Garlic Soup for Breakfast

It’s wierder than pizza for breakfast, but I’m really growing fond of Thai breakfast:

It’s soup, basically rice boiled in a watery broth with a few pieces of shrimp or chicken.

Fairly bland…until you hit the condiment bowls.

First, add three spoonfuls of roasted garlic. Then two of ginger, one of some dried vegetable pieces I can’t identify, then a few spoonfuls of chopped green onions.

Next: salt. Lot of salt. I’ll sweat it all off by noon.

Stir it up. Chase it with three cups of coffee and quarter pineapple. Breakfast in Bangkok. Mmmmmmm.

I smell bad, but fortunately the mosquitos have begun to think the same thing.
