Thursday, 11/2: Fried Rice

Fried Rice is a staple in our home. A wonderful kitchen cleaner. At least it was a staple until Karen declared that she was over Chinese food. But we haven't been to the grocery store this week and I needed something to cook, so I quietly made it hoping that Karen would eat it. She said "Nice meal, Mommy." I reminded her that she was over Chinese food and she said that she was over being over Chinese food. She's like that. Hard to keep up with what to feed her.

I had some leftover Basmati rice. I cooked up a green bell pepper and about 4 small "yummy" orange peppers and some garlic. I found half a bag of frozen "Asian stir fry veggies" and half a bag of frozen edamame and added those. And I scrambled three eggs with a bit of soy sauce. Mixed it all together with a bit of teriyaki sauce, soy sauce, white vinegar, lemon juice, sesame oil. Very yummy indeed. And lots of leftovers, which is always great.
