Chinese Fried Rice

After a month, I FINALLY bought this dang video up! It’s my first time cooking LIVE on television – ABC morning knowledge.

Now how backwards is this:

Dwell broadcast by technique of very costly digital knowledge cameras -> transmits by technique of adore satellite someplace up in space -> to extensive receiver at my cable company that I pay $123.00 month-to-month to -> even though thousands of miles of underground digital cable to my HD-prepared cable field -> that will get recorded in excessive quality, digital structure (treasure Tivo) -> saved low quality to VCR tape (yeah, that’s SO 1985!) -> pay any person $40 to assemble 4 minutes of video from scratchy quality VCR tape onto a DVD -> which will get transformed to an .avi file -> which will get uploaded to YouTube -> which then will get transmitted by the tangled Web tubes to your pc.

(whew!) I do know there’s the next manner, but I don’t hang a video clutch card on my pc.  I asked Scott to save loads of a pc that lets hook up in an instant to the TV, cuz…you know…he owns a pc company. But on the other hand, I’m aloof watching for a towel rack to be attach in within the kitchen. That I asked for 5 years within the past.

Here’s the studio kitchen, which is inches a ways from the newscasters. And NO, I didn’t drape seductively over this stovetop, treasure I did on this one. Cute little kitchen – the counter and cupboards within the abet are about 6″ deep – wonderful for folk with undoubtedly rapid, nubby arms. Look that window?  Proper appropriate outside are laughing young of us jumping rope, heavenly, fragrant Gardenias, honest palm bushes, wonderful, sunny 80F degree weather, a Stepford housewife tending to her backyard, a dad taking half in gain along with his son….all printed properly on posterboard 😉

In actual fact, it used to be 5:30 am, aloof pitch black outside.

There are 3 of these gigantic, dangerous cameras. You’ll survey within the video that I didn’t know which one to gape at!  They’re a ways off managed, and take me abet to the reality of some Enormous identify Wars robot. Dazzling intimidating. They undoubtedly timid the bajeebers outta me when all three of them simulateously moved in the direction of me with,

“Utilize the force, Steamy. Utilize the force” flashing on their monitors. Damn robots.

Here is newscaster Silke Roble. Don’t let her properly pressed, professional outfit idiot you – she’s also wearing fuzzy red flip-flops. In actual fact!

And right here is where they’ve particular company.  Look that thick wire and foot petal in entrance of the chair?  That is a nifty system. The visitor sits on the left chair, the host on the finest. It’s a stay broadcast, so if the visitor says embarrassing issues treasure, “I treasure turtles,” your complete host has to save loads of is nudge the foot petal and (poof!) visitor will get ejected out of chair and crashes by that tumbler masks masks. All in a blink of an witness. Thank goodness they saved me within the kitchen.

Here’s the dish that I made – Chinese Fried Rice – it has Chinese sausage (lap cheong), eggs, carrots and peas.

So listed below are some issues that I hang learned since that taping:

1. 3 minutes is a LOOOOONGGGG time, especially after I’ve drank 3 espressos with a Red Bull chaser (because I woke up at 4:30am to assemble to the studio at 5:30am) and too scared to trail off to the restroom for ache that I would pass over my set and the camera would pan to the kitchen and …. um….where the hell is Steamy?
2. I’m rapid. I want to practice cooking in my 4″ hooker heels.
3. Confucious instruct, “Flappy arm sleeves may perhaps gain on fireplace if one no longer cautious.”
4. Dwell television is stress-free! Especially after I pre-warn the producer to lend a hand finger on the “bleeeep” button in case sportive words rupture out my lips.
5. Tv adds 30lbs, no longer 10.

I will need to hang no longer been THAT dangerous – they’ve asked me abet! While you are within the home (Sarasota/Manatee counties) and gather ABC Channel 7, tune in October Ninth round 6:30am-ish.  This time I promise no longer to drink espresso and Red Bull. TOO! FRICKIN’! PERKY!

Here’s the video! Alright, be soft now,

I’m no Mario, Giada or Rachel! (but). Gracious newscastress, Silke, made it so easy!
