Day 8

Day 8 - Egg Foo Young

There's nothing terribly spectacular to see here. Just a glorified omelet with steamed rice and broccoli. Carry on!

The Egg Foo Young had ham, onions, garlic and ginger in an egg mixture. I didn't make it, so I don't know the specifics. Our sugar canister was a casualty of cookery, though. Please don't leave a plastic container near the stove and have the burner on high. The results are unpleasant.

Day 3

Day 3: Roast chicken, egg & cauliflower curry, spinach

Not the best picture but.... This was a yummy meal. Well, except for the spinach which tasted rather ODD. The rice is plain old steamed jasmine rice, cooked in the rice cooker, nothing fancy. The chicken however is a Cantonese Roast Chicken that my better half makes. The weird blob and egg in the bottom of the picture is cauliflower/boiled egg in curry sauce. Don't ask. The egg was good, but I over cooked the cauliflower. Whoops!

There are a lot of types of rice! For the majority of the dishes we make at home, they will be made with jasmine rice because it's what we buy. In 25 pound bags. We go through about 1 bag per month with 5 of us (2 adults, 3 kids ages 10, 8, 6). We also give my dad about 5 pounds or so a month because he LOVES rice. And well, we have plenty. If I make a dish with something OTHER than jasmine rice, I'll be sure to note it. I'll also link to recipes if they are available. :-D
