Chinese Olympics & Fried Rice

This might be one of the best Friday nights we've had in a while. I'm convinced that the harder you work during the week, the more refreshing are your restful weekends. I've always been a work hard - play hard kind of guy, so lately it's been just that.

To celebrate the kickoff of this well-deserved weekend, we combined some Day 1 Chinese Olympics with some homemade fried rice. Both Carrie and I couldn't get the thought of some kind of Chinese food away from our growling stomachs for some reason (I'm convinced that visits to American Chinese restaurants will have a nice peak this summer as Americans watch the Olympic games in China, but we'll see). Speaking of the Olympics, did you know that MSNBC is offering live and on-demand coverage of all of the Olympic events, including badminton, fencing, and even JUDO?? We've been enjoying some soccer tonight.... Though Japan had at least 4-5 close goal attempts, the US pulled away with a 1-0 victory in its first match.

the wok finally got a little action...
