Oh gosh, this really brings back memories! Very clear memories from the 1950s of watching my mom, grandma, and several aunts around the kitchen table (with floured tablecloth on it) rolling out the dough for potica and then spreading the filling across the whole thing and rolling it up. The finished bread was so yummy! A special holiday treat. I sure wish I could taste it again.

Wow. I now appreciate bamboo shoots WAY MORE than before watching this beautiful and amazing video. I was so curious about her and her situation that I went looking for more information and found this: https://raknife.com/li-zi-qi/. Warning: That webpage seems to go on and on. But it makes for fascinating reading.

It all looks very yummy. Lucky birthday boy! Is that raw bacon on the platter? You don't eat that raw, do you?

Do you sleep?

Chile. One of my favorite breakfasts. This looks delicious.

This looks SO delicious! And to have it for breakfast? Oh my.

I like your "egg salad" combo, if I may call it that. I have never thought of putting furikake with eggs. I might try that. Minus the wasabi; I have just the plain variety of furikake.

That looks pretty darn good to me!

I have actually rooted basil from leftover basil from a Vietnamese restaurant. Maybe I was just lucky, but I just wrapped it in a napkin, took it home and stuck it in a glass of water. Roots started growing within a couple of days. I don't know what kind of basil -- whatever kind gets served with phô.

Oh YUM!

If I've done this right I've managed to upload a photo of my breakfast this morning. Tomatoes and basil (from a Seattle farmers market last Thursday) on toasted La Brea Whole Grain Loaf with Best Foods REAL Mayo (). New Zealand cheddar from the co-op (Puget Consumers Co-op).

Well, I still haven't made it to check out this restaurant, but a critic for the Seattle Times did, and here's his review: https://www.seattletimes.com/life/food-drink/river-snail-soup-anyone-for-noodle-soup-unlike-any-other-try-luosifen-in-seattles-international-district/

Oh yum! My kind of breakfast!! But it would always be leftovers for me. I wouldn't cook it in the morning. Actually, I'm a night owl so often my first meal of the day is after noon. But it would still be leftovers.

I love your sardonic sense of humor! Whatever you've got, I hope they let you out soon. All the best to you --

Hi, I'm curious: which ingredients?
