The following technical manual is intended yet not limited to: Bachelors, Single Men, and / or recent divorcees. Please consult accordingly.
I can’t cook worth a damn however I do know how to make a few select things that I think taste good, quick to make, and more importantly fill you up. This flexible recipe shouldn’t take you any longer than 15 minutes so stop stalling and get busy.
This is what you need:
- Rice
- Meat
- Veggies
- Garlic
- Oil or Butter
- A brain (mostly your own)
So here’s the plan, rather than order up yet another pizza, bust out a frying pan and a pot to stir up some rice. Instructions within:
Make rice!
Follow your Chinese heritage and get busy. Actually never mind, pickup some quick 5 minute rice or something to that effect (Parboiled Rice is a failsafe), you can either microwave this stuff, or stove top cook it (you can steam it too, but I’ll just assume nobody that is actually reading this has a steamer). You’ll want to make about a cup or two of rice. Take note, Parboiled rice is a 1:2 ratio against water, thus if you have 1 cup of rice, you need to add 2 cups of water. If you are confused, stop reading now, and go order that 5th pizza of the week.
Got Rice? Good, cause you’re going to need that shizzle later.
Pick your meat.. I generally stick with chicken or beef because it fries up real easy and heck I must be part black cause I dig that fried chicken. Slice up your meet, and then find some veggies (Peppers, Bean Sprouts, Carrots, Broccoli you name it) and promptly cut that stuff up too.
Lay-up a frying pan with some Olive oil (or whatever oil you got, heck even butter works) and toss in a handful of chopped garlic (I love garlic and use it accordingly). Let that stinker get a nice golden texture then add in your meat. Once you have cooked your meet enough that it won’t kill you, add your veggies a few minutes before then to the mix. You’ll want to add some sauces such as, Worcestershire and Soy (if you lack these, just add salt and pepper). Sauces are pretty loose option, you can add whatever the heck you like or have sitting around (think hot stuff). Anyways we’re getting off track. Cook that shit up, and cover it up if you can (keeps the taste in, and cooks faster).
MMM.. Smelling it yet?
Well that’s about it, once you think everything has turned nice textures and colors you are ready to eat. Pile on some rice onto some plates and serve the stir-fry on top of the white maggots. Presto!

Star Wars – Attack of the Clones
One thing I can say is that I was certainly quite surprised coming out of Star Wars Episode 2: Attack of the Clones.
I was surprised that the title, shunned for years by nerds worldwide, was actually quite fitting in describing this confused, high-tech A/V hack job, frankensteined from 10 vastly superior films, and carrying no … -
Powerpuff Girls – The Movie
Here is a story of how great things come in small packages – I’m speaking both of the teensy size of the movie’s namesake ass-kickers as well as the densely packed cinematic artifice. The Powerpuff girls are pint sized but immensely powerful, and the movie is barely 70 minutes long but is effectively a challenge …

Movie: Artificial Intelligence
Artificial Intelligence
A.I. is the creative collaboration of two cinematic masters. Stanley Kubrick wrestled with its development for eight years, finally turning the reins over to Steven Spielberg to realize his dream when it was obvious that he could not. Kubrick’s movies are easily identifiable, and this one is no exception. However, it is arguably Spielberg’s … -

Sónar 2010 – Barcelona, Spain
The festival attracts a lot of outsiders, but the Mediterranean, Spanish and more specifically Catalan nature of the people makes the festival what it is. Catalan people are passionate and this passion is infectious. The atmosphere is electric in Barcelona as a city and heightened by music and intoxicants at Sónar.

Summer Party Naval Styles at Seven RestoLounge
Oysters, like wine are affected by terroir and these Miyagi’s flavor profiles ranged with one showing a cleaner, almost tropical profile and the other being more salty, marine driven. As I was devouring the seemingly endless plates put in front of us, I sipped on a glass of fine sauvignon blanc.

Predictions 2010.. and beyond!
So 2010 eh? Almost but not quite (no year zero they say) another decade? It seems like just yesterday that the world was waiting for Y2K. R4NT started publishing in March 2001, so we’re not quite 10 years old yet, but in internet years we are already a senior citizen.

Invictus
No matter what, the reality of Nelson Mandela is something that deserves screen time. Should this film even remotely intrigue the masses to take interest in this figure, the world would likely benefit greatly from it.
