How Do You Like 'em?


Arising yesterday after a fairly short night's sleep, and still mildly (although, amusingly after a short while) troubled by a dream in which I was attacked by a crocodile, who seemed to have come from the smallish fishpond I built at my Dad's house, many years ago; I felt the need for a warming & invigorating breakfast - so Hot Szechuan Vegetables it was, boosted by an extra dollop of chilli sauce - yummmm!.

I imagine that many of you might find that an odd choice for the time of day, and I must say that it wasn't (entirely) prompted by "ooh - leftovers!" laziness, since truthfully, I really like curries & chillies for breakfast & will happily cook 'em from scratch, no matter how early the hour. There's (nearly) nothing nicer than a plate of very hot, Indian'ish fried rice to begin the day with, topped by a fried egg, naturally. (Sunny side up, since you ask)

I said nearly, since obviously there are much better things to wake up to, than breakfast... but sticking strictly to food for the moment (we don't wanna frighten the horses eh?) - What do you enjoy the most?.

  1. Hmmm... Or should that be Mmmmm ? Curries are indeed superb for breakfast - if not strictly advisable - though truth be told, I prefer mine cold.

    If Cheese induces all manner of vivid dreams, what about Szechuan fare with chillis ?

  2. I'd say you're a breakfast hotty ;)..
    I've never had spicy hot food for breakfast but,
    I'd like to give it a try, it sounds yummy.
    Eggs- I like them cooked anyway as long as they aren't super runny.
    This morning I was craving oatmeal w/ a dollop of butter and a little cream, mild eh:D

    Nice post ta for sharing. xx

    well take over the pond and make it home.. perhaps you were thinking of Florida, eh, maybe, just perhaps? :)

  4. ib - my mum was always keen on cold curry, I must try it sometime.

    Music♬lover & anonymous - you dunno what you're missing yet - it's a treat I think. Croc's in ponds - shudder, but yeah, maybe that got in my head somehow.

  5. Well, I'm only four days late! haha sorry luv...

    For breakfast, aside from the obvious roll in the hay ;) a huge pot of coffee, toast and cheese and I'm seriously set! Although in Japan we always had a small, teensy grilled fish and rice and after about the fourth or fifth day it seemed completely natural - couldn't wait to see what type of fish was next, hehehe

    xoxo,
