Little picture montage of ingredients, butter, onions, brown rice, spinach, bacon, garlic, egg. Also included on the list are olive oil, walnuts (I’m obsessed), parmesan cheese, salt, and pepper.

Sautee them ernions. At this point I should have added the walnuts, but those were a split-second addition I threw in.

Drop in the bacon with a dash of minced garlic.

Top it off with spinach, a little more olive oil, parmesan, salt, and pepper.

Funny thing about spinach is it seems like there’s so much of it, then it wilts down to a quarter of the volume.

Get yir brown rice ready. Go ahead and set the spinach mixture aside (or on top of the rice) to start cookin the egg.

Overeasy egg y’all! They cook quickly and once they harden, you can’t really go back. Gotta keep a close eye on it. The best part is when the egg is runny and the yolk  becomes a binder for the entire dish.

Final product. Had some Challah bread and a big ‘ol cup of coffee that I’m still drinking after finishing the meal.

Little closer up.
Cooking can be so cathartic. It turns idle time into a reward. These motions have become second nature to me so I find myself thinking the entire time I cook. It’s a good time for reflection. Maybe replaying the evening before, repeating something in your head that someone said to you the day before, or just time to think about your horoscope.

Do you find yourself thinking while cooking? What do you usually think about?
