I accidentally made barf for dinner, Dominican Republic flashback

So has this ever happened to you? Or is it just me. Food experiments can be really dangerous sometimes. Here I stir-fried 4 delicious vegetables: red cabbage, onions, carrots and spinach. It was sooo beautiful and bright--full of color! I then added brown rice, eggs, ham and asian-like condiments.

Result? Blue barf. (for my foreign friends, barf means: throw up, vomit)

All those bright colors dulled and mixed together with the frying. A chemical reaction when these veggies become more acidic-- I should have known!

It tasted like fried rice for the most part. Last night I made it so that I could pack some up for Dan on the way to church volleyball. Before Dan opened the container, I warned him:

"Just don't look at it! The taste is preeeetty good. It looks awful though."

Dan ate most of it--what a champ!
Don't worry, I whipped up some no-bake chocolate chip cookies to make up for it.

Flashback 10 years:

This actually reminded me of the time I lived in the Dominican Republic.  They made the yummiest food!  I was staying with the wonderful Beltre family and they allowed me to make them dinner.  I decided to cook up some meat.  Daddy Salvador took the first bite and exclaimed:

Esto es crudo???!?!  (Is this raw?)
Genoveva, tu no estas lista para casarte.  (Genevieve, you are not ready to marry)

So the meat was a little tough...
