This is what my new used wok looks like after a grease fire. I was given this for Christmas from my Uncle David and had not gotten a chance to use it, until tonight. I planned to make pork with carrots (a variation of beef with broccoli) along with Rachael Ray's special fried rice. This is something that I make (one variation or another) about once a month, at least. We all love Chinese, but can't really afford it all the time.Generally, I am a great cook, but I don't think that I good do what some of the chefs on Food Network do. I don't do well with fire, and in all of the years that I have been around the stove, this was my first fire. At least I didn't do what my sister did when she had a grease fire. She threw gobs of water at it, I threw baking soda and it went out. Not before almost getting my cabinets. I have seen Mark put out a few grease fires (all small) and his went right out, not mine. It hissed at me and then grew several inches before dying a slow death. Needless to say it will be awhile before I feel like fried rice, at least at home. We ended up having KFC for dinner.
In other news, Mark is now feeling much better. I am the one who feels like death warmed over, probably due to inhaling to much smoke (shortness of breath, stabbing pains, the works). The snow has also started to fall. Depending on where you look, we are supposed to get anywhere from 3 to 12 inches of snow. Sierra-Lynn and I wanted snow (to build a snowman) but not that much. I also have an interview with a woman named Teri tomorrow. If all goes well, this time tomorrow I will be putting my degree in child day care management to good use. Wish me luck.
What would this blog, or my life for that matter, be without a little blond girl named Sierra-Lynn Michelle Bennett. Here she is showing off one of her birthday gifts. Yes, it has taken me this long to get her to wear it. It also has a beautiful red coat that goes with it, but she wouldn't let me put it on her to take a picture (just think Eloise at the Plaza).

The dress is gorgeous...the wok, not so much. But on the bright side you got it put out.
Yeah, Uncle David is going to be mad about the wok (it was his for years). I may use it again, but not for a while.
And thank you for saying that about her dress, it is one of the only things that I have made her that she will wear. Her Papa loved for her to dress up in pretty dresses and ever since he died, she has not wanted to wear any dresses. She did the same thing after Nana died and he was the only person who could get her to wear them again. I guess time will tell if she turns back into my girly girl again of not.
