How to make fried rice like they do at Chinese takeout?
tablespoon of oil into VERY HOT wok, bacon sliced into tiny pieces - cook until bacon is just starting to brown. Add your favorite veggies (I usually use onion, bell pepper and cabbage - all cut into small cubes). As soon as the veggies start to soften reduce the heat to low and push them to all to one side - add 1-2 lightly beaten eggs to the free area, and cook until they are not runny, then mix with the veggies and bacon. Add 1-2 day old rice to the mix and stir until everything in incorporated. While mixing the rice I add soy sauce, dash of salt and pepper, chipolte seasoning, and of course a dash of sesame oil.
Is a Small Kitchen an Excuse for Bad Cooking or Not Cooking at All?
Living in China the kitchens in apartments can be painfully small - and my kitchen is no exception (150 sqm with approx 2 of those precious sqm dedicated to the kitchen). I have 2 burners and a toaster oven, but manage to cook for 15+ people on a regular basis, and managing a small space with limited cooking instruments has made me a much better cook...
Oh crap, the dog ate the....
I can attest to how quickly greyhounds can eat unsupervised food. My mom had purchased an entire filet mignon strip, had cut 4 beautiful 3" steaks from it (leaving them on the cutting board in the middle of the kitchen), and proceeded to answer the phone - turning her back for literally 2 milliseconds - only to turn around and watch Nate finish off the last of all 4 steaks. His thanks for such an incredible meal? Throwing them up in the yard 5 minutes later. Believe me when I say that I gathered it up to try and salvage a stew out of the semi-digested pieces - of course my gag reflex brought me back to my senses.

We had a big Mardi Gras party here last night in Chengdu - I cooked gumbo for about a 100 people (with the help of a true coon-ass of course), and we boiled 100kg of crawfish. I still have a hangover, great night!
