The duncan imperial is actually a pretty poor yo-yo. I think it has to do with the small diameter, metal axle. If you could fit it with a wooden a wooden sleeve it would probably play much better, but the imperial isn't designed to be disassembled and will likely break during an attempt.
just random stuff messing around. no peas and carrots so i had red/green onion and red/green jalapeno. cooked the rice with beef flavor and a few piece of onion and jalapeno. sauteed the veggies in butter, scrambled an egg, added the rice, threw in a mix of worcestershire sauce and dijon mustard, stir fried, topped with some bbq sauce. twas surprisingly enjoyable
