JacksonFive's
Free Weekly "Learning English" Newsletter
         Issue: 08      "Breakfast Items"     April 9, 2000
=====================================================

Dear Readers,

    We've had lots of interesting replies to the "learning as a family"
    question asked by me last week.  I think it was a question that got
    many people thinking.

    During the discussion with some of the readers that emailed me, I
    thought of another interesting question.  "What do you do with your
    copy of JacksonFive newsletter after you receive it?"  Do you leave
    it in your email box, print it out, or what do you do with it after
    you receive it?

    I would like to hear from you on this.  There is no right or wrong
    answer so don't be shy.  Please give me your replies and if I get
    enough, I might post the results in next week's issue.

THIS WEEK's FEATURED QUESTION:

    "Yummy breakfast foods you can order."

ANSWER:

  For this lesson, please reference "Perkins Restaurant" website,
    http://www.perkinsrestaurants.com/ and "click Menu bar".
  For easy learning, you probably want to printout this newsletter
    lesson and open the Perkin's menu (above) in your browser.

1) Muffins: typical North American breakfast bakery item.  Muffins
    are round and wrapped in paper at the bottom (don't eat, remove
    first) and comes in many different sweet flavors.  You can see
    a muffin near the top-left corner of the "Traditional Favorites"
    picture on the Perkin's menu.

2) Hashed Browns: thin strips of potato fried in oil.  One of my
    personal favorites, but probably not too good for you if you are
    worried about "cholesterol".  You can see a picture of hashed
    browns near the right side of the "Traditional Favorites" picture.

3) Eggs Benedict: A specially cooked egg that still has its
    "egg yolk" in one piece (the yellow part of the egg).  There is a
    picture of two eggs benedict near the lower corner of the
    "Traditional Favorites" picture.  They are sitting on the bread.

4) Omelets: one of my own yummy favorites!  Omelets are eggs mixed
    with different vegetables, meats, and cheese.  Please note the
    "Premium Omelets" picture in the Perkin's menu.  The omelet in the
    picture is also sitting on hashed browns.  I usually eat lots of
    omelets with hashed browns for breakfast when I'm in North America.

5) Pancakes and Maple Syrup: Pancakes are make from pancake powder
    mixed with water and cooked in a pan.  Pancake without maple syrup
    is very tasteless and not very good tasting.  Maple syrup is also
    called "syrup" and comes from maple trees.  It is sweat and adds
    flavor to pancakes, waffles and other items.  You can see a good
    picture of pancakes with maple syrup and butter on top in the
    "Pancakes Plus" picture at the Perkin's website.

6) Waffles: a little bit like pancake, but has square indents (holes).
    Also eaten with syrup.  You can see waffle items in the Perkin's
    menu, but no pictures.

7) French Toast: toast that is coated with "egg white" (clear part of
    the egg) than cooked in a pan.  It develops an attractive golden
    coating.  You can see a listing of it in the "Pancakes Plus"
    section of the Perkin's menu.

NEXT WEEK's FEATURED QUESTION:
