How $99 and four hours every 2 weeks can provide rocket fuel to an Entrepreneur

Fried rice is a really simple preparation, and makes for good leftovers.<p>Heat a little oil in a wok or frying pan. Pour in a can of peas, carrots, or some chopped onions. Throw in a bunch of day old rice. (If it's just cooked, it's too sticky.) Douse with soy sauce. Toss the rice and fry it a bit. Crack in a bunch of eggs. Toss the rice some more. Maybe throw in some chopped bacon, or chopped cooked chicken.<p>This is really simple, and also a tasty one-dish meal that makes for great leftovers.<p>[Aside: Last week, I made a batch with 6 cups of brown rice, 6 eggs, and 1 lb of bacon. My friend came over, and while I napped for a few hours, she literally ate the entire batch of fried rice. I have no idea how a 120 lb woman was capable of this, but at least it shows the recipe is tasty!]

From the comments, I get that this is about cooking food for human(s) in batches.<p>From the title, I thought of the "rocket science nerds" that are often mentioned here, and guessed that this was about some DIY approach to producing small quantities of actual rocket fuel at home. That fuel would then be pooled in order to help with rocket engine testing and development.<p>That felt cool, but I guess not, then. :)

A recommended read would be "Artisan Bread in 5 Minutes a Day". Describes how to make no-knead homemade bread in only about 5 minutes of active work a day. Rising is done in the fridge overnight. Take a portion out of the fridge in the morning and bake it while prepping for the day. Nothing beats the smell and taste of home-made bread. The only downside it that it is so superior to supermarket bread that I can't eat supermarket bread anymore, even as toast.

Thumbs up for figuring out how to eat healthy on a budget, but thumbs down for cooking all the food at the same time and eating frozen leftovers for 2 weeks.

Site down for me. Anyone has a cache link?

I'll just note that there have been several past, rather active HN threads on this topic, for those interested in having a look.<p>I'll toss in my quick and nutritious suggestion: Microwave a sweet potato. Don't forget to poke it a few times with a knife to vent steam pressure. Slice in half and top with a little brown sugar and cinnamon, or whatever else strikes your fancy (e.g. maple syrup, butter, etc.).
