Cooking on the Fly

     There is a blog I love called The Pioneer Woman.  She is truly a renaissance woman.  She does everything and then she blogs about it, which makes her more of a 21st century woman I guess.  She makes me feel bad about myself because I can't do everything and then take step-by-step pictures of it and then upload it to the internet and then write about it all.   I've decided that my blog is for those of us without the time, capital, emotional energy, and general desire to overachieve in the kitchen but still want to eat like we do.
     I'll probably drop some recipes here and there,  review food gadgets, give some light cooking tips and discuss cooking using my three basic tenants of a good meal: quick, inexpensive, and delicious.   By the way I rarely follow recipes anymore, it's too time consuming.  For example, last night I made up my own American style version of Fried Rice and it was hit.  Here's the how to: cook 1 cup Jasmine rice with vegetable bouillon until done, then in a large skillet saute 1/4 cup onions, 2 t sea salt, and 5 slices of honey cured bacon(I used a local brand) in 2 T of olive oil-you can start this halfway through the rice cooking time-until done but not too crispy!  Chop bacon coarsely and add rice to skillet stir until all of the flavors have mixed and mingled.  Delish!
