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.
