This breakfast is from the other day when I was still using up the beetroot hummus I had bought. Poached egg on avocado as well.

Pinhais again, with hard boiled eggs. That's a black coffee to the side, not a glass of red wine. Those days are only for some boys' holidays.

Just realised this was the "before" picture to the one above, but it just adds a bit of context, right?

It was 55°F in the house this morning but it looked like the sun would come out and warm things up so I didn't want to turn on the heat.  Turned on the oven instead to make a quiche! 

Apple and beet salad with asparagus, mushroom and onion quiche

Parsi soft-scrambled eggs (akuri) with shrimp, brown-fried onions, garlic, ginger, serrano chiles, half-and-half, and ghee. Topped with green chutney made from cilantro, grated coconut, serrano chile, garlic, Meyer lemon juice, and a little sugar.

Pytt i panna from Roast Figs, Sugar Snow by Diana Henry, which she describes as a sort of "Swedish hash."  Recipe available online here. Topped with a fried duck egg and apple & beetroot relish from the same book on the side.  Good for a rainy morning.

I did not peel the spuds and fried them in duck fat instead of butter & oil.  I used breakfast sausage and country ham for the meat and since both are quite flavorful, I used half the amount specific in the recipe.

Once upon a time I did a lot of mushroom foraging. We have black chanterelles but I've never heard of a black bolete. Sounds delicious. I quit foraging for the black chanterelles because my only good patch was in dense Poison Oak and  I became more and more allergic.

I'm not surprised. I'd never heard of them either. They are apparently restricted to South China.

牛蛙皮蛋粥 (niú wā pí dàn zhōu), bullfrog and century egg congee.

 

I cheated and had the market lady dispatch and chop the Lithobates for me. I didn't make the century eggs, either. I did cook everything, though.

Chopped frog before cooking.

A quick search, maybe not so reliable especially when it comes to taxonomy and fungi, identifies a mushroom called a Black Velvet bolete, Tylopilus alboater. Sites suggest it is found east of the Rockies in the US and in China! So, not exactly definitive info, but after all, mushrooms are fleeting and who knows. Supposed to taste very good, though.  I often use portobello shrooms in my fried rice. A black bolete would be nice in tomorrow's scrambled eggs. Too bad for me.
