We stopped and got donuts this morning after we got to Abilene. We went to an Italian place for lunch.
Lunch
I had zero plans to cook dinner tonight.
Vince was outside doing something and he came in and we had this conversation:
Vince: How much trouble is it to fix fried rice?
Me: Not happening!
Vince: You can spend $50 on yarn if you make fried rice!
Me: I’m on it!
Fried Rice
I quickly cooked rice in the pressure cooker. Chopped some carrots. Grabbed some peas out of the freezer.
Fried Rice
I used the yellow bell pepper left in the fridge, onions, leftover pork chops, leftover ham, snow peas from the garden/freezer and fried some eggs. That was a super quick one pot meal.
Fried Rice
That was a good deal for me and we have fried rice for probably another two or three meals. I wonder if I can pretend I think he’s allowing $50 for yarn each time I serve that rice! I also cooked enough rice for a soup I want to make tomorrow. Another $50! Win/win/win for me! 🙂
Patti Tappel says
Vince, Vince, Vince, you could have saved yourself over $40 by running into town for fried rice! Probably not as good as Judy’s but whatever! You two crack me up.
Dottie says
That’s absolutely hilarious!!! 🙂
Susan says
What a crack up! That’s pretty good pay, even if it’s only one $50 for the whole pot of rice!
Verna A. says
And there goes the budget! Too funny!
Heather Watts says
You have just solved my dinner menu for tonight Thank you
marcille irwin says
I think Vince is the one that was bad…he broke the budget, again.
Dotti says
Are you sure your name is not Lucy and Vince is Desi?
Laura says
That’s a great comparison. 🙂
Mary Jo says
You are so funny! Even though I started reading your blog for the quilting, now I read it to get my daily laugh!
Verna Groger says
Judy, you’re a riot! You could post a sign in your kitchen, “Will Cook for Yarn”. 🙂
