dark_agenda | Chromatic Remix 2011 Drabblefest Prompts: Day 4

For Chromatic Remix 2011:

Guidelines

To qualify for Remix Redux 2011, you will need at least five (5) stories of at least 500 words OR at least seven (7) stories of at least 100 words in any one qualifying fandom. However, you don't have to participate in remix to play in our drabblefest.
The goal is to write a story of at least 100 words in one of the qualifying Remix fandoms, but there are no maximum word limit and no restriction on the fandom written. If you end up writing a longer story or for a non-qualifying fandom, all the more joy.
Prompts are entirely optional, to be used, subverted or ignored as you please.
The story must have a chromatic character at the centre of its narrative.
The story can be posted in its entirety in the comments of each day's prompts post as long as a fandom and a rating is included in the subject -- or merely linked with header information noted.
Suggestions and requests for fandom or character specific prompts in the comments are welcome, but please be careful that the ratio of prompts to stories does not tilt heavily towards the former.

Lyrics for Caetano Veloso's Tropicalia

Sobre a cabeça os aviões
Sob os meus pés os caminhões
Aponta contra os chapadões
Meu nariz

Eu organizo o movimento
Eu oriento o carnaval
Eu inauguro o monumento no planalto central
Do país

Viva a bossa-sa-sa
Viva a palhoça-ça-ça-ça-ça
Viva a bossa-sa-sa
Viva a palhoça-ça-ça-ça-ça

O monumento é de papel crepom e prata
Os olhos verdes da mulata
A cabeleira esconde atrás da verde mata
O luar do sertão

O monumento não tem porta
A entrada de uma rua antiga, estreita e torta
E no joelho uma criança sorridente, feia e morta
Estende a mão

Viva a mata-ta-ta
Viva a mulata-ta-ta-ta-ta
Viva a mata-ta-ta
Viva a mulata-ta-ta-ta-ta

No pátio interno há uma piscina
Com água azul de Amaralina
Coqueiro, brisa e fala nordestina e faróis
Na mão direita tem uma roseira

Autenticando eterna primavera
E nos jardins os urubus passeiam a tarde inteira
Entre os girassóis

Viva Maria-ia-ia
Viva a Bahia-ia-ia-ia-ia
Viva Maria-ia-ia
Viva a Bahia-ia-ia-ia-ia

No pulso esquerdo bang-bang
Em suas veias corre muito pouco sangue
Mas seu coração balança a um samba de tamborim

Emite acordes dissonantes
Pelos cinco mil alto-falantes
Senhora e senhores ele põe os olhos grandes
Sobre mim

Viva Iracema-ma-ma
Viva Ipanema-ma-ma-ma-ma
Viva Iracema-ma-ma
Viva Ipanema-ma-ma-ma-ma

Domingo é o Fino da Bossa
Segunda-feira está na fossa
Terça-feira vai à roça
Porém

O monumento é bem moderno
Não disse nada do modelo do meu terno
Que tudo mais vá pro inferno, meu bem

Viva a banda-da-da
Carmem Miranda-da-da-da-da
Viva a banda-da-da
Carmem Miranda-da-da-da-da

Heat-proof kitchen spatula/turner
Rice cooker or small (~1 quart/liter) saucepan with cover & rice paddle or smaller
1-cup measuring cup
Medium cutting board & knife
A bowl to whisk eggs, bowl to shape the omuraisu, a plate (to cover said bowl), a fork and a spoon.

Ingredients

Preferred type of rice for frying
Water
Large eggs
Packaged cooked & sliced ham (or other type of preferred meat)
Bottled ketchup
Green onions
Olive oil
Salt, sugar & pepper

Directions

For 1 serving:

Cook rice and set aside. One method for cooking rice:
- Measure 1 cup/250 ml of rice and pour it into a medium (~1 quart/liter) saucepan.
- Wash & rinse rice with cold water 1-3 times in saucepan. Drain saucepan of water and fill it with ~2/3 cup/150 ml of clean cold water (more if you prefer sticky rice, but not too much or the rice will be too sticky to fry).
- Turn stove to medium heat and cook rice for ~10-15 min with cover on (don't worry about if the rice's burning a little on the bottom; you can scrape them out and they make for some yummy nibbling food or when rice's cooked, scoop out all the rice and pour water into the saucepan immediately for easier cleaning).
- Uncover saucepan, fluff the rice with a rice paddle, turn off heat and leave rice to cool.
Or use leftover rice.

Grab ~1-2 stalks of green onions, cut the roots and wash green onions. Chop green onions into small pieces and set aside.

Grab a couple of slices of ham, chop ham into small squares and set aside.

Crack ~2 large eggs into a bowl & whisk. Season with salt, sugar & pepper.

On another burner, turn stove on to medium heat, add ~1 tsp/5 ml olive oil to a medium (~10 in/26 cm) non-stick sauté pan/frying pan and heat for ~1 minute. Add eggs to pan and let it cook for ~1-3 minutes on one side until it's golden brown. Flip the omelet and let it cook for ~1-3 minutes on the other side until it's also golden brown. Slip and slide omelet into a bowl, moulding the omelet so it would stick around the edges of the bowl (if imperfectly). Set aside.

On the same burner, turn heat to low and with the same pan, add ~1 tsp/5 ml olive olive. Add green onions to pan and sauté for ~1-2 min.

Turn heat to medium, add ham and sauté for a minute. Add rice and toss for another minute. Add ~1-2 tsp/5-10 ml ketchup and toss for another couple of minutes (~5 min) until the ketchup is absorbed. Season with pinches of salt, sugar & pepper.

Turn off heat and scoop rice into the bowl with the omelet, packing down the rice. Cover bowl with a plate and flip bowl & plate over. Remove bowl and the rice should be mounded by the omelet on top. If desire, drizzle omuraisu with ketchup and serve.

Sensation

In my perineum a new born kitten
Keeps licking my manhood
My pulse is throbbing on my temple
Then a summer rain befalls
