Please do not even go there... :D

This - some Italian restaurants in USA offer meatballs as an appetizer and spaghetti & meatballs dishes as an entree. I know that they’re not eaten together in Italia. I actually only learned of this in 2010 from other moms at the playground. Because I’ve enjoyed spaghetti & meatballs or spaghetti & sausage my whole life, I’m not that interested in changing my pasta preferences.

BEC is supposed to refer to me - brat eating crackers. Because the crackers are loud. I’m not familiar with BEC related to bagels.

Breakfast: oatmeal and a scrambled egg.

I decided to try it with ketchup. It wasn't as bad as I thought, but I won't be rushing to try it again. I may have to try the infamous BEC SPK after all.

Think of kaya as a type of coconut jam. It's usually thick (consistency of peanut butter vs. grape jelly). In SEA it's usually served spread on toast with a pad of butter (think of those hotel pads of butter... ). A popular breakfast for people in Singapore/Malaysia is soft-boiled eggs (with soy sauce... although my preference is just a sprinkle of salt instead) with kaya toast on the side and a hot coffee/tea... You mix the egg with the soy sauce and you dip the toast in.

I used to be able to buy kaya here, but for the last year or so, I haven't seen it in any asian supermarkets. Not sure if it's a casualty of the supply chain or lack of demand (it's a SEA thing).

I'd post an image but getting a weird error (see bottom of the message). Here's a link to someone's homemade version, but an orange coloured version can be found manufactured by YEO.

Hm, learn something new everyday! I'm gonna have to try this.

Sorry, this one is not about you. BEC = baconeggcheese. All said as one word in NYC. Eaten on either a bagel, or soft roll.

Eggs Benedict, fried potatoes and grits delivered for breakfast. A bit heavy on the carbs but tasted very good.

Taken in lower quantities, it's not bad. But it can be just as cloying as any other jam. I often have trouble finishing a whole can, but I try every once in a while. Just so you know, it's usually green or greyish-green or light brown if you get it in SEA (flavoured/coloured by pandan leaves). But the YEO version is an interesting shade of orange. But it's similar.

Lunch: flounder cooked in olive oil, white wine, lemon juice, olive juice. I just kept adding things and it kept tasting good. I will have that for dinner too.
Also had a sweet potato.

It doesn't refer to you in that case. It's bacon egg and cheese.

I just did a big food shopping and I might make a salad later (otherwise tomorrow). It will be the first time I've made salad since August; it will just have lettuce, tomato, and cucumber.

Well the non sandwich definition of BEC doesn't mean crunchy croutons or crunchy anything either. It is referring to an annoying person.
