fried rice reliably returns

Yup! Made some more because I'm boring and it's delicious. On account of my dedication to SCIENCE, though, I switched it up a bit. This time I threw in some frozen peas (note to self: allow to thaw first next time) and for the meat there was a can of tiny little shrimp. It tasted nice, though the canned shrimp entirely dissolved. This means there's a swirl of shrimp flavor in every bite!!

Yeah so I'm not doing shrimp again unless I splurge. Overall, pretty good. For completeness's sake here's all the ingredients: Garlic, green onions, red onions, peas, can of mini shrimp, leftover hotdog (CUT ON A BIAS), ginger powder, and heeeella soy sauce. Oh and lots of vegetable oil.

Another day, my friend and I also made what was later dubbed "Peasant Food for the Discerning Serf." First I took some bacon fat and sauteed up some O&G (what I'm going to call onions and garlic from now on). Having some Jalepeno left over, they were chopped and went in too (and then I was really dumb and rubbed my eye and I was reminded why I don't usually cook with Jalepeno). I threw in two eggs and scrambled, and then in went the baked beans and hotdogs. It was both delectable and affordable! I was impressed.

Deserving mention this week is the Day Of Grease. We got together and made bacon and eggs for breakfast, then used the leftover bacon to make BLTs for lunch (that we ate while watching the BLUE ANGELS, which happened to be gallivanting about the skyline while we were downtown, and which were (nerd voice) TOTALLY SCHWEET (nerd voice)). For dinner, we went to a British place, meaning our choices boiled down (hehe) to boiled or fried, and we both went with fried. Most decadent day eveeer. To my protesting innards I declared in the immortal words of Hedonism Bot (futurama) "I APOLOGIZE FOR NOTHING!! OHOHOHOHO"
