Fried Rice and Short soup

Happy New Year everyone!!  After years of partying and counting down, squeezing with the crowd and getting thrashed on New Year's Eve.  I've decided to spend this New Year's Eve reflecting and making new resolutions for 2011.  A nice cosy meal, and hurdle up infront of the TV watching all the good movies I've missed during the year.

Today's menu is really simple and what I consider comfort food.  Takes less then 30mins from preparation to eating.
