So, I moved back into my dorm. It's not so exciting, but I'm a senior and that's pretty cool. My good friend and I were supposed to go out to dinner and it didn't happen, so I cooked. I decided to make a different kind of rice and decided on fried rice. I searched the internet for something easy and not so bad eat and found the below recipe.

Conclusion:

So I really enjoyed this! It didn't taste the way you would think, but it was really really good. It was even better the second day after being warned in the pot. I also added greenpeppers and put a bit more soy sauce in it than the recipe calls for, because I wanted it to have that browning look. I also sauteed some shrimp and put some cajun seasoning on it. Ever notice that food tastes better when it's left over for the next day?
