Bon Jour

Welcome fellow foodies and others. I may not be JC, but I make a darn tootin fried rice. I think since I am not cooking french food I can't really be JC, but I think her concepts about cooking
and eating translate into any language.

Today I made Chicken Fried Rice. This has absolutely spoiled me for chinese food. I have tried a couple of times to order this and Lo Mein from a restaurant nearby, and all I can say is YUCK!
Greasy, nasty, and totally unacceptable. I do cheat and buy my white rice from the local chinese restaurant. It has a certain stickiness that only they can do, plus it saves me from washing another pan.

I add chicken, snow peas, bean sprouts, red pepper, eggs, peas, green onions, soy and tamari sauce, crushed red pepper flakes, ground ginger, small baby shrimp and of course rice.
I think I have done very well today.

I am still going to try JC's beef bourginon ( beef stew) sometime soon. I figure I can't make it
until I can spell it and pronounce it.

I have to work tomorrow until 2pm. I wonder what I will want to cook tomorrow night. actually I am thinking something with eggs. I know JC has lots of eggs in her cooking...omelet, fritatta
or something. I think that sounds tasty.

Anyway, the kitchen is clean, the fried rice is eaten, my tummy is full, and I have to be up at 4:30am, so this is it for me. I wish you all a very messy kitchen and to all a good night.

Bon Appetite
