A place for random thoughts....

My new saying now is:
Same *itches different day!

Can I please get some new co workers!

 

can we say 2 more weeks and I get a weekend with the girls scrapbooking, I am so ready to get away from everything and just relax...

 

i will give you some of mine!

 

If you avoid them what makes you think I want them??????

 

What's for lunch?
I'm hungry

 

:idea:

 

Girl, me too. I wasn't hungry at lunch, so I didn't grab nothing! It's almost the end of the day....yippie!

I think I'm going to fix chicken fried rice tonight...yum! Of course, with DH gone the girls are going to have a fit to go out!:mrgreen:

 

How do you make your chicken fried rice?

 

Oh gosh I didn't mean from scratch....it's the kind from BJ's that you open and heat:twisted:

I need to find out how Mom makes hers, it's the best....oh man is it good!

I know she puts eggs, chicken (or hot sausage) bell peppers, onions, lots of soy sauce and some other veggies in hers...I need to find out though!

 

I have a recipe for homemade that is awesome....................I'll PM it if anyone is interested.

 

Shoot girl, you're gonna be busy with PM's, lol...Just post it!

 

Chicken Fried Rice from by Leeann Chin

1 lb chicken breast
1/2 tsp cornstarch
1/2 tsp salt
Dash white pepper
1 cup bean sprouts (opt)

1 tbsp vegetable oil
2 eggs, slightly beaten

2 tbsp vegetable oil
1 jar (2.5 oz) sliced mushrooms, drained
1/2 tsp salt

2 tbsp vegetable oil
3 cups White Rice
1 or 2 tbsp dark soy sauce
Dash of white pepper
2 green onions with tops, chopped

Cut chicken into 1/4 inch pieces. Toss chicken, cornstarch, 1/2 tsp salt and dash of white pepper. Rinse bean sprouts in cold water, drain.

Heat wok until 1 or 2 drops of water bubble and skitter when sprinkeled in wok. Add 1 tbsp vegetable oil, rotate wok to coat side. Add eggs: cook and stir till eggs are thickened throughout but still moist. Remove eggs from wok.

Add two tablespoons veg. oil to wok, rotate to coat sides. Add chicken, stir fry until chicken turns white. Add bean sprouts, mushrooms & 1/2 tsp salt. Stir fry approx 1 minute. Remove from wok to strainer. Add 2 tbsp veg. oil to wok, rotate to coat sides. Add rice, stir fry 1 minute, stir in soy sauce and dash of white pepper. Add chicken mixture, eggs & green onions, stir fry 30 seconds.


**Sounds more complicated than it is, it's very easy and very tasty. If you don't have white pepper, black works just fine. You can also substitute any vegetables you like, I like carrots in mine.

The beef and broccoli recipe from this book is better than anything I've ever had in a restaurant anywhere. Fresh ginger root is the key in that.

 

Thank you. We will try the recipe this weekend.

My mother has the beginning stages of Alzheimer's and I never asked her to write down her recipes. I am in dire need of a chestnut and cornbread dressing recipe for Thanksgiving and a good old Southern vegetable and beef soup recipe.

Thanks so much,
Grace
