We need to talk about Catfish.

Not the bottom feeder, the television show about people who meet on the internet but have no idea who they are *actually* communicating with so they call in MTV to crack the case. AKA give these fools an Emmy.

Who knew this stuff actually happened? I mean, I definitely found myself in a couple of weird chat rooms in the 8th grade, but these people carry on internet relationships with each other for yearrrsssssss.

I had heard of this show, but never watched an entire episode. Luckily, my father is a teenage boy so he’s super into it. He’s all, “Come over – I’m watching Catfish.” And I’m all, “K.” Just like that, I’m hooked. Surprisingly, I’m really skilled at guessing the outcomes of the episodes. Like, oh yeah his crazy ex definitely made some fake accounts and has been getting him to tell her all of his secrets for the last three years – duh. It’s like I can get into the minds of crazy girls or something – weird.

There is no food more sinfully delicious than a good fried rice. I’m the lamest person to take to an Asian restaurant because I will, undoubtedly, order just a heaping bowl of vegetable fried rice. I do not share.

I know it sounds ridiculous and it is because who doesn’t love regular rice?! But when needing to cut carb intake (muah), I love using cauliflower as a substitute. It’s cheap, easy and, essentially, flavorless. So easy to mold into whatever you desire.

When I made this the first time Cheryl literally did not believe it wasn’t rice. It looks and tastes too good to be true. We gobbled up the whole darn pan – what’s new?

Tonight I made enough for about 8 humans, but only had one mouth to feed. Leftovers for days, y’all!
