Oooh, It's a Sunny Day Outside My Window

Fried Rice with Brussels sprout leaves - magically nutty!

It's gorgeous outside, possibly a little too nice. I'm not ready for spring yet!  I was feeling cavey, needed to be cozy and warm.  I wanted to watch movies all day in the dark on the couch with a soft blanket.  If I had one, I'd put a Do Not Disturb sign on my head. 

Making a double batch of rice is a great idea always but especially when you lack energy, you will be so glad you did.  You can get very creative, or you can always do a quick stir fry, the most forgiving dish ever.  A great use of leftover vegetables.  I had a few big Brussels sprouts, so I separated the leaves and then quarted the small cores.  Along with an egg, sesame oil and soy they provided such a vibrant nutty addition to this already awesome dish.
