I had a good green breakfast a little less than an hour ago.

This post will lead you through all the stages of that simple but delicious weekend experience.
Here you can see a small pile of green leaves in the frying pan. The fire wasn't burning under the pan when the photograph was taken. The leaves belonged to the green radicchio plants that grow in my backyard. In the following shot ...
... you can see one of my two hands holding a handful of leaves above the kitchen sink. A few seconds after the photograph was taken, I was busy washing the radicchio.

Here you can take a look at the little radicchio field behind my house.

I saw and photographed some cool little insects while picking the leaves for breakfast.
It seems that even my food & kitchen-themed posts have to include some small arthropods. Some weirdos can't escape their fate or their main obsession, not even for fifteen minutes or half an hour while being busy preparing breakfast.
Here you can watch my relatively clumsy left hand collecting the radicchio, while in the following photograph ...

... you can see a ladybeetle larva grazing the mildew on the upper surface of the leaf. This is the larva of the Psyllobora vigintiduopunctata ladybeetle. A few minutes later ...
... I photographed this adult beetle that was resting on the lower surface of another leaf.

I also found this much bigger, well-camouflaged green caterpillar.
Can't tell you what moth or butterfly will this larva turn into after the metamorphosis.

The whole summer I was eating the radicchio raw but today I decided to stew it. I mean, I'm not so sure that this is the right word for what I did in the kitchen. I kinda fried the leaves, but since those leaves released their water, the process looked a bit like boiling. You can see my reliable hand adding the olive oil in this photograph. These days, while still being hot around noon, start relatively fresh and humid, so I felt the need to eat something warm early in the morning. While the radicchio was being stewed or fried or whatever in the pan ...
... I scrambled two eggs in a green dish that proudly displays its simple but lovely design.

It didn't take long for the leaves that were covering the whole pan to reduce to a small pile that I used to form a small green circle in the center.
More often than not, I like to add a bit of milk to the scrambled eggs. You can see my hand doing exactly that in this shot. When the following photograph was taken ...

... the radicchio was ready for the next phase.
(Enlargeable)
It was time to add the slimy thing made of two eggs and a bit of milk.
Here you can see me, and by that, I mean "the almost entire me" not just a hand, carefully stirring the dish in the pan.

The breakfast had a bit of style and esthetics while still in the pan, the shapes and colors are kind of arranged into something fairly good-looking, but ...

... but then I screwed up everything during the transfer into the dish.

There are many pests on the plants.
True. Everybody loves the radicchio.
This little black animal is very unique, its color is very beautiful. @borjan
Yes. It's an interesting insect.
You right sir.
Lol The title green breakfast and the worm in cover remind me of Bear Grylls 😂😂. Worms in green vegetable are not tasty but got lots of nutrients as he said when he taste then..lol
Btw the green dish looks very yummy 🤤🤤. I hope you did not add worm!😜
Hehehehe, good to have a bit of insect meat in a vegan meal.
Yeah It's a fact 😀
🙂
👍
I never tried putting some eggs on green leaf, maybe I should try sometime. It looks delicious.
It's good. I would say that is worth a try.
👍
🙂
Buen provecho 😋 mi amigo @borjan , despertaste mi apetito...
🙂buen apetito
Pobre oruga , tal vez nunca llegue a ser 🦋 ..
Sí, esa es una de las posibilidades. La supervivencia no está garantizada.
Tengamos fe que llegue a 🦋✨.
El escarabajo amarillo , es encantador, único y muy estraño..
Sí. Es una pequeña y encantadora mariquita.
Y mi extraño , dudo que exista esa especie en mi país.
@borjan me das permiso copiaré de tu receta el echar leche a los huevos batidos.
Ningún problema. 😀 Puedes copiarlo.
Jajajaja 😆 gracias mi amigo
I also like to Cook this leafy vegetable. Its really very delicious and healthy.
Yes, that's a good kind of food.
Now I will know that chicory can be fried like spinach, nettles and purslane... what does it taste like? What does it remind you of? This is a very appropriate breakfast, because it followed a photo shoot of insects :)

It's bitter. I can compare it with wild asparagus but without the asparagus aroma.
Thank you, I’ll know, I agree, sometimes you want something bitter, even lettuce leaves, if you look into it, are quite bitter :)

The leaves used in preparing this delicacy must have been so fresh right. And I am sure it will really turn out to be amazing
Yes. Completely fresh they were. Fresh and refreshing.
The process is quite simple and the end result looks nice.
Yes. And it's a quick meal.
I spotted something the other day which looked pretty similar to that ladybeetle larva, but it was big ..like the size of the tip of my little finger. Any idea of what it could have been? ..brownish in colour I think.
Anyway, awesome photos mate. No idea which type of moth/butterfly that larva will turn into. I'm sure it will look really dope from all the radicchio around. Does it kinda taste like spinach?
No. This thing is bitter. Very different from spinach.

Great explanation...looking yummy 😋
Eating garden produce tastes great, but you have to be very careful not to eat the bugs with it. I've probably eaten a few tiny caterpillars in my lifetime !LOL
I do like scrambled eggs though, so I'm with you on that tasty ingredient !ALIVE !VSC
Have a great day, and stay AWESOME 😎

@borjan, I sent you anSunday is like a day when a person wakes up late and cooks breakfast and then sits and eats with pleasure and the way we see that made pictures of insects and they all look very beautiful.
Yes, that's the beauty of Sunday.
Yeah.
We call that here torta with eggs on it.
Cool name. 😃 We call torta the cake. Like a wedding cake, a birthday cake, stuff like that.
