First of all… I just have to say THANK YOU to my cute little brother and sis-in-law. They got me one of these for my birthday in the spring… (It just came about a month ago. There were complications with delivery. :)
Jealous? You should be. Aren’t they good to me!!! It has been so fun to experiment with and it’s just so nice to have light is my light-lacking apartment. THANK YOU!!!
Second of all… this is a really yummy version of fried rice. A real twist. Shrimp is growing on me. My friend shared a bag with me as they were cleaning out and moving, so it has been fun to experiment. Texture is a big thing for Doug and he wasn’t quite ready for the peanuts and pineapples, and though he knows better then to tell me so

I'm glad you like your photo booth, but I feel bad that I didn't get anything for the other brother's and sisters birthdays. Your birthday just happened to hit when we were doing good with money. After some seen and unseen expenses, we just couldn't afford to get the other brothers and sisters presents when their birthday's hit. So, siblings in-law, if your reading this, we love you too, and will get you all really cool presents on your birthdays, someday.
Oh sure, Amy, where's my photo booth? Sheesh, all my delectable dishes just going to waste, and some cooking blog that will now never be . . . I hope you can sleep at night. :) I am so hit and miss with b-days. And besides, when you guys make it big, we're expecting you to support all the rest of us!
And this recipe looks really good--I'll bet Seth would actually like fried rice (I always picture Daddy saying, "Flied Lice!" in his funny accent!) if it had shrimp instead of ham or pork, like I usually make it. He'd probably be with Doug on the nuts, though . . .
