Do you have a recipe for your fried rice?

Do you have a recipe for your fried rice?

Kinda. It's one of those things I just throw together. but this is the general idea:

I cook rice (whatever type you prefer--I use long grain white rice). While it's cooking, I dice some celery & onions. I'll cut up cooked pork or chicken (we prefer pork). I saute the celery & onions in some oil until they are tender. After the rice is cooked, I drain it, fluff it with a fork, then put it back into the pot it cooked in. (you need stirring room, LOL). I add some dashes of soy sauce, then stir until it's the proper shade of brown. (see what I mean about 'throwing it together?). I add the meat, the onions & the celery & some frozen peas. Then I bake it in the oven at 350 degrees for an hour or so.

The beauty of this recipe is you can add anything--cooked shrimp (but I would add them after the rice is baked or they will get rubbery), cooked chicken or pork, scrambled eggs (again after the rice is baked.). You could add some bell peppers to the celery & onions & saute them. Also, you could add peas & carrots instead of just peas. Basically, you can add whatever you like or have in the fridge--it's a great way to use up leftovers. That's why I made it--I made the pork tenderloin for dinner on Sunday with mashed potatoes & sauerkraut, so I had it leftover.

I know what you mean......it is pretty limited right now.
but they do have a few things....including kitchen I have some of those things, so tempting to get more.

 

[mommytotwo]

Thank you Missy. I have never heard of celery in fried rice, so it is neat to hear what different versions everyone has.

If you were stranded on a deserted island, what would you eat to survive?

 

[mommytotwo]

What three things do you eat that other people might think is disgusting or they would not think of trying?

 

[Pooh67_68]

Well most islands have fruit of some kind, so I would eat fruit and then there is always fish, if you can catch and cook it.

If you were stranded on a deserted island, what would you eat to survive?

Liver and Onions, Collard Greens, Fruit Cake.

Pirates League Sets Sail in Magic Kingdom June 29

Calling all scoundrels, rogues and ne'er-do-wells -- Captain Jack and the crew of the Black Pearl want YOU.

Beginning late June, the Pearl drops anchor in Adventureland for "The Pirates League," recruiting and training park guests of all ages in the scurrilous ways of buccaneers.

Each guest checking in at the plunder-filled recruitment office gets an official pirate name. Next step is the Muster Station where -- after applications of beards and eye patches, scarves and scars, earrings and gold teeth -- the new recruits leave their old identities behind.

Past a hidden portal and into the treasure cache, the new shipmates speak the pirate oath and have their official "pirate portrait" taken before being turned loose on an unsuspecting Adventureland -- and no doubt feeling right at home at the Pirates of the Caribbean attraction.

Guests can chose from three daily pirate packages:

*

First Mate Package: Includes bandana; choice of facial effects – scars, tattoos, fake teeth, earring and eye patch; sword and sheath; pirate coin necklace; one 5x7 inch photo and personalized pirate oath - $49.95 plus tax
*

Empress Package: Includes bandana; shimmering makeup – face gem, tattoos, nail polish, earring and eye patch; sword and sheath; pirate coin necklace; one 5x7 inch photo and personalized pirate oath - $49.95 plus tax
*

Captain's Package: Includes choice of costume/outfit from selection: choice of facial effects - scars, tattoos, fake teeth, earring and eye patch; sword and sheath; pirate coin necklace; three 5x7 inch photos and personalized pirate oath - $124.95 plus tax.

Newly donned swashbucklers can test their pirate prowess on the streets of Adventureland where they search for clues and discover treasures. And for mateys who need a little more training, learn the secrets for survival by the Captain himself during “Captain Jack Sparrow’s Pirate Tutorial.”

Just reading this to my DH this morning!! It really does sound like fun!! I only wished they had this when my kids were smaller especially my 2 DSs! I suppose we can still do it even though they are 21 and 18!!! Never TOO old to have some Disney fun, even if you have to dress up to do it!!

 

[Meriweather]

Heck, I want to do it!! Not sure if I can talk DH into it though
We'll miss it this trip.....too bad, I would have had the whole family do it.
I will have to work on him for the Sept. trip

Or....meet up with another DIS person there and do it with her.

 

[Missy1961]

[Meriweather]

Are you a scrapbooker? If so what type-digital, albums...?

 

[Pooh67_68]

No I am not a scrapper.

 

[BELLEDOZER]

I'm a scrapper, mostly do 12 x 12 scrapbook pages, but also do 8 x 8 sometimes as well. I like both, as they are good for different kinds of scrapping. Have a great evening!
