Simple Breakfast

English muffin with cherry preserves and créme fraîche. Coffee.

Rice Porridge

For dinner tonight, I made congee (rice porridge) in our rice cooker. I topped it with chives and two basils I took from our herb garden and chopped. I also made a tea egg to top the congee. Healthy and good for the stomach.
