The boys ate cod livers, not are cod livers

 

But they're cod lovers and messy on top of toast?

Char siu chicken fried rice with leftover sweet potatoes, roasted chile Poblano, onion, ginger, garlic, fish sauce, long red chiles, bird chiles, cilantro, and an egg.

Beans & greens topped with fried eggs and goat cheese.

 

Warmed up some leftover borolotti lamon beans, stirred in baby spinach to wilt and topped them with these burnt butter eggs and goat cheese from Georgina Hayden's book Greekish. I unintentionally broke both yolks but still managed to have breakfast 🙃

Leftover red cabbage with creamy scrambled eggs. Long red, jalapeno, and bird chiles for heat. Fermented black beans and fish sauce for salt/umami. Onion, cilantro, and Asian basil for aroma. Mexican crema and feta cheese for richness. Apologies for the not-great cell phone pic.

Asian basil for aroma

 

you've mentioned 'Asian basil'. before. I'm curious as to which Asian basil. There are a few.

This the product (a few days old now, so fresher when bought). H-Mart labels it "Taiwan basil" but it appears identical to what is usually labeled "Thai basil" around here.

Trader Joe's lightly toasted, thickish-sliced, Pain Pauline with a thin spread of Beurre D'Isigny French butter with coarse sea salt accompanied by a rich cup of Peet's Burundi Turashobora coffee. Simple and absolutely delicious.

Yes. The Korean translates as 'Thai basil'.
