Bacon Congee

Because I really love rice porridge a.k.a. congee,
I do various experiments with them over the years.
(Yah, I use many other ingredients besides the traditional ones)

  1. Your bacon congee looks and sounds delicious. I had congee for the first time 3 years ago in China. I rapidly learned that there is good congee and bad congee. Yours definitely is in the good camp. Have a wonderful day. Blessings...Mary
