A visitor's Special dinner!

I didn't expect to have a Recipe to blog for you in the middle of

the week. However, since we received a very Welcome visitor this

afternoon - I do! Who is this Special visitor we received?

It's Brandon's Heather... All the way from Alabama!

Of course, seeing her again Reminds us that someone is missing...

We sure are missing our Ranger... Huh, Bing?

But seeing Heather is also a reminder of how very

happy Brandon always is when they are together

Therefore, in honor of the last Happy dinner we all had together at

a Japanese steakhouse in Columbus, I decided dinner had to be Brandon

and Heather's favorites tonight... Teriyaki chicken and Fried rice!

While the rice was Chilling I sauteed boneless

chicken breasts I previously marinated in Soy sauce 

After the chicken was rested and cubed, I covered it in five tablespoons

of an organic Teriyaki glaze we like. Then I returned it to my skillet

My fried rice is Very simple. I call it my Beni-ha-ha rice because it's just that

close enough to the fried rice at Benihana's. First I prepare 2 cups of uncooked

rice to the package directions. After the rice is Cooked, I dump it into a large bowl

and let it chill-out in the Refrigerator while I get the rest of the meal together. About

half way through the chill-process, (roughly 10 minutes) I fluff the rice with a fork

to hasten the cooling process. After the rice is cooled I add four Scrambled eggs, and

a little more than a cup of Frozen peas, chopped carrots and diced white onion 

After two tablespoons of Butter melts in the skillet I add the

rice/veg mix and three tablespoons of Soy sauce. A little salt

and a few turns of the Pepper grinder finish it off to yum!

Heather approved. And, she said...

She thinks our Brandon would love it too!
