One of the loveliest memories we have of Michigan is shopping at Meijer's - a great grocery chain in the Midwest. You're probably asking yourself, "Grocery shopping? How can that be memorable?" You see, shopping in Meijer's was our very first introduction to American culture. The moment we stepped into that huge supermarket, hubby and I were totally astounded with the dizzying variety of what's on offer - seemingly unending aisles of cereals and other breakfast products, endless varieties of ice cream, frozen pizza galore....and what have you. It was quite a sight for us who, back in 2004, were used to smallish to medium size kind of grocery stores and not of the mega-mall variety.

As I have mentioned before in previous posts, we are obsessed with rice in the Philippines. Why do I say so? Well, we just eat rice at least 3 times a day - breakfast, lunch and dinner. I say at least 3 times because more often than not - it may be 5 times. Yes, seriously!

Easy Chorizo Fried Rice

The other day Mexican chorizos were on sale at Whole Foods so we decided to stack up as we love it for breakfast and it's also quite useful to flavor many other dishes whether Latin-inspired or not. Originally, I wanted to make a breakfast dish with it that can easily be done on the stove top and not baked since it's already starting to warm up and the use of the oven except on occasionally cooler days are now getting limited.
