Breakfast was simple, roughly a pint (post-cooked) of freshly cooked rice with four room-temperature eggs broken over top of it and mixed in, with the residual heat from the rice slightly cooking the eggs to a satisfying albeit visually and texturally unimpressive (and slighly slimy) mass. A little fresh-ground pepper, a little organic soy sauce, and a squirt of sriracha just to keep me from getting complacent was all the seasoning it needed. Delicious! It's one of my favorite comfort-food breakfasts. Sometimes I'll make it in a pan if it's leftover rice instead of fresh-cooked, which adds little crispy bits to the rice and tends to cook the egg more firmly, but otherwise it's identical.

For lunch I had half a small jar of sweet pickles. Yes, that`s all, just pickles. Listen, pickle brine is full of electrolytes, OK? And pickles are jam-packed with pickly goodness, full of vital... pickle nutrients. Hey, quit judging me. I wanted pickles. Oh, and three leftover wontons from a soup two or three days ago that I wolfed down cold, just because they were there.

I had two baked yams with a pat of butter, four slices of baked bacon (bacbaconed? Bacbaconon? bak^2on?) and three hard boiled eggs for dinner, followed by a small sliced pear slathered in sriracha sauce for dessert. Just now I had three chocolate chip cookies (just three? I am a man of iron will!) as a late-night snack, and yet I'm still craving... something. Potato chips, I think. Salt. My body wants salt. And fat. And carbs. Or a steak. Yeah, a nice, thick, juicy porterhouse, medium rare, with worcestershire sauce and a side of mushrooms and shallots cooked in port wine. God, what is wrong with me? It's like I am a bottomless pit of hunger all the time.

I am intrigued by this "pear + sriracha" idea.

DO IT. You will not regret it, I promise.

Just make sure it's a sweet, bordering on the overripe pear. The crispier, tangier pears don't work as well.

I did this! It was quite tasty, and a perfect after dinner snack. I feel like this may be a perfect "pear/apple & cheese" replacement for me.

I'm so glad it worked! See, I like the pear and cheese a lot, but it's got to be the right kind of cheese and plus I only like doing that with crispy pears. If I don't have the right cheeses or the pears have become ripe... sriracha here I come!

You may be ready for stage 2 now: Sriracha with vanilla ice cream.

We seem to be food-synched again. I was just contemplating what to make for brunch and was looking at leftover rice and an egg. And also mourning my lack of pickles (which are for all times of day).
