Fried rice ... and ballet?

How does one make fried rice with no flavor? I ask this because I go to this little shop on the corner of Alakea and King for their breakfast every now and then. I've tried their fried rice twice, but never again will I voluntarily order it with my meal.

This morning, I order my breakfast with white rice. And, when I get my plate and open it up, it's fried rice. Sigh. Sometimes, I think the lady that takes the orders doesn't like me ... for whatever reason. So, I am in no mood to explain myself and just take the plate of eggs, Portuguese sausage and fried rice back to my office to eat. But, before leaving, I sprinkle on some salt and tabasco sauce because I KNOW the rice has no flavor. It's such a huge difference from somewhere like, Koa House. Their fried rice is delicious!

I just don't get how you can make ono Portuguese sausage and then, fried rice with no taste! It's boggling my mind right about now. Anyway, it was alright for breakfast and gave me the strength I needed to start my work day. Can't complain about that ...

On another subject, I'm trying to decide which ballet class will be better for B. What will work for my schedule are Saturday morning classes. But, my little B is not a morning person. The second option is Friday afternoon at 4:30. That would mean I'd have to leave early for the next ten Fridays ... don't see how that could work. 

Since it's summer break, there are many, many options as far as classes and activities for B. I chose swimming and ballet because she loves the water and when she isn't in the water, she's dancing, dancing, dancing (and drawing). My parents would love to see her in hula classes, but mommy can only afford so much and more class means more time taken up in the schedule. Plus, I want B to be classically trained in ballet just like I was when I was her age. It's a great first step in dance and will help to develop her own style. I'm so glad I trained in ballet when I was young because throughout my years of dance, I'll always come back to the basics that ballet has taught me. I'm hoping it will be the same for B.

Now, since I need more time to think about it, I'm gonna go and bash the penguins (don't worry, its just an online game!)
