Day 27: Challenging Beliefs
Not in the mood for eggs or cereal this morning I opened the fridge to see what else might quench my appetite. Hands filled with ingredients, I set out to make a breakfast soup of leftover couscous, jalapenos, azuki miso, carrot and leeks.
This meal was totally easy to put together:
- dump ingredients except miso in 3c. water (about 1 1/2 c per person)
- bring to a boil
- turn off heat
- put into bowls and stir in one spoonful of miso
- eat 
The best part is you can play with whatever you have leftover in the fridge to make this satisfying breakfast. No measurements necessary: it is all to taste!
What interests me about this morning’s experiment is that it isn’t a typical breakfast; I would usually have eggs, yogurt, or hot cereal. I guess the Pantry Purge has not only become challenging the idea of what is enough (remember we are on day 27,) but also re-thinking what we eat and when. I wanted soup, so I had soup. I think breakfast for dinner is a popular happening, but before now, I didn’t often think of having a sandwich for breakfast unless it was an egg and cheese.
I wonder how allowing an unquestioned habit to dictate our meals, actions, and/or beliefs affects happiness, sustainability, or any aspect of our lives.
