Hello!

Issue #008---Christmas Brunch Menu - Breakfast Drinks---December 5, 2006


Breakfast DrinksIn this issue of the Breakfast and Brunch Express, I wanted to highlight some of the wonderful drink recipes that can be made and enjoyed for your Christmas and Holiday breakfast and brunch menus.

With the holidays soon approaching, food and drink seems to take on more importance. It isn't just about the food, but the drink as well.

Many people enjoy a glass or two of eggnog around this time of year and sipping a fruity spiced cider just seems to sum up the flavors of the season.

I have tried to include a variety of both non-alcoholic and alcholic drinks to satisfy most tastes. On a personal note... my Christmas tree is up as of this past weekend and the scented candles are burning as I finish writing this newsletter. Christmas cards are next, along with a few invitations to send out for brunch. Much of the shopping is done, but still more yet to do. I have not baked any Christmas cookies yet, maybe next weekend.

Please do enjoy these holiday breakfast drink recipes and make the most of your time together with your friends and family.

An Eary Christmas Present for Yourself...

With all of the holiday shopping for others, take a moment and think about yourself and what the New Year holds.

If you are working, are you happy with your current job or are you wishing you could stay home more to be there for your family?

Maybe your yearly raise wasn't as much as you thought it would be or maybe this year there was no raise or bonus at all.

If you have ever thought about starting an on-line business, take a look at what has been working for me.

Quote for the Day

Isn't it strange that you are so indespensable when you ask for a day off and so expendable when you ask for a raise?

A Helpful Hint:

Never throw water on burning oil; use flour. Throw salt on burning fat.
