A typical breakfast

"A typical", or "atypical".  Both!

It's a typical breakfast for me, but probably very atypical of what most people eat for breakfast.  Some items change from day to day, but they always have a half apple or pear, some sweet potato slices, an avocado and some kidney beans.  Most of the time I'll have a slice of sourdough toast, (in the above picture, I substituted rice with wakame), and some other vegetable - in the above picture, bittermelon stir fried with tofu.

When I have toast, the textural differences of the crunch of the toast and apple pair well with the really soft avocado and kidney beans.  The bittermelon packs a lot of umami that's balanced by the creamy richness of the avocado.  The sweetness of the apples and sweet potatoes pair nicely with the salty seaweed.  And the fiber of everything helps keep me full for a long time.  It's a perfectly balanced meal, and gets me several servings of fruits and vegetables.

I eat this almost every day and never get tired of it.

HAIL SEITAN!!!

Buddha soup

I think this is a dumb name for a soup, but I co-opted it from the Loving Hut menu. Regardless, it was really good, with lots of fungus ...
