OK...just a brief history of the how's and why's! Long long ago in a land far away, but still kept in the memories, Melody got married and moved with her active duty Navy Sub Sailor spouse to Hawaii. There my first and best friend was to be Tessie (MeClaughlin). Tessie was fresh from the Phillipines and spoke Tagalog and very little if any English when she initially joined her Navy Sub Sailor Spouse in Hawaii. Well; food is afterall a "universal" language. :) We communicated initially through food. She made some wonderful foods which I learned to make through my repertoire of skills and experience, watching her. These things included my later "personalized" method of making Pork Fried Rice, Pancit, and Lumpia. :) All of these are great! I don't make these things nearly as often as I did while my family was growing up but I do still make them periodically. Never met anyone who did not like my fried rice! :)
Well fast forward to more in the present land of time. :) Nowadays; my first son born in Hawaii, is with his SO a native born and raised Chinese lady. :) She too speaks very little language. My granddaughter (rerun for most of you) is therefore Chinese American. Her mom does traditional ethnic type Chinese cooking the likes of which is never seen to my knowledge in the myriad Chinese restaurants out there. :)
Anyhow; this nutshell version is brought to you all because I have had a request from someone not only about my common userid "Tofugrammie" but asking as an "oh by the way" if I had a recipe for good fried rice. She alas did not know me at all or any of my history! Hi Clouddancer! LOL So later today, hopefully, will post my time tested, boy tested, crowd tested Pork Fried Rice recipe (substitutions will be allowed).
Hope you all have a great day!
Melody
