Spam and eggs on rice. The quintessential local-style Hawaiian breakfast. They even serve this for breakfast at McDonald’s there.
I think mine is tastier though.

Spam, Eggs, and Fried Rice

Nasi Lemak
The last and most important piece to the Malaysian feast is Nasi Lemak – coconut rice. We use basmati rice, and add coconut milk to the cooking liquid. We also threw in a few pandan leaves for added fragrance.
The center of the dish is the nasi lemak. On the right is the sambal ikan bilis. Then comes the dhal and finally the rendang chicken. Other condiments served on the side include sliced cucumber, pan-fried peanuts, and hard boiled egg.
You can eat it with fork and spoon but some say if you use your hands, it tastes better. You gather up a little of this and a little of that, making a small pile on the plate. Then you scoop it up with your hand and use your thumb to push it into your mouth. It takes some practice, but soon you’ll be eating nasi lemak like a native!

Musgovian omelet
Every now and then, we have a Saturday morning when we can take our time getting out of bed. I usually find myself making an omelet, using what I can scrounge up out of the fridge.
This one contained bell pepper, red onion, mushrooms, and grated mozzarella. It was only a two-egg omelet, and I took a little too much time getting it out of the pan. The browning was unintended. But it’s all good, especially with some habanero hot sauce!

Smoked Salmon Salad
Annie wanted to do a salad one night and we were looking around for ingredients. We had some smoked salmon sitting in our pantry for a while, so we thought, why not?
Romaine lettuce, orange bell pepper, red onion (sliced thinly), hard boiled egg, and capers. The salmon wasn’t the thinly sliced kind; rather, it was a whole fillet that we crumbled into chunks. The dressing was simply Annie’s Naturals brand Cilantro-lime dressing. Very easy to prepare, and lots of flavor!
Kinda nice to have these things sitting the pantry just waiting to be used. Wonder what else is in there?
