A while back I got to wanting some chicken fried rice. Of course the only options were to drive an hour away to the nearest Chinese place, drive to the store and buy some frozen or go to the store and get the stuff to make my own. I didn’t exactly know how to make my own so I found some recipes online to go by. I’ve made it several times and it’s now a family favorite.

It’s a really easy dish to make, pretty in-expensive as well. That is if you have some key ingredients on hand such as rice, oil (preferably olive but vegetable works, too), frozen vegetables and soy sauce. If you’re vegan or vegetarian feel free to omit the offensive meat products and you’ll enjoy it, too.

Another walking video. I walked to my Grandparent’s house on Monday (3/3/2008) and took some photos and video. I walked a total of 1 hour 15 minutes that day. I talk about plans for a new office, how I’ve been exercising and not a whole lot else. I also put a clip of our cat and the neighbor’s cat playing. They’re all the time pestering each other.

I started walking for exercise again last week. The first day I went walking I recorded a video. It was snowing, cold and very windy but I done it anyways. I recorded a video of the area I walked which was down to the pond below my house and up to the field above the house. Last week’s total walking time was 3.5 hours.
