March 22, 2009 - Breakfast

Instant noodle soup with freshly chopped green onions. Hot dog, egg (sunny side up-must be slightly runny*). Grilled vegetables: tomato, chili pasilla, and anaheim chili. Dark roast coffee and cabernet sauvignon.

*The need to have slightly runny eggs is because as a child, my parents used to serve me steaming hot rice with a raw egg mashed into it. (Rocky Balboa ain't got nothing on me!)
