After a rousing success last night with the ole tried and tested carbonara, I have decided this evening to make something that I have never made before! I am going to try and make fried rice. I had a quick peek so see what Jamie had to say on the subject. Nothing apparently (it's probably in Delia, right next to how to boil and egg). So I Googled....whoa it's been fifteen minutes....time to check on the boiling rice....

So I just phoned my mother to ask her how does one drain rice when the only draining implement one owns has holes that are larger than the rice. And she had an instant and quite brilliant reply: stick a piece of kitchen towel in the bottom of the drainer!!! I mean she should write into one of those magazines that have articles about repairing scratches CDs with peanut butter or something!!! My mother rocks!

And now I have boiled rice cooling in my fridge....just the scary frying bit to go!! Must dash, I need frozen peas!
