• lazy food entry

  I made some chicken rice soup for my dad and kept some for myself.  This is simple, just brown some chicken, add some veggies to deglaze the pan and simmer them for a few hours.  I threw in some rice near the end so it won't be too soft. 

  
   

  add onions, carrots and celery, throw in a bay leaf and I also added a few slices of ginger
  

  in a few hours... (actually, I strain the veggies out and put new ones in)
  the older ones have no more flavor.  But sometimes I just leave them in
  because I don't want to waste them either. 
  

  I also made some shrimp chow mein today
  

  oh yeah... the quiz
  
  

  1.  True – I did it once.  My face was so red from the embarrassment that it matched the suit.

  2.  True – I sat there for about 20 minutes while being lectured by two cops on safe driving.  I took a turn too quickly and skidded across a lane.  Won’t you know it, the cops were nearby and pulled me over.  Luckily I didn’t get a ticket. 

  3.  True – these are gifts.  I took them back to my condo when I was cleaning out my dad's basement.  I’ve never used the knife for hunting.  The axe was useful on several camping trips.  It was handy for chopping up firewood.  But the campsite also sold wood that was nicely chopped up.  I got some strange looks when I carried it up the elevator.

  4.  False – I cannot get past the smell of durian.

  5.  False – I can handle moderately spicy but not hot and spicy.  My bf on the other hand has chili sauce with a lot of food.
