Fried Rice for a group

Pork Fried Rice a' la Scott

Pork Fried Rice a' la Scott


This feeds 9-13, usually with a little left for midnight snack.

10 cups cooked white rice

1/2 hour before rice is done this stuff needs to be made ready:

1 to 1-1/2 bunch celery chopped up relatively small
1 whole onion chopped (1/4″ or smaller)
1 to 1-1/2 cup carrots cup thin/small
3-6 bunches scallions chopped 1/4″
frozen peas maybe 3/4 – 1 cup
1-3 lbs pork cut into 3/4″ or smaller pieces, use less if you want.
bacon – cut off 1/4 of the slab then cut up – dice that 1/4 slab
3 eggs scrambled (small curds) by themselves
salt
soy sauce
sesame oil – optional (adds character of flavor.)

in large soup size pan brown bacon.

Put in pork and fully cook

when done, you gotta decide if that is too much grease and drain out what you don’t want – I usually leave enough in to keep the flavor it gives to rice.

remove pork/bacon and put in carrots and a cup or so of water – high heat cook until starting to tender. By the time everything is done this makes the carrots fully cooked. I personally don’t like cooked carrots but they are good for me so this is my ‘fix’ – cook the living daylight out of them. If you like carrots cook them less – the veggies are supposed to have a little crunch.

add onions and peas cook a little more (until onions start to turn clear 1-3 minutes at high heat), make sure peas are warmed through.

add the remaining stuff except eggs and heat up (keep them crisp)

add the pork/bacon back in, stir, divide into 1/2′s into another same size pan. If the meat has cooled (it should still be hot) add it with the veggies so it will be hot about the same time the veggies are just “so”.

add soy sauce, salt, sesame oil to taste

add 1/2 eggs to each pan stir

add 1/2 rice to each pan, mix and add soy sauce, salt to taste if needed.

done.

You can add other things instead of or in addition to what is listed above:
shrimp, little red hot peppers, red/yellow/green bell peppers, chicken, etc.

FREE Graphic Design + Sale on Full Color Printing

Yes, we’re offering a great deal with FREE graphic design and discounted printing (20% off). The printing items are all full color both sides (except for the stickers of course). We’re offering Business Cards, Brochures, Post Cards, and Stickers.

The graphic design is FREE for the first 25 customers who simply comment to this post that they intend to do so and then purchase one of the products we have on sale.  (HINT: don’t think that just because there may be 25 posts that you missed out, until the 25th paying customer actually sees/approves their final art and pays you still can get ahead of them) .  We will give you enough FREE design time to get most jobs completed. For Business Cards and Stickers it is 1 hour, for Post Cards and Brochures we’ll give you 1-1/2 hours. If you order 1000 Business cards or more, we’ll send you a link that you can choose a graphic/photograph to include for FREE. Yes, if you order multiple items you will get the FREE design time for each item, ie. 1 Business Card +  1 Post Card purchase = 2-1/2 hours graphics. So, if your BC layout only takes 1/2 hour you have 2 hours toward your Brochure.

Example Business Card

Why the sale and Why the FREE graphics work? We’re trying to raise extra funds for my favorite charity – my Church. We have a yearly “Jubilee” in August. This year, the slowed economy is squeezing the budget. So, we’ve decided that we will give away up to 40 hours (worth about $1800) of our design time to help the cause. In addition we’re giving 100% of the net proceeds (profits) toward the Jubilee until we reach our goal. Our church’s Jubilee has been a blessing to so many folks we want to do all we can. You save $$ and get FREE graphic design / Layout while you help us reach our goal.

TO GET THE FREE DESIGN YOU MUST comment to his post that you are taking advantage of the sale. If your design time is higher than we are giving away free we may be able to swap tweets/blog posts for additional time – of course that is subject to our valuation of your tweets/posts. As long as you have your ducks in a row the design time we’ve allotted should be sufficient.

When you comment to the post, be sure to use a valid email address. Our blog will not display your email address publicly, but we will email you with a toll free telephone number for the consult if you prefer that to email. We will not spam you or anything like that.

Here is the pricing (be sure to come back here and comment): Agapeink.com Sale on Full Color Printing. You can post a link to your own website/blog/twitter or whatever in your post. If you purchase, and as long as it is thoroughly PG (by my definition) I will leave it up until and unless I delete the entire thread. This FREE graphic design offer extends until the end of the referenced sale at AgapeInk.com.

Which Cell phone

I am picking a cell phone. Am sticking with Verizon. The service is the best. I hope if they (Verizon) buy Qwest they turn Qwest’s “spirit of dis-service” into spirit of service (Like their slogan already says).

I need a different phone. The one I have is great. I don’t really want a different phone. I need a different phone. I am changing my job from worker bee to manager/marketer bee. My current phone, Motorola W385, has served me well. I bought it because it has good reception which is important here in the NW and it is rugged. I need to switch to a sorta mobile office.

Verizon, I will not change that.

So, we have 3 choices (maybe by next month when I can upgrade more?): LG Versa, LG Voyager (aka VX10000), LG Dare, maybe the HTC Touch Pro.

Features that matter most to me:

  • QWERTY keyboard
  • Easy to use navigation
  • Rugged
  • I think I want visual voice mail – that way I won’t have to write things down!?

Ok, after a few weeks and finally touching a Versa with keyboard, I have decided on the Versa. The Voyage seems to flimsy – I don’t trust it. Found reports of software issues on the Voyager. The Dare has a bigger screen than the Versa but only the touch screen QWERTY keyboard. I messed with the Blackberry versions, don’t like how small the keyboard is and don’t like the added cost for added features. I don’t think I need all the Blackberry software and it actually seemed to be a confusing mess to me. I don’t want to take a college course to use a stupid phone.

So, the Versa has a large QWERTY keyboard (module). It makes the phone a little thicker, but also protects it. It has the features I am looking to add. Plus, you get 3 screens that you can customize with your icons. That solves (I hope) another annoyance with my current phone – it takes 12 or so clicks before you get to the place to start typing in a message.

click, click, – “B”, click, click, click, “y”, click, click, “e”

Here is a photo of my family. This was taken just prior to my oldest son Roy’s trip to the Ukraine to work with CMO (Carpathian Mountain Outreach).
