Food, cooking, eating, and me

I’m sorry, I ate it all before realizing that I ought to snap a photo.

Seriously, the site gets a fair number of hits from people searching for gluten-free and/or dairy-free breakfast options. It seems like what used to be a “balanced” or “square” meal in the old days – eggs, meat, potatoes, juice, bread – has become an artifact preserved only in those museums of culinary archival, restaurants. Nowadays few people eat anything for breakfast besides cold cereal or baked goods.

This morning I had breakfast fried rice. I fried a jumbo breakfast sausage, removed it from the pan and sliced it. In the pan I put some more butter, leftover brown rice, and a cup of chopped green onions. After the rice was hot I added back the sausage and an egg. I stirred until done, seasoning with black pepper and crushed red pepper. No salt was needed as both the rice and sausage were previously seasoned. I served it with a small bowl of fresh pineapple. Yum.

Heres a link to the breakfast fried rice recipe, if you’re a recipe sort of person. There are also bacon, ham, and vegan fried rice variations.
