Student-to-student advice

Student 1: (frowns at her partner) Finish the paper.

Student 2: ... uh, I didn't bring a pencil today

Student 1: (sighs) What were you thinking? 
                 You came to school, not a party

Fried Rice with Kale and other stuff

I have about ten students who leave my class early to go to lacrosse practice.  
Today, I had them stay for a few minutes to get the worksheets. And this conversation ensued.

Student 1: "Miss, I don't know why they have to miss class.  All they do is lose."
Student 2: "Yeah, they haven't won a single game all season"
Student 3: "They lose all the time, by a lot of points."

Me: (grabs the plastic tyrannosaurus rex and points it to the class)  Hey now! We are all winners at heart! 

Silence....

Student 1: "They may be winners at heart, but definitely not winners in lacrosse"

Anyways, after a long day of teaching and night class, I went home and decided to make fried rice for dinner.

Recipe: Fried Rice with Kale and other stuff

Keep in mind, I am totally making up these proportions.  
I didn't measure anything.

Makes 1.5 servings or 1 hungry person serving

2 cups leftover white rice
2 tablespoon soy sauce
2 tablespoons rice wine
1 tsp sugar or agave
1/2 tsp fish sauce
1/2 tsp rice wine vinegar
1/4 tsp sesame oil
1 tsp oyster sauce

1 egg + 1 tsp water (scrambled with dash salt, garlic,  and pepper)

Diced vegetables
Kale, onion, carrots, broccoli, scallions, frozen peas

Optional stuff to add in
pineapple, cilantro, kimchi (not both, that might be weird, wait no, maybe both, do what you want)

1. Cook egg first, like an omelette. 
2. Take out of pan and let cool.
3. Saute veggies (onions, carrot, broccoli, scallions) in vegetable oil for a few minutes. Add kale last. 
4. Turn up the heat and add the rice.  Saute for a few minutes with the veggies.
5. Add the soy sauce mixture. Really stir it around. 
6. Roll up the egg, chop it up and add it to the rice. Stir.
7. Finish by adding frozen peas and cilantro. Turn off stove, the peas will lose color if you cook them too much.

I ate the fried rice with kimchi on the side. 
Mama O's kimchi.  YUM.

I forgot to use butter. I wanted to use butter because I see all the hibachi chefs add butter when they are working their fancy grill. But I forgot.  
I guess I'm no hibachi chef.  Just a girl with a pot and a yellow spatula.
