INGREDIENTS

1/2 lb. cooked and chopped (pork, poultry, beef, shrimp/prawns, or seafood)
2 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce
1/4 teaspoon sesame oil
¼ teaspoon freshly ground pepper
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 eggs, lightly beaten

4 crimini mushrooms, thinly sliced
1/4 cup low-sodium chicken broth
+ an additional (2) tablespoons of low-sodium soy sauce
2 green onions, chopped
4 cups cooked white rice
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper, to taste

METHOD

In a small bowl, season the pork with the 1 tablespoon soy sauce, sesame oil, and pepper.

Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the beaten eggs, and saute to scrambled point, and remove to plate and set aside.

Increase heat to medium-high heat under skillet (add more olive oil if need be), and saute garlic for 30 seconds. Toss in the pork (or meat or seafood), and mushrooms, sautéing until heated through. Stir in chicken broth, 2 tablespoons soy sauce, green onions, and rice. Cook and saute until the rice has broken apart and is evenly coated with the sauce. Pour the reserved broken scrambled egg pieces over rice, and toss to combine.  Taste for seasonings, adding kosher salt and ground pepper to taste, if needed - and serve.  Enjoy!

Newsflash Not All Redheads Look Like Each Other

{Dress: Zara; Necklace: Spike the Punch; Heels: Antonio Melani--similar; Sunglasses: Thierry Lasry; Lipstick: Nars Schiap topped with Chanel Jalousie}

I wore this amazing Gwyneth Paltrow-wearing-Tom-Ford-at-the-2012-Oscars-esque dress to a friends wedding this weekend. I snatched it up after seeing Jenna mention it for a similar occasion a couple months ago. Little did I know when I threw it on with a bouffant hair-do and a hot pink lip that Id be compared to everyone from Joan Holloway on Mad Men (which I can understand given the retro-ness of the whole look) to the Red Witch on Game of Thrones!
Look--I GET it! Im "classically" beautiful, yaddi yadda yadda. And while I think Christina Hendricks is a beautiful woman, who I might even remind people of, I cant pretend to not be annoyed by a comparison to whomever this is...not because she isnt attractive, but because I dont look anything like her.
For some reason, people look at redheads as though were just one DNA strand away from each other. As if sharing a tinge of coloring automatically renders us each others dopplegangers. Ive gotten all kinds of random comparisons through the years, from Julianne Moore to Kate Winslet, but that Red Witch thing just made me snap! Again, not because the actress that plays her is unattractive, but because at the end of the day, my face looks nothing like ANY of these women. For what its worth, I never drew those comparisons before I started coloring my hair (Spoiler Alert: this isnt my natural color!).
So next time you meet a redhead, dont tell her she looks like Lucille Ball or Debra Messing or Florence Welch (all amazing and gorgeous woman) or some other random Ginger who comes to mind, because the fact of the matter is she probably doesnt and youre just being unoriginal. 
 Oh, and I wore this dress with pink lipstick to avoid feeling too vintage-y. I guess it didnt work...?
 I mean, shit. It could be worse, right? I could be compared to this guy.
