Fried Rice Disaster
Today... I am majorly distracted. My mind is going every where except where I need it to go. I have so many things that I need to do.....................ahhhhhhh
I think it might be due to the fact I don't feel very well today either. I think I have Salmonella poisoning. (Just as a fun fact about today, I couldn't spell either Salmonella or poisoning.... I had to Google them... *facepalm* I have reached a new low.) Let me just tell you the story....
Last night I thought, "I should make something with the 250 pounds of rice my parents gave me!!" So I proceeded to put some cooked rice into a pan. Then it hit me like lightning! FRIED RICE!! I could do that! How hard can it be?
Answer: Very hard... Do NOT attempt if you are Charissa. But little innocent me went on trying. My phone was dying so I plugged it into the wall and I thought about looking up a recipe but I thought "Really I don't need one. It can't be that hard to make fried rice." Oh the waves of stupidity last night. So I proceeded to put things in the rice like, frozen peas and pre-cooked hamburger and soy sauce. Which at that point, everything was turning out pretty nicely... You might be saying "Well, Charissa how in the world did you get Salmonella poisoning?" Be patient I will get to that part of the story....
Anyway, I brain said "It isn't brown enough... put more soy sauce in." So my hands obeyed while my reason stood back and questioned. Soon it was too brown....but that didn't really matter that much, right?! I'm young... I can intake loads of salt, no problem! Then things got really fun.
Fried rice has eggs in it. Yep. eggs. Oh the joy of putting raw eggs into my fried rice. The pan was sort of warped in the middle so everything sunk down to the center. But the pan was hot enough I thought for sure that they would just cook up really quickly in the middle of the rice. WRONG! They didn't... they mixed with the soy sauce and I couldn't really tell if it was the eggs or the sauce that was making the rice look wet.
Now you are probably giving yourself a face palm and screaming "NOOOOOOO! You threw it away right??? Please tell me that your threw it away."
I wish I could say that I threw it away...... but I didn't! I was so hungry and I didn't make anything else! So I ate it all. Let me just say, that is the last time I will make fried rice.... NEVER AGAIN!
So here I am at my desk, feeling really cruddy, but I want to say, I went through all of that for you all. Learn from my mistakes, read a recipe. Everything will turn out a lot better. A lot better.
