Take what you get.

We are staying at a hotel that caters primarily to seaman who work the docks, port or on the ships themselves. Great place and I negotiated free breakfasts. We have to give our orders the night before which includes the time we want to eat and what you would like. This is what happens when you order scrambled eggs, sausage and orange juice. Somehow, someway, somewhere this morphed in to rice and hot dogs. Aimee had her rice served with some sort of cheese/sour cream combination; I got mine with butter. Aimee received just the rice. We had grapefruit/peach juice. The young girl who has now been preparing our breakfasts for the last five days, served it with pride in her eyes. You smile & take what you get.

  1. Okay,

    I looked them up and tried to get it phonetically ...

    egg - yaitzey
    scrambled egg - yayechnia
    omlette - omlette
    toast - hrinka
    bacon - bekoan
    sausage - sewsooska
    OJ - apelseen soak

    Not sure how this will work and what food they have to work with in their kitchen. It may be hotdogs and rice and just hotdogs and rice!

    We will think of you at breakfast and hope you get at least something breakfasty!

    Hugs!

  2. Thanks, Twyla. Although I know these words and use these words and make it very clear, it still is lost somewhere. You guys know that.
