Chicken Fried Rice!

Yesterday, I tried my hand at making chicken fried rice.  That fact that I am alive here today to tell you this tale should be label my endeavor as a success.  I got the recipe from the internet and with the watchful of my Asian roommate, I was able to successfully put it together.  I cooked the chicken, steamed the rice, cut up vegetables, and cooked an egg.  In the end, I tossed them all in a wok and cooked it through.  Along with my ability to make egg drop soup, I can practically make a full Asian cuisine.  Not really, but I tell myself that.

Next up, making Pakistani food.  Personally, I'm pretty far from this since my attempt at daal was an epic fail.  My mom even measured out all the spices and tossed them in a bag for me.  Asian works for the time being.

Third block has begun.  I've found that I have more free time and I am still able to keep up with my work.  This is a good thing, since I'll be taking it easy starting at the end of this week.  I'm even thinking about participating in the bhangra group for the AUC talent show.  Along with the martial arts group, there are a lot of things to try out.  Almost seems like undergrad again.

On Sunday, we watched the USA vs. Canada Olympic ice hockey game.  The underdog US team won against the very talented Canadian team.  The crowd at the casino was ruckus and drawn on very national lines.  Every goal with followed by cheers for the US or Canada.  Glad to see people getting into hockey, even if it was mainly because of the national bragging rights.  Personally, I was a little conflicted watching since Marleau, Thornton, Heatley, and Boyle all skated for Team Canada.  Whenever they came on the screen, I looked away because I couldn't bear rooting against them.  I was called out a couple of times, but we're also talking about my favorite player in hockey.  Overall, it was a very entertaining game.

Before we went to the casino, we also got together and played some StarCraft on campus.  It was a fun couple of hours.  We had 5 people so we played from FFA and then a game of 3v2.  Hopefully, we can play a few more times before the semester ends, depending on everyone's schedule.

Eight more weeks until I get to go home..
