Chicken Fried Rice

I love Chinese food.  There is this little restaurant in this town where we shop now and then that serves this fantastic House Special.  It's rice with everything but the kitchen sink. So when we make this at home, it feels just like eating out, only we're in the comfort of our own home.  And we even buy the little Chinese fortune cookies to add to the experience.

Ahh, there really is nothing like cooking at home.
