Eggless Fried Rice

This week I found myself with leftover zucchini, onion, and mushrooms-- I chopped them all into tiny pieces and fried them with butter, sesame oil, soy sauce, garlic, black pepper and leftover brown rice, and then added shrimp sauteed in lemon and soy sauce. I forgot the egg, but this meal was still delicious and easy; plus, it was created solely with ingredients I had on hand! New life plan: open Hibachi restaurant.

Blehhhh

I count the hours as they pass

one by one.  My feet

fall in line, miles to work and back.

Evenings ring of dinners prepared

and eaten,

of arms around me in the

kitchen,

bottles of wine shared in noisy

restaurants,

the mornings side by side.

I greet the sun with resolve.

I insist on forgetting.

Hour by hour I close my mind to you,

open it and breathe,

close it to you again. 

Going through the motions

I'm still eating. 

Proof:

I basically copied this recipe, except I measured everything to taste and eliminated the red pepper. 

Creamy and delicious.
