By studying the daily utensil and their stories, I learned that lazy smart way of making congee:
drop a handful of rice into a thermos bottle, fill it with hot boiling water. Go to sleep. And wake up having a bottle of congee ready for breakfast!
This morning, I was amazed with my first eco-congee. And very glad to find a new job for my little blue thermos bottle from now on. Thinking of words from the fashion designer Vivian Westwood. “I’ve never made anything new, but trying to make every same old stuffs with a new way…”.
With a believe in happy action, I went to share this discovery and congee with the grannie next door. She was more surprised than me, and said: ” 幾廿歲人!而家至識?有無搞錯呀! “

看到冰箱裡有蛋,有吃剩的午餐肉。於是來個午餐肉煎蛋.
敲開蛋殼,意外收獲,雙蛋黃。

My dog-sadhu, loves breakfast… everyone’s breakfast.
Usually about 10-15% of my muffin or toast has to be submitted for peace.

這星期都在採訪麵包店,真的是Working for Bread - 因為要試食。
是期寫完,今次字數少到得50wds,簡直係呃稿費。
上星期五在黑麥採訪時,我問了一位歐洲客人Dean Head,
他說黑麥麵包用料做法同歐洲一樣,不亂加Cream同Butter同Sugar,
而有樣唔知係,原來歐洲包好多時加左Fresh Cream,
亞洲人難以消化乳糖,結果香港既歐洲包味道唔同曬。
採訪完後,掃了Blue Cheese and Pepper Baguette
跟Almond Lemon Honey Braed及讀書好返回家,
另一間的,完全無掂。

昨天是A-1集團,攝影師太喜歐陸包拿了回家,
在圓方跟她吃了丹麥千層酥及法式樹頭鮮奶包,
談起飲食,大家也實在不怕胖,
想不到是她認為今日女生身材太平,原因是發育時就鬧減肥,
結果Fat Cell不夠,當然就身材如此了。
今天早餐,自然是A-1的吞拿魚竹輪包,Mochi冬甩,
日式Melon Bun,德式吞拿魚,楓糖提子…

看見Benny的早餐2-4… 哈哈… 想起了家中的#2#3…
#2是伴侶… 每次買面包… 總買多一份… 他喜歡吃紙包蛋糕… 也喜歡吃法包… 他總是帶包回公司吃… 他出門口的時候就是我起床的時候…
#3是一對的… 是家中的龜龜… 被人遺棄… 被哥收養了… 又再轉到我家… 住在浴缸中… 來了好幾個月… 初來的時候可能因為是冬天… 吃的很少… 最近不知怎的… 大吃極了… 早晚兩餐… 都是吃菜… 成日爭食… (我心想:物似主人?=p) 每次見到我… 就以為有野食… 很喜歡看牠們吃的樣子… 大啖大啖… 好肚餓咩?

Every morning, after serving the spirit in and around my house. I’ve to serve the souls at home.
Breakfast #2 is for tiger, a female cat about 13 years old. She loves the tibetan table so much that she’ll has her breakfast, afternoon tea and diner everyday on here. What excite her the most is fresh running water. She’ll jump from her sofa like jacky chan when she hear the tap water is running.
#3 is sadhu, a golden retriever adopted together with tiger and the tibetan table 1.5 year ago. He is in his middle age crisis, eg.knee problem, family reconstruction, start working as security…etc. What he love most is Hot Pot Rice.
#4 is ah4, a 6 years old male cat and very typical Pisces. Used to be vegetarian before age of 2. Now he likes only crispy biscuit. He is a fellow of slow food movement. So, very often hishalf finished breakfast is eventually finished by #3 sadhu.

這份「早晨全餐」真的是兒時DELUXE breakfast,是派成績表後才有機會獲得的大禮品。
今天,為什麼我會罪咎起來呢?
罪咎一:這餐的發泡膠的耗用。一大堆衛生、耐熱的膠x,還有那張4色餐盤紙(雖然是環保紙),為這早餐墊底。
罪咎二:浪費了食物,每次附上一包包的果醬、黑椒、鹽...有時懶惰沒想到把沒用過的包包歸還嗎?特別那些包裝糖,每餐有兩包。
罪咎三:一句醒目的標語「24小時,麥當勞凌晨四時起供應」。背後的工作人員時薪是多少? 24小時的燈火光明是城市的多餘產品嗎?令人困惱。
罪咎四:標榜由北美洲入口的小麥粉、美國A級大蛋...食著坐飛機來的食物、又想想糧食分佈、陰魂不散的飢餓問題,好內咎。
罪咎五:Deluxe breakfast 的「營養分析」,和早餐營養陷阱的報導。餐盤紙角標著「想知道營養資料,翻轉背頁啦」,我不敢看。
還有一大籮問題:
100%上乘漢堡牛肉=落後國家大量砍伐雨林的牛肉的農場=穀物牛?
麥記純正乳品=基因食物?
......一個令人內疚又苦惱的食物世界。

這十天的早餐… 本來是5時起床後的簡單粥水… 因為本來入了內觀中心…
變成了一天是媽煲的白粥… 一天與媽飲茶… 好幾天完全吃不下只飲咖啡… 到現在開始回復咖啡+面包的習慣…
原來是沒有本來的…
爸十日前入了醫院… 然後做了個大手術… 在深切治療部住了幾天… 三天前轉回普通病房…
如果內觀是一種修練的話… 這十天的經歷… 比任何修練都更實在…
以為情況好轉時… 怎知又變壞… 變壞了… 又好轉過來… 時好時壞… 沒有理所當然… 只有學習embrace every moment in life… sadness.. tears.. pains.. whatever and whenever it is.. 就在當中… 會發現存在就是存在… 生命就是生命… 不用外加任何意義… it is what it is… 這是我一直要學習的…

沒錯,兩星期,老媽也懶了,原因家中太多事忙,
而我這小毛孩完全幫不上忙,繼續寫稿拍片封字幕。
4/5時代廣場頒獎禮時,自己造了點Sandwitch,
嘉頓漢堡包夾德國煙肉,塗點牛油;

及後天天都是西餅。

我真的是膽固醇萬歲派,反正中午晚上我大多菜肉比例是3:1。
本星期在影音雜誌趕稿,星期五再開始飲食雜誌麵包專題,
一直喜歡山崎,近年走到A-1,到領匯將商場店舖收回時,
才醒起小時最喜歡原來是粗糙的腿蛋包,
一個叫我曾經努力模仿蛋餅做法,一塊幾毫的地區超市麵包。
真的,不是想阻止重建,但要寫出這種詩,放過我們小市民吧。
城市只是擬像(Simulacra)
真實的歷史業己失去
彷彿舊區是擬態(Simulation)
活在傳媒的論述之中
最後成為超真實(hyper reality)
一個個成為地政總署的激光掃瞄數據

我習慣了早餐不吃中式的,除了與家人在週日上茶樓之外。中式早餐吃义燒包和牛肉球,就和吃午餐沒有兩樣了。我喜歡三文治,許多許多的芝士和各式各樣的火腿,咖啡或奶茶不可缺少。不知這樣是不是很「假洋鬼子」,可是西式的早餐就是最好味的,這個念頭是改不到的了。我還喜歡跟火腿雙蛋咖啡拍照呢。
小時候有零用錢,週末會到快餐店買什扒餐吃。腸仔、火腿、牛扒加多士,開初配一杯可樂,後來覺得一早便喝汽水不好,便加一元配鮮橙汁。記得在新加坡旅行時,導遊說肉骨茶的起源,是因為從事苦力的人勞動量大,大清早要好好補充一下。所以早餐我也覺得要吃得飽,如果八時只一片火腿與雙蛋,十時又要吃第二輪早餐了。
有時工作千頭萬緒,連早餐的時間也不放過,在茶餐廳來個快速會議。炸魚火腿腸仔加多士配奶士,才十八塊錢,還可以撐到兩點才吃中飯。可是這不等於在家就能不沾一滴水就出門趕公車啊。不先來一壺咖啡因,在公車上就昏昏欲睡,呵欠打得像未喝美沙酮!

小時候,冬天,媽媽會將冷飯和隔夜餸放入電飯煲翻熱,(那是沒有微波爐的年代),那就是我們上學前的早餐,飽肚暖胃。
長大後,偶爾,我都會以飯來作早餐。

人大了,才懂得欣賞「唐餅」。
知道奇華出了(可能)健康的蛋白蒸糕,卻還是鐘愛附近舊式餅店的雞蛋鬆糕。雖然,常叫朋友不要吃太多蛋,不要貪甜,總是有口話人無口話自己。
隔了夜,打開袋,蛋香依然撲鼻,叫人舒暢。微黃,淡甜,飽肚,一口是一口,實在。
加上香澀的咖啡。
儀式完成,好好工作。

Every morning, I’ve to prepare breakfast for many parties. This is the first one above all. I started this practise since I moved in this house in last year.
I picked a Tibetan flavor incense, they smell good and strong. I think that could help to reach all the spirits who are so far away. Without the one who build this house, the sun, the sea, and the neighborhood(human and all other living being), I can’t enjoy the rest of the day.
