Karen’s Opinion

This week’s question for Four Foods on Friday asks, what can you make with eggs, meat or poultry, vegetables and a starch?

When my dad served in the military, he was sent to Vietnam to fight in that conflict. While there he ate a rice dish he called Kow Pod. He tried to duplicate the recipe and we still make it in our house. My sister in-law is from Thailand and her Kow Pod is very similar to the way we make it. My dad duplicated a winner!

We fry any type of meat in a bit of oil then add vegetables like onion and tomatoes. We dump in some cooked white rice and crack an egg or two into the mixture. Stir until the eggs are cooked. Serve.

This week’s questions for Four Foods on Friday are:

1. How do drink your hot chocolate? Marshmallows? From boxed or scratch?
I have a big canister that I scoop out a tablespoon of mix from, add it to hot water and stir. I like marshmallows in mine but rarely have them in the pantry so I go without.

2. Do you prefer cider hot or cold? I like cider both hot and cold.

3. Do you like egg nog? I like a small glass every once in a while. I like a bit of Baily’s Irish Cream added to mine and pour it over ice. Yumm.

4. How do you make punch? I usually add 7up to canned punch. Lazy and simple!

Hurray for Fridays! We are leaving this Friday afternoon for our son’s college graduation on Saturday. He has earned his master’s degree in communications. I have no idea what the weather is supposed to be like on Saturday so I hope I have packed the right clothing. If the weather is nice, the ceremony will be outdoors.

Anyway, back to my favorite thing to do on Friday. Fridays mean it is time for Four Foods on Friday and here are this week’s questions:
