You guys.
Pretty sure I had a jump-up-and-down, shout-for-joy, high-five-my-dog, ballet-leap-across-the-floor, I-am-Fried-Rice-Maker-hear-me-ROAR moment in my kitchen yesterday when I tasted this recipe. After about 15 years of trying, I finally found a fried rice recipe that met my standards. And I am positively giddy.
Ok, but let me back up.

I have to admit that I did a double-take too when I saw my favorite green floating in a beautiful pitcher of red sangria on my recent trip to California with Dole. Other than herbs, I had never before even considered adding greens to my sangria.
But since I am slightly obsessed with arugula, and sangria is my drink of choice in the summer, I had to investigate.
Sure enough, it was brilliant.
So good, in fact, that I had to come home and make it for my friends. And then make it again the same week for another group of friends. And I may make it for some others next week. Everyone loves it!!!

Each couple put in $40 and there are prizes at the end for those with the most points. We are on week two and so far so good. I stuck to my allowed 3 sweets for the week and I will say it was pretty challenging. Yesterday, I baked some cookies that will be posted next week and I was tempted to dig in, but my husband and my teammate would have cracked the whip. :) It will be good for me to gain some self control, lol!

Last week I was in Portland and for a few days the week before that I was in Seattle. Portland was for work. It was really good to see some of my co-workers and even meet a few for the very first time. Since I work from home, I hadn’t got to meet some members of my team. It was awesome to get to hang out with them and I ate very well and even hung out with an awesome friend. I was in Seattle before Portland for the BlogHer Food conference. I had a lot of fun eating, meeting new friends and seeing old friends.

For years, I always used to think that I was. Or at least, I really really wanted to be. I bought and read and underlined and dog-eared books galore, and then placed them on beautiful bookshelves in my home with full intentions of picking them back up and taking them in a second or third time. (Or at minimum, I loved the idea of being able to flip through them at a book club or party to share some of my favorite quotes.)
