Saturday, 28 May 2011 ~porridge and home-made fried rice~

Ok, so I started my day off at 9am with a bowl of Uncle Toby's porridge made by mum <33. I know it sounds boring but it contains loads of oatmeal and milk which has alot of fibre and calcium, so you know its good for your body. My mum also added a teaspoon of pure Australian honey to everyone's bowl (my dad, my brother, herself and me) to give the porridge the most original, tastiest and healthy flavour. The calcium in the milk (in the porridge), is very useful to our bodies and will make our bones stronger. Fibre in the oats allow the wastes in your large intestine, to be more softer which lets the wastes pass out of our bodies easier.

I had an extended breakfast so it was kind of like a brunch at 11am in Good Kitchen(a local restaurant /cafe) after I had piano lessons. I had a portion of a bowl of macaroni with peas and small strips of chicken. Accompanied with that I had a some bacon slices, scrambled eggs and a slice of bread. Aah...and also some steamed rice rolls with scallops. This meal is, if I remember properly, $6.50 AUD with a choice of hot or cold drinks which are included in the meal. My mum and dad always drink hot milk tea after we've finished the foods.

For lunch, I had a very colourful and nutritious home-made fried rice! I washed the rice and placed it in the rice cooker. My dad did the rest. He combined a small pieces of scrambled egg, peas, corn, rice, carrots and chopped up bit of BBQ pork into the rice. I think the trick is to add a touch of salt in the combination. The peas, corn and carrots were originally in a pack bought together already chopped up. By letting the rice cool down for a bit before putting all the ingredients together, it will give the rice a nice texture when eaten. Before you mix everything remember to put some oil onto the pan. Everything is placed into the pan and by using a non-stick kitchen utensil (I forgot its name, sorry...), you stir the rice, corn, peas, carrots, BBQ pork and egg until you can smell the combination. Remember not to overcook it, or else the rice will start sticking to the pan (allow a tiny bit to). If you like the rice to be a bit crunchy, you can overcook the rice slightly.

That's all for today, I think I'm having congee tonight for dinner. I have to wash the meat so, until next time!
