shrimp fried rice

John and I just invested a wok and decided to break it in last night and make shrimp fried rice (and when I say "we" cooked it I mean that John cooked it, and I just keep bugging him to let me do something.. cooking isn't really my thing). My apartment still smells like a Chinese restaurant, but it was soo delicious.

Every time we cook something, we always make extremely too much and make enough for an army. So I know have about a week's worth of shrimp fried rice.. good thing it was delicious =).

happy belated mothers day

I know I'm like 2 minutes to late, but I had a g r e a t mothers day. It was so much fun to have all three generations cooking together, unfortunately I had to leave before the party really started but I still had fun. My Nona (Grandma in Italian) is almost 70 years old and you would never know it. She has a young soul and good genes, and they have definitely rubbed off on my mom and me. They are the two most important women in my life.


I took some pictures of my Nona's remodeled kitchen, this is not any old "grandmas house", my Nona has style and I love it.

The floral apron my mom is my great grandmothers, isn't it amazing! I already called it so my cousin won't steal it!
