Dad's Fried Rice -Memories of Childhood

 Funny how some foods bring back memories. This morning I channeled my dad. I made fried rice with some leftover Easter ham. It reminded me of being a kid on Saturday mornings. My dad would often make fried rice or Denver omelettes. He liked to cook and he told me that one of the first jobs he had in Oakland California where he grew up was a short order cook at a neighborhood restaurant. He said when you make fried rice you can use a lot of things you have leftover in the fridge. We always had plenty of left over rice. Thinking of you dad and all the things you taught me.
