I realized I haven't had a chance to post any food pictures since I moved to my new place, which is a super-huge shame because I've been eating some really scrumptious meals lately. Breakfast remains my favorite time of the day but with a different set of supplies to work with I had to modify the way I make a lot of things I have for breakfast!

Unlike before when I had pans in a variety of sizes, the only pan I really have is a tiny 8" nonstick frying pan. The new apartment's stove heats with gas and not electricity which is a gigantic relief. The difference in power is pretty awesome and it's taking absolutely no time at all for me to be accustomed to it!

It turns out the sausages I use actually seem to fry even better here and the little pan I have totally does its job. I have to fry eggs one by one now (of course with canola oil still) but this way I can afford to give the love and care each one needs. Plus, taking eggs off the pan one by one is a much more trivial task than trying to take two off at the same time. Eggs these days are seasoned with only sea salt and sometimes ground pepper since anything else may ruin the wonderful taste of the egg.

The white rice is reheated rice from a restaurant. It's only in restaurants that I eat white rice at all anymore.

Overall, this was a pretty yummy breakfast! I'm quite fond of my new kitchen set-up. Many, many chefs of the world swear by gas stoves and for a really good reason, too. None of that electric crap.

The soundtrack to this breakfast was Ra Ra Riot's début album The Rhumb Line.

I had the absolutely yummy usual. I was supposed to cook for a friend today, too, but he hasn't shown up yet, so I don't know what's up with that. I guess he might just have to live with having one delicious meal fewer in his life.

The soundtrack today's breakfast is Radiohead's third LP, OK Computer.

I was just at Imperial Pizza in Brighton. They're a pizza place that's been in the area for about 40 years and they've been run by the very same Italian family the whole time. Their pizzas are really cheap and the famous pizza of theirs is done in a Sicilian style. It was perfectly yummy, the crust really thick and kinda crunchy. The best part was the cheese and the way it was melted in total awesomeness. I think this is the start of a beautiful relationship.

I went to a supermarket after and got some Edy's fruit bars. This is a huge supermarket and to my surprise they have lots of stuff I've never really seen before. Variations that I never knew existed on popular brand name food items. Lay's fucking kettle chips. Anyway, I picked up some açai blueberry-flavored fruit bars and got to try some once I got home.

The texture is fantastic. I like it when fruit bars have the sort of texture of the actual fruit. It makes the eating experience more "authentic". Either way, the flavor is pretty good too. I didn't get any of that supposed bitterness of açai everyone complains about probably because there's a lot of blueberry, too. Yummy stuff.
