Having another half cup of coffee after my cup with a 2nd breakfast. Gearing up for the pumpkin pies I will bake today :).

Second breakfast was chilli on rice with Monterey Jack cheese on top. Rice. It's an important part of our diet and contributes to our veggie consumption. Dinner last night was fried rice with eggs and lots of chopped carrots, onions and peas from the freezer. Rice for both meals was Nishiki brown rice.

Usually, brown rice has no role in our meals but this brand had a friend's favorable recommendation. Good. It is as easy to cook as white rice. Where's it grown? Did some checking — California. Yes, it is a Japanese company as distributor.

Ramen noodles are made from wheat with eastern Washington as a major source, internationally. Lots of our greens are eaten this way. Rice noodles go in our version of Pho. This isn't a very common meal and certainly isn't the best soup for veggies. Still, it is quick, easy and a use for broth when our no-bone-goes-unboiled policy produces a bountiful supply.
