Good morning kn0tty, Joey (albeit super early) and Dale

Need to figure out a way to get my rice a little crispier, more fried like consistency. I made the rice the night before and tried frying it in a pan with a little sesame oil before combining all the ingredients. Ham fried rice sounds good.

Glad you didn’t have to work the full 8 hours, Joey!!

Good morning Sara
I think it depends on what kind of rice you use but don’t ask me which is best

That is a very good suggestion. We have jasmine on hand. I will google for different kinds.

Good afternoon all...I need a nap.
I soooooo wish I could sleep and actually FEEL like I've slept. LoL

Sounds like everyone is doing well...finally we have nice weather in the forecast, has been raining for I can't tell you how long.

Good evening y’all, we just finished with some spaghetti and garlic bread. Now I’m having some cocoa mint tea with chocolate creamer.

‘Hi Lori

Tell me about it, sometimes I seem to feel more tired when I wake up

We’ve had a lot of rain but I think it’s about to come to a screeching halt. Gonna get miserable hot now.

Did you find anything?

Hahaha yeah, this is what I found: Fried rice is usually made of the same rice as plain white rice, long grain or jasmine rice. Home style friend rice, typically uses day old rice, but restaurants will use fresh cooked rice, just made with less water to make the rice a bit less sticky. Jasmine is what we have. Guess I need to work on my technique or have one of those hibachi grills installed

I make the rice in the instant pot. Don’t think I can reduce the water.

Spaghetti with garlic bread sounds like heaven. We haven’t had that in awhile. Your tea sounded yummy too!!

 

[Sara Love]

Ohh and the jasmine rice was actually bolded in my google search. I didn’t bold it.

‘Yeah, I researched it too and saw the same. Knew you were supposed to use day old rice but wasn’t sure how much the type meant .... apparently not a lot.

That tea with the chocolate cream creamer is delicious, you should try it sometime

Such a sad time we are living in. We are better than this!

Your quotes this morning are perfect. Always love reading Maya Angelou’s words.
Was up late watching the live news feeds. Buffalo was not spared but we are extremely fortunate that it wasn’t worse.

Good morning Dale, Sara and Lurkers

Very sad times we are living in. I just wish people would find a more peaceful way of protesting. Putting more people out of work is not the answer!!!
