Does anyone know how to make pork fried rice?

chiff0nade is right on with his hints.I suggest you roast your pork after several hours of bathing in an Asian marinade (soy,hoisen,5 spice powder,etc.).Also, as you toss the final fry, add a dash of seseme oil,1/2 t. garlic, 1 t. sugar or MSG, and a dash or two of soy sauce.
You mention only two veggies. I am sure you would enjoy the many others that you find in most fried rice recipes. To wit:
finely chopped scallions, bamboo shoots, mushrooms.Add peas,broccoli floretts, baby leaf spinich, shredded carrots, cooked and shredded egg... on and on.... You will think you are in Canton!!! :- )

Best Cream-filled Donut in NYC is Currently Not Available

rogerf dahling! I wholeheartedly agree. Everywhere here, unless they are constantly cooking, one must track to a shop when cooks are baking for the day ie at some ungodly wee wee hour of the morning.

How Do You Eat Your Bagel?

Thanx Ed and all the commenters for all the interesting bagel experiences shared here.
I live in the midwest, and can rarely experience a real NY bagel. I have to travel to some remote bakery to find a barely passable excuse for a wonderful classic. I simply refuse to have another Dunkin Donut or supermarket blah. How I long for a FRESH PLAIN or POPPY SEED w/creme cheese and properly sliced LOX !!!! Fellow foodies do weep for me :-(

Cook the Book: 'Southern Belly'

Southern Fires in the Big D...no not Dallas! Detroit!!! LOL
Short ribs of beef to die for---and all the usual down South sides--sweet potatoes,mac & cheese, collards,fried corn, potato salad,cabbage,etc., etc.,
I am too hungry to think of them all...fish,steak,chicken--fried,baked,stewed and w/dressing! on a holiday, don't bother without reservations.

We're Giving Away a Truly Great Steak This Weekend

Hands Down...Carl's Chop House...a Detroit landmark where blue ribbon awards abound for aged prime beef.
I always order small portioned sides--salad w/Roquefort dressing,grilled veggie,plain butter only baked potato, and bone-in rib eye,medium rare w/ sauted mushrooms.
Actually, when in steak heaven, I aim to focus on the meat! Any other acoutrements and dessert are unnecessary.

When purchasing this kitchen item, money is no object....

I have a modern mixer w/ a bundle of assories that does everything.But I will never give up my old KitchenAid mixer. I purchased it for my mother 50 years ago--- yes you read right-- 50 years ago! When she passed away, I had it back--still in great shape !

I also treasure my two well seasoned well guarded cast iron skillets; I'm always in the market fo more cast iron ware (used of course). I've had much more but some foodie-ass cook(s) manage to abscound with my treasures.Oh well, "Dems da Breaks in dis busness"

Favorite Brand and Flavor of Potato Chips?

If you get a box lunch at Honey Baked Ham, they offer a great chip--Cape Cod--I think. For dipping, Ruffels is a plus. And for every day snacking or go with anything and everything chip, you cant beat good ol' greasy Jay's. Lays-- any kind runs a close second 'tho.

Stupid food myths.

WOW ! You guys have me sooo confused! grams,milligrams,percentages, fats,cholesterol,daily intake, etc. !! I personally do not have high cholesterol, but those I care about have. And we all love shellfish! I am not privy to nutritional values and measurements, but I like to keep up on healthy cooking and eating. Can anyone give me some simple ,plain talk about this? (like "Shellfish Values for Dummies") : - ) ?

Tamales! Who else loves them?!

Jennefur!! tamales R a multi-ethnic soul food! Eat them any way you like!
They are often served with toppings--chili, salsa,cheese,hot sauce,etc., so a fork is in order probably.
As kids (and grown ups) we ate them hand to mouth out of the shuck or scraped out w/ fingers--still the best way!!!
