Put the first 8 ingredients in a pot.

Bring to a boil, lower heat to lowest setting, stir ingredients to mix well.

Cover & ignore for 15 minutes.

Place the bacon and celery in a medium to large sized frying pan and cook until bacon is done and celery is tender.

Remove from frying pan onto a bowl/plate covered with paper towel to drain.

Drain the excess bacon grease from the frying pan into a bowl and scramble the egg in the frying pan.

When the rice is done, put some of the excess bacon grease into the frying pan and add the rice mixture, and stir-fry for a couple of minutes.

The ingredients change depending on what I have in my house -- you can add mushrooms, chicken, shrimp, peppers, beef, pork - the list is pretty much endless.

Sometimes I like to spice it up and add dried chili peppers.
