Jan 292012

I have been absent from this for a few months. 1st there was shifting house, then health issues then Christmas and New Year which bought more health issues.

I have declared that to be enough for this year. I sure hope so.

Yesterday I decided that there would be fried rice for dinner

I completed the misc en plus. This led me to delicious fried rice

I cooked it using sesame oil, adding the harder vegetables 1st. Oh I forgot

the carrots. Oh well. I cooked the vegetables and shredded diced ham until til softish then I added the rice and a sploge more oil, you know what a sploge is, don’t you? Almost add the end I added a tablespoon of water. I plated up and drizzled some sweet chilli sauce on top. Tomorrow I will eat the left overs, with grated cheese melted on top. Sort of Italian-Chinese. I like it, that’s all that matters.

[this post might look a tad erratic. I am sitting with my feet up using a wireless keyboard and mouse with my laptop plugged into the TV using it as a very large monitor. An interesting experience. This is all to be ready for when I have my knee replacement surgeries, so I will not have to sit at my desk with my legs down. ]

Sounds delicious. I like the Italian-Chinese fusion for leftovers. Brilliant work getting prepared so you can write/blog/tweet post knee surgery.
And may the rest of 2012 be much less eventful.

Hmmm … haven’t made fried rice (or any Chinese dish) in a while. Maybe this is the week to do it.

Yummmm. I use a mise en place most nights too. It really makes cooking, especially stir-fry, way less frantic.Hope your surgery goes well — what a great idea to use your tv for your computer.
