COLIN´S BREAKFAST

Today, Colin, a good friend of mine from Liverpool sent me this e-mail and some pics of the English breakfast he cooked for his family this Sunday morning. Thanks a million, Colin! :)

One of my stranger emails, I've never photographed our breakfast before! These photos are from today, Sunday, for 4 people, bacon, egg, beans, sausage, black pudding & toast. All cooked by chef Fletcher. The silver spoon in the beans is from a Paris antiques market - posh beans! And I nearly forgot the sauces, most important, we always have brown sauce & tomato ketchup, and I love Worcester - pronounced 'wuster' - sauce. Great with the 'morcilla', the most popular Worcester sauce brand is Lea & Perrins, but any brand is better than none! Not in the photos are the other essential ingredients, fresh orange juice, and a cup of tea. Ooooh, I could eat that again!Hehe. Has this made you hungry?!

YES, IT HAS COLIN! ;-)

WOULD YOU LIKE A CUPPA?

Britain is a tea-drinking nation. Every day they drink 165 million cups of the stuff and each year around 144 thousand tons of tea are imported.
Tea in Britain is traditionally brewed in a warmed china teapot, adding one spoonful of tea per person and one for the pot. Most Britons like their tea strong and dark, but with a lot of milk.

English people are really in love with tea. When an English friend came to visit me, she brought her own English tea as she said she couldn´t survive without it! English tea is the best tea all over the world according to her:) Maybe she is right but I don´t care where tea comes from, I don´t like it at all! I love the next song though!

WE ARE THE BEAVER!!

This is a very funny song by " The arrogant worms" about the beaver as Canada´s national symbol. It was made a national symbol in 1975. The beaver was the primary fur traded and trapped by the Hudson Bay Company, and was also shown on Canada's first postage stamp.

THE TALE OF THE SUN AND THE MOON

"The Tale of the Sun and the Moon" is a lullaby about why the sun is up during the day and the moon is out at night.
Children's musician Eric Herman is at it again with a brand new video of his song, with lyrics by Kenn Nesbitt.
