What's on everyone's menu for today?
We're having another stir-fry, from Grace Young's book, Chinese Indian Vegetarian Fried Rice. This one has an interesting premise - hot cooked rice for a stir-fry, which has always been a no-no!!
From the book's decription: " When I mentioned that Chinese fried rice is always made with cold cooked rice, the chef explained that they use basmati rice to suit Indian tastes.
Basmati rice is naturally fluffier and drier than the more traditional long-grain rice, so it can be stir-fried right out of the pot."
Anxious to try this.

Retired and having fun writing cookbooks, tasting wine and sharing recipes with all my friends.

I did cook a big birthday breakfast this morning, so he will be fine for quite a while. We have a play to go to tonight and always eat light beforehand so we don't fall asleep. I'm thinking a chef salad with chicken will be enough as we always go out for a snack afterwards.
