Yay! Someone is trying it! I never get tired of it because there are so many different ways to serve it up.
Your breakfast sounds fab; when my stomach is more settled again, I'll try that.
I did try Congee, it was good. I had it savory one morning and sweet the next.
It came out too thick though. I used one cup of brown rice and six cups water in the little crock pot. I had DP dump the remainder of the Congee in the compost bin today and he asked me if that stuff was Gorilla Glue or what?!? (He's a whiner.)
I think 8 cups of water to 1 cup brown rice in a crock pot would work. I might try congee with black rice, that would probably be really good with a poached egg and hot sauce.

Here's a quote I ran across when researching self-advocacy for children with special needs that I like: "Our subconscious picks up on each positive action we take on our own behalf, lifting the spirit and deepening our self-respect." Kat James
