Without Turning

Boo: Do you think we should pray for the devil tonight?

….that’s what I overheard Boo ask my mother the night of the Boston marathon bombing.  I had to Google that one.

I tried the next day to change her context of the word “marathon” by impressing her with feats of endurance:

Me: See this guy? He ran the Boston Marathon…he ran for 2 hours straight.
Boo: 2 hours?! without even TURNING?

Then it’s just too much:

Boo: I don’t want to know about any more bad stuff in the world.
Me: But I always want you to hear it from me first.
Boo: It’s too scary.
Me: I know, but we need to pray for them.
Boo: How about I don’t know……and then YOU pray for them?

And then I saw this:

Quick and Easy Vegetable Fried Rice

by

Quick and Easy Vegetable Fried Rice via lilblueboo.com

I’ve shared my recipe for chicken fried rice before but I have a simplified recipe that I use as an easy backup dinner at least once a week. It’s easy because it uses frozen pre-cooked rice and you can add any vegetables that you might have in your refrigerator….or just grab a bag of Asian style veggies from the store.

You’ll need:

Vegetable or Canola Oil
Sesame Oil (optional)
2 tbsp chopped garlic (from the jar)
1 white onion
1 bag of Asian type vegetables (broccoli, snap peas etc)
2 packages of frozen pre-cooked white rice
2 eggs
Salt and pepper

 

Start with a few tablespoons of vegetable oil in a wok on medium heat. I add a teaspoon of sesame oil as well but that’s optional.

1. Cut up onion and with garlic to the wok. Cook until the onion begins to turn translucent.
