Then I remember, Duh! Fried rice! I should make fried rice! So I do.
TMI's step-by-step fried rice recipe (serves 2)
1. Cook some rice. You'll need about 2 cups cooked.
2. Gently beat two eggs.
3. Get out the soy sauce...you'll need it later.
4. Finely dice 1/2 onion and 1 entire green pepper.
5. Spray a non-stick frying pan. Turn on the heat.
6. Scramble the eggs.
7. Add the onion and green pepper.
8. At this point, you might be getting hungry and anxious for your delicious fried rice to be ready. That's where the carrots come in. Have some on hand to munch.
9. Let the onion and green pepper cook for a minute or two.
10. Add some soy sauce. Not too much. You can always add more if you need to. Aren't you glad you had it sitting on the counter already?
11. Add the rice. 
15. If you were adding cooked chicken or shrimp, you would throw it in now. But trust me, this recipe stands on it's own just fine. 
18. Stand back and admire your work. Doesn't that look delicious?
11. Add the rice.
12. Marvel at how that 1/2 cup of uncooked rice turned into 2 cups cooked.
13. Contemplate getting out a bigger frying pan.
14. Realize you don't want to do more dishes, so decide to stick with the pan you are already using.
15. If you were adding cooked chicken or shrimp, you would throw it in now. But trust me, this recipe stands on it's own just fine.
16. Stir in all the rice.
17. Let it cook for a few minutes, stirring frequently.
18. Stand back and admire your work. Doesn't that look delicious?
19. Turn off the heat and let it cool for a minute or two.
20. Enjoy!

I never knew fried rice was that easy to make. I'll have to try it; my husband loves fried rice.
