So, I left work early to go to the hospital where my dear friend was admitted earlier and she needed me. And I needed to see her after I heard what had happened. So sad for her.

Left the hospital a few hours later, came home in the rain, and did not know what to make for dinz. And Chas out at a meeting where there was food, and he would not be home for a bit. But in the end I grabbed a few things from the fridge with an impromptu idea. I took the last small bit of cooked Goya Spanish rice (the yellow kind) I had, the last 2 eggs I had, a potato, last bit of butter (replaced with stick from freezer though) and Adobo seasoning from Goya. I washed and cleaned the potato, and sliced in small cubes, and boiled in water til a knide tip went through easy enough. I drained the water, added the butter and sprinkled the adobo seasoning and mixed, then let it cook in the pan on medium heat. Once nicely browned, I removed from the pan and added the leftover cooked rice and stirred in the remaing butter mix to heat, and transfered to a plate. I topped the rice with the cooked potatoes, and cracked the 2 eggs to cook in the pan. When done, I added the eggs to the top of the rice and potatoes.

Firstly I wish your friend well :) hope it is nothing too serious.

:) I really like spanish rice, or any rice for that matter ha. I'd like to have you cook for me. :) I've had jumbo size eggs before and those were quite big but so good.

Take Care!

She will be fine, I feel sure. While it is serious, I feel she is in good hands if she lets them do what they gotta do. ;P

This was so easy to make, I tell you. Of course it was easier that I had the leftover rice. I was not about to cook a detailed meal. If you took a whole box of the rice, obviously you would increase the number of potatoes and eggs. :)

Looks really tasty!!

Good job! I think real talent comes in the creativity of just knowing what you can throw together that will likely taste pretty good, and when it tastes even better than pretty good, that's even better! ;-)

Well, adding a little spicy tomato sauce would keep the latin flavor for sure.

Yep

Some things just come together. I think that even with cooking, the saying "Knowledge is power" holds true, because knowing some latin-ish cooking themes helps point back to a reference of that seed that was planted. I really think it was tasty, and that isn't the butter talking. :P
