British Breakfast….
A full English breakfast with fried egg, sausage, white and black pudding, bacon, mushrooms, baked beans, hash browns, toast, and half a tomato
A traditional full English breakfast includes bacon (traditionally back bacon),[10] fried, poached or scrambled eggs, fried or grilled tomatoes, fried mushrooms, fried bread or toast with butter, sausages, and baked beans. Black pudding, bubble and squeak and hash browns are often also included. In the North Midlands, fried or grilled oatcakes sometimes replace fried bread.
The food is traditionally served with a mug of tea; more recently coffee is an alternative.
As nearly everything is fried in this meal, it is commonly called a “fry-up”. As some of the items are optional, the phrase ‘full English breakfast’, ‘full English’ (or humorously ‘Full Monty‘) often specifically denotes a breakfast including everything on offer.

A Journey Through my Life
When I was a Kid I wanted to be a hobo.
I remember in the third grade when Austin and I told one ‘n other we’d vote for each other in the student council election. But I deceived him and voted for myself, netting an extra vote. It’s funny how that still sticks with me. Perhaps it’s because it was my first stray from societal expectations. I learned that one could lie for their benefit. But it seems the fallout was more lingering as I still remember it today, and not with pride.
I remember when I use to ride the bus to school. Slapping each seat as I walked passed it or vaulting myself off them into the air. I’d get to my seat and wonder. Wonder how many more times I’d sit in this seat, or in the seat of some other nameless bus before I got to…

Traveling is a journey through and through. When a trip is conceived it sparks a dream. A dream that leads to adventure, full of hope, fear, adventure, doubt, and many other emotions. A trip that slowly starts to fill your existence. You pursue ideas, and get bogged down in research to some far away land your heading to. Trying to get a preemptive taste of what it may be like, looking at pictures of local scenery and already falling in love.

Holiday! – March 28 – The Great Tea Master: Sen no Rikyu
Yaho! There were days, days where I was late for school and there she was. My grandma with a cup of tea. If I tried to leave without drinking some she’d get angry with me, because she believed that tea was essential for the rest of the day. It smelled delicious, hot on a cold day, and was healthy(Granted I used honey) . This I suppose is why Japanese tea ceremonies have always been a intriguing way of life.
Sen no Rikyu:
Japanese tea ceremonies aka Chado Sado or Chanoyu have been shaped and form to an art. One who helped mold, sculpt and raised it to a art would be The Great Sen no Rikyu.
. 
The mentality:
To understand what he brought to the table, you must understand the ideology of Wabi-sabi. Wabi-sabi is the view in
which you value something simple, imperfect and transient.
This is what Sen no Rikyu introduced, he believed that guest should be completely comfortable without the use of strict rules and over-elaboration.
What:
In Chado Sado the tea is made by the host, and served with delicious sweets to balance out the bitter taste. You also admire the surrounding artwork, furniture, and tea cups. That are picked especially for the meeting of another person.
Here are the 7 rules for the way of tea:
- 花は野にあるよう
- 炭は湯の煮ゆるよう
- 夏は涼しく
- 冬はあたたかに
- 刻限は早目に
- 天気にても雨の用意
- 相客に心をつけ候事
- Arrange the flowers as they are in the fields.
- Lay the charcoal so it boils the water.
- Create a cool feeling in summer.
- Make sure the guests are warm in winter.
- Be sure everything is ready ahead of time and do not fall behind.
- Be prepared for rain even if it is not raining.
- Always be mindful of the guests. They’re your first, your last, your everything.
~YOU can partake in the tradition at home: all you’ll need is a cup of tea and the ability to enjoy the little things in life. ~
