Did you ever want something when nothing else will do??

I don't care a whit for the whole breakfast, lunch, dinner status quo. I eat what I want regardless of the time of day. If eggs sound good, I'll scramble them whenever. Tuna with veggies and rice for breakfast is ok by me!

I would have made a breakfast burrito with eggs, chorizo, refried beans, Mexican rice, salsa, avocado, cilantro, and sour cream. Nothing wrong with eating Mexican food for breakfast!

Okay, so I went and look it up.

The principal difference between Mexican rice and Spanish rice is...Mexican rice uses Cumin whereas Spanish rice uses Saffron.

This explains why I like Mexican rice better than Spanish rice; I LOVE Cumin! Saffron really doesn't have much of a flavor, it's more for color than anything and a little goes a long ways. This also explains why Spanish rice is more yellow (Saffron) and Mexican rice is more red.

So there you have it.

I would totally eat Mexican rice for breakfast! Actually, I’d eat just about any kind of rice for breakfast. I lived in Japan for a couple of years, and they usually eat rice with every meal including breakfast. I like eating leftover Chinese food, pizza, etc for breakfast.

Before the COVID-19 thing, it wasn’t unknown for me to go to the local diner to eat an omelette for dinner, with a cup of coffee.

This morning, I woke up with a migraine. The thought of eating anything was gross, but after a couple of hours and some Aleve, I had a craving for eggs. So I made a scramble with sausage, cheese, onion, red and green pepper. Hit the spot real good, and made my head feel better too. No idea why. I love what Rickymouse said about all the things that help the body’s metabolism and immune system.

These are the unfortunate struggles of an amazing life.

"What do I want to eat today? I don't know, Mexican rice. It just came to me, so I had the time and means available to whip up a lofty recipe and make it to feast on. I had the leisure and enjoyment afterward of writing a post about it for my hundreds of friends on a forum where I'm pretty well esteemed for my writing ability and content."

These things cannot be fully understood in the first person perspective.
