Ward and I have come to the conclusion that the strenuous, active part of gardening (translation: planting) doesn’t fit well with well-planned, delicious, homecooked meals.

So, in honour of this week’s gardening efforts, it is Fast (Quick) Food week here at Muse in the Kitchen.

First up this week was the fabulous Jamie’s Spaghetti, which everyone loves around here. It’s just too bad we can’t have it every day. (I say that, and I don’t even like spaghetti.)

Then there were not just one, but TWO nights of the classic Eggs on Rice. For those of you who are not of Asian descent, this is a gorgeous, tasty and extremely easy dish. (See recipe below)

Tonight, though, we’re really tired - we cleared out some dying cedar bushes along the side of our property and planted shade-loving perennials along the fence. I use "we" liberally - Ward did all the hard work, but then again, he’s the one who cooks, which is why we’re having a fast food week here.

So I’m going to suggest pizza. From Pizzaville. Not that it’s a rainy day …

Eggs on Rice

Here’s what you need:

Hot cooked rice

Eggs (preferably free-range)

Soy sauce (quality soy sauce)

Pure sesame oil

And here’s how you make it:

Prepare your eggs sunny-side up. Put them on top of your rice. Douse with soy sauce and sesame oil, to taste. Slice through eggs so that the yolks break and you have smaller pieces of egg white. Mix together with rice thoroughly. Enjoy.
