I was trying to explain that to a friend this weekend. He has a so far
unknown
allergy. The allergist prescribed spring loaded epi pens as a precaution
but he
didn't get them. I carefully described that he may wish he had them in
his pocket someday.

Except for leaving the attributions alone, I agree. People that don't

I, OTOH, make the fried rice, then scrape a clear spot in the pan
to scramble an egg. Once it's cooked, I cut it into little pieces
with my wooden paddle and mix it into the rest of the rice. Your
way sounds interesting though...

Hey, do you know if that works with milk? I'm also lactose
intolerant, but only to large doses of milk. Someone told me that
their doctor said you can't 'gain' it back, but I've found that when I
have milk in moderation, I don't have any problems with it, whereas if
I stop drinking millk for a month and then have some, i get some
pretty explosive diarrhea..

Yea I'm aware of that one.. i think we all had this discussion
before :P

It's weird because some people say that if we repeated expose
ourselves to them, we can develop an immunity, whereas others say more
exposure can kill ya.

I'll add my procedure to this particular post without snipping:

In an large electric fry pan, I fry the egg enough to push it to the side,
then I cook/fry at the same time, but keeping them in their own spaces, any
and all additions I wish add. Then, I take them all out onto a oval flat
dish. Then I put the rice in the fry pan with how ever much sesame oil and
perhaps a little soy sauce, and cook/fry it to my liking; then I add all the
ingredients back to the rice and finish it up. When I plate it, I either
plate it onto the oval flat dish, or leave it in the frypan on low in case
anyone wants more helpings.

I don't understand this either. I took shots every week for many years
to develop an immunity to certain allergies. My BIL was told that after
he suffered a bee sting, that the next one could kill him. Sure enough,
it did, despite pills and an epipen.

My friend has a totally variable reaction. Sometimes there is barely a

B> Blech! Although I may like it, if I tried it.

I've tried a lot of things and I quite like ketchup on a
burger; sometimes both it and mustard together but *never* mayo!
I also like tomato and a thin slice of onion tho' I don't use
ketchup if I have a sliced tomato. Steak sauce is not bad
either!

With dogs, I go the same way, ketchup, mustard, steak sauce,
chopped onion etc. so there! Mustard and chopped onion is very
good :-) One of my favorites, when other things are not
available, is one hotdog with mustard and another with ketchup.
The only thing I don't like is sweet pickle relish.

my ancient 'jim lee's chinese cookbook' has a recipe for both ways.
my way makes it a little easier to get some color into the rice, i
think, especially since now i have an electric stove and can't get the
wok as hot as i'd like.

see, i think mayo is o.k., but b.b.q. sauce would seem odd. lately,
though, it's coarse-grained dijon and ketchup, at least at home.

Thai fried rice has no egg - look for recipes on Thai websites.

We don't use soy sauce in ours, anymore either. We bought two sauces
at a Thai store - one salty (not fish sauce, but similar) and one is
sweet.

Diced tofu or chunks of tofu makes a nice substitute for the egg/
protein. I personally like cashews, instead.

The onliest thing I will put ketchup on is fried potatoes. I can
*tolerate* ketchup on meatloaf, but I don't prefer it. Otherwise,
keep the stuff away from me, and expect to be injured if you put it
on my eggs (or at least to have to eat the eggs yourself.)

I don't like cheeseburgers, but I have weird food stuff. No cheese
on eggs. No tomatoes (/salsa/ketchup) anywhere near my eggs. No
cheese on meat. No fruit with chocolate. Hazelnuts are fine, but
not with chocolate. And on and on.

Serene, definitely weird
