Johnny Quest...Part 1

Like everyone else in the world I am feeling it. I have been feeling broke-ass since I quite my job and we blew through what we had saved moving into this joint.(Again, this was an ugly situation and I really don't feel like talking about) I have taken up, Cooking. *Gasps from the audience* I know what you are all thinking. The Capt. will break down peppers, and a few other veggies to keep in the freezer for quick meals. He calls it IQF'in them(Individual Quick Frozen). I call it making my job a hell of a lot easier. It is so easy to pull out cook up and eat. I don't have to do anything really. The Ultimate in lazy, until recently.
Since Marrying the Capt. we have rewarded ourselves every now and again with a dinner in a place that the population wouldn't go. I LOVE this great place called the Bombay House. MMMMmmm they have Jasmine Rice, curry, nann(garlic Indian bread), Lamb, Chicken, and Mango Lassi(a Mango yogurt drink). Look 'em up! you will see how tasty they are just by looking at their website! I took the Capt. to this old greek place and order Lemon Rice soup, Dolmadaes, Souvlaki, oh so tasty. This little greek place was sold and demolished. With the tasty local places I occasionally do crave these dishes .
So you might say Nat "aren't you a house wife?" why yes, yes I am. You might say, "Nat, don't you have Bon bons to be eating right about now?" Come on, the Bon Bons only lasted so long and I am in between seasons of Project Runway, Shear Genius, and Tabatha's Salon Takeover. Here it was only 2 days into The Capt. trip out of town and I am bored, Hungry, and not about to wait for somebody else to do something about it. Besides, to state again, I am broke ass and delivery is out of the question. I don't know what came over me...it had to be my lack of food and my tired of being helpless... I stood up and took charge! I was craving the special food I sampled from my sweet secret places and decided that I should try dishes, since I would actually like them and eat them. Here is my first dish! Tried n true, straight from my kitchen to this blog post. Try it, and lemme know what ya all think!


Lemon Rice Soup

1 Cup of Rice
4 Cups of Liquid(Chicken Stalk, Veggie Stalk...I use 2-3 Cups of stalk and the rest with water)
2 Eggs
2 Lemons
Pepper to taste
Salt to taste

Boil the liquid with rice for 20 minutes. Juice Lemons, and beat eggs into it. When the rice is fluffy and ready to go add the Lemon and eggs mixture slowly, let it cook for about 10 more minutes, the soup will be thickening up.

Ahhh yeah...just like Jimmy the greek. The Capt. always is posting some foodie thing, but think if it and the advanced performance, and my as the Lazy beginners. Try it and let me know how ya all liked it, or don't.
