    I just diced up some ham, and cooked some rice, to throw in the fridge. Now, when I decide to cook pork fried rice, later tonight, I'll have everything I need, ready to go.

    As a side note......I have all but given up, on cooking rice. I still can't get it right.
    I've resorted to using "Boil in bag" rice, but I have descovered that they now offer "boil in bag Jasmine rice"!

    Get yourself a real good rice cooker. Stay away from the cheaper ones that are under $50.00 - you get what you pay for. I use this one - ran me about $100.00.

    Then get yourself some premium rice. I use Nishiki brand. You can get it for about $59.00 for 50 lbs or around $34.00/25 lbs. I usually buy the 25 lb. bags.

    Nishiki is a sticky sushi style rice. I use it for pretty much everything that calls for rice. Follow the directions on the bag, but add about 1/2 cup of water more than the directions call for per cup of rice, even more if you want the rice "looser." You can't possibly mess this combination up. It"s perfect.

    I got out of court early today, and have been averaging 2 or 3 hours of sleep each night for the last week or so. Too tired to cook again. So I stopped here for a very late lunch/early dinner:

    The head chef's a friend who lives in the same town as I do. He hooked me up with a great meal. My side was a perfect serving of Jasmine Rice.

    I helped an elderly Neighbor wash his car today, I always do things for him because he must use a walker, every little thing I do for him is rewarded "Usually" with a 12 pack of beer,, (He MAKES me take it!) anyway, Today, after washing his car, about 1/2 hour later James (retired police Cheif ) knocked on the door, He brought me a NICE New York Steak and a Big baking potato for helping him . so Later , I am going to break out the George Forman Grill ,,

    Why bother with a George Foreman (I have 2 and love 'em) when you can use a simple frying pan?

    Venison, meat loaf recipe experiment.

    1.5 lbs Venison
    1 egg
    1 cup bread crumbs.
    1/2 cup A1 cracked pepper bold sauce
    1/4 cup diced onion
    1 tbs mushroom catsup. http://www.celtnet.org.uk/recipes/mi...ushroom-catsup
    1/2 tsp sage
    1/4 tsp garlic powder
    1/4 tsp origano.

    Combine in a mixing bowl.

    Pre heat oven to 350˚
    I used a cast fry pan coated with bacon fat spread the mixture in the pan
    Bake for 1.25 hour.

    Drain excess fat and oils.

    Crumble Blue cheese or a feta on top and broil to melt and brown the cheese.

    Fingers crossed.

    Needs work. Smells good the cheese was good but the meat mixture needs something. The meat is a bit strong in flavor. It needs something to sweeten it up a bit. I had Sweet Baby Rays BBQ sauce with it. I liked it. MAybe add fine chopped walnuts or pecans in the mix.
