decided to introduce my passion for breakfast to the four
kids. I actually many times used the breakfast as a way to get them all out of their beds fast!
Many days
I made them pancakes, waffles, hot cereal or bacon. Yes it took some time but
what I really like about breakfast is not the fact the lovely food but the time
to spend with the family together before the day starts.
I would
often sit with the children when they were eating and ask them what their day
would be like. My six-year-old girl would tell me about the boyfriends, it was
always 5 different boys in her school at the same time. I often was left feeling like my own dating
game was kind of boring compared to hers!
My best
tips for great places in the USA are:
- Crape Escape- Sacramento, CA
- I.H.O.P (International house of pancakes) Located all over the U.S.A!
- Starbucks for awesome coffee and great bagels
- Dennis Dining for cheap and great eggs
- Peeta bread café, really good sandwiches!
Enjoy your breakfast time!
