My daughter has moved to the East Coast and is rapidly acquiring new words and phrases with which Papa needs to keep up. On the phone today, she used yet another new one: "ghetto fried rice". I learned (from her) what it means; do you know?
Um...toss in whatever you have on hand?
'Nother question, to see who knows: What's a rollie? (Hint: think Snoop Dogg.)
When the Dogg sez he gots the rollie on his arm, he means that he is wearing a Rolex wristwatch.
Now, about that fried rice ...
Where on the East Coast? Does it make a difference to the definition.
When the Dogg sez he gots the rollie on his arm How do you DO that??? [disgusted disbelief e]
Where on the East Coast?
My darling daughter is in New York but is also in contact with a lot of people from Philadelphia. They ALL talk a bit funny, best I can tell.
How do you DO that???
I have friends in young places.
Rice and beans? Where the beans are parboly black-eyed peas?
in NYC, its black beans and rice.. or red beans and rice.. we have way more hispanics, (from many islands,and many SA countries.. come visit for mothers day--you can easily find dozens of places that will have guinne pig on the menu (a traditional food for mothers day.)
Father S--is she working here? or in school? or a combo? and is it for a term (or contract term) or has she upped and left one coast for the other?
She welcome here--its a great place. (i love my home town!)
And the answer is: ghetto fried rice is leftover rice to which one adds soy sauce and either cut up hot dogs or balogna, without any vegetables. Sounds yuck to me.
My darling daughter has entered the wonderful world of publishing and has moved to the City to work for one of the big publishing houses there.
oh, i am sorry to hear that...or does she have a trust fund to live off? publishing doesn't really pay enough to live in NY--its a fine choice for people like the late Jacky O, she didn't need the money (so of course, they paid her alot ) but most publishing jobs pay just enough to keep you from starving!(but not enough to both eat well and live well).
Good luck to her!
It's good to know now never to ask for ghetto fried rice.
Cap': Your reply was both comical and gross.
You win some; you lose some. That's the way it goes!
<<sorry to hear that>>
Hence the bologna and leftover rice, no?
adds soy sauce and either cut up hot dogs or balogna
Sounds like what we used to do with beans...cut up hot dogs and cook em with the beans for supper. Feeds a family for next to nothing.
