This is just freakin' delicious and I think it safe to say most people
if given the chance to try it will love it. We have it often. Very
easy to make, you really don't need every ingredient listed in the
above link - the key things a pork belly (or similar pork cut),
eggs and Chinese 5 spice... hmm, and probably the palm sugar, fish and
oyster sauces.

Morning glory must be something different for you. To me, it's
Ipomea purpurea, whose seeds are poisonous in quantity.

My breakfast was as always: oatmeal with raisins, brown sugar, and
butter. A glass of milk on the side.

We had chicken stir-fried with onion, finished with soy sauce, a squeeze
of lemon juice, and a pat of butter. Preceded by a tossed salad and
accompanied by rice flavored with sesame oil.

I eat that often. I like it the same way but only for later
evening snacks. I never eat breakfast.

Yeah, when I'm alone I'll often make it for dinner.

Mine was a bowl of Cream of Wheat with a wee bit of milk, a cherry
danish and a bog mug of tea.

I had a quick and easy dinner last night. We had a half a bag of frozen
tortellini in the freezer and a half a jar of pasta sauce to be used up.

Costco's organic marinara is pretty good. This was a local store brand
that my wife picked up. Not bad. I usually make my own.

Yes, same as in Australia. In SE Asian countries, the name refers to a
different species: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ipomoea_aquatica

Pak Boong is one of my favourite Thai dishes, quick and easy to make:

Back in Australia I do have oatmeal often, usually with some dried
fruits and almond milk, or dairy milk when in the mood for that.

Sounds nice, some lime or lemon juice really makes a difference too.

i have my usual plain breakfast. a slice of double flax toast with butter, an extra large boiled egg, and a bowl of steel cut oatmeal with raw honey. i'm diabetic, and after eating the oats with honey, my blood sugar spikes one to one and a half points. but after two hours, it is lower than it was before breakfast.

It's interesting how the various forms of carbohydrates affect the
body. I am not diabetic, but I can't help but notice that I feel a lot
better eating low GI foods. In Thailand I do eat a lot of rice,
however. It's a bit hard to avoid here, obviously, especially when
it's involved with delicious foods. Cooking at home we use a lot of
riceberry rice, which at least is relatively healthy. I very rarely
eat noodles.

Sounds very healthy to me. I'm going to check my local health
food store for that. If they don't carry it, I'm sure they will
order some.

BTW, your breakfast the other day (pic posted) looked to die for
but not early for breakfast for me. I would do that for an
afternoon or evening meal. Looked awesome to me...perhaps even
epic!

I really like it. It's not very starchy at all. My wife and son seem
to tolerate it (Thai's prefer very starchy rice) but she will often
cut the riceberry with white rice - it's a good compromise I'm happy
with.

Sadly for me I just don't like brown rice. Periodically I will try it
again, but no matter what... I just don't like it. The flavour/texture
just isn't for me. But no longer a problem with riceberry rice
available now.

Years ago my wife inherited some rural land, several acres. Her family
takes care of it, growing mainly rice. I'm curious about growing
riceberry there, but unsure how much market demand there is for it in
Thailand. Riceberry is more expensive then conventional rice, of
course, it could be worth looking into. Or at least grow enough of it
for ourselves.

Thanks, I have no rules when it comes to meals. Sometimes I just feel
like lots of veggies for breakfast. Back in Australia I often have
oatmeal for dinner if cooking for myself, LOL.

Well today for breakfast I am having the McGriddle recipe previously
posted however I have some frozen. These particular ones are made with
half a pineapple ring in them and I will be placing a slice of jimmy
dean gluten free sausage between 2 of the griddles to make a super
delicious breakfast sandwich. As I prepare to begin the thawing of the
products the main concern I am having is do I add cheese to the
sausage and if so do I go with a Moz or a colby/jack?

Colby/Jack being more sharper in flavour? If so I'd go with that.

Colby/jack is extremely mild in flavor.

Oh yeah, I remember Colby (supermarket) cheese now in Australia now,
it's kinda bland.

Ready in 2 hours? I'll pass and take your word for it that it's good. Sounds
different but not really good, at least not to me.

Yes, easy and quick preparation, but it is a stew, so takes time to
cook.

If you don't like Chinese 5 spice, then yes. It's not something I
would have thought about trying had my wife not cooked it. It's a
fairly common dish here in restaurants.
