I usually just have coffee, but I was hungry this morning. Plus I discovered a lone Trader Joe’s bao in the freezer.

never mind! Google is my friend. And yes, it is a Chinese bun. "Bao" is Chinese for "bun."

I didn't know Trader's carried them, though, so if I go later today, I will take a look for them.

The things we learn on this thread.

I made an omelette with spinach, chopped thinly slice ham, green pepper, and onion. I put Parmesan over it. Toasted half a Hawaiian roll and put olive oil butter on it. A few chopped raw veggies and olives on the side.

I dared make my way to the dreaded microwave and had a hibiscus tea.

Thank you for posting the thread, Emile. Hope Iris is OK.

They’re little steamed buns filled with pork. You just wrap one in a damp paper towel and nuke for 45 seconds. In the freezer case at Trader Joe’s.
