What a hectic day! I get up at 6 am and zoom off to the wet market with my
Mom. When we get home, I'm happy with my stash of fresh ingredients: prawns, fish fillet, all sorts of vegetables and fruits. Now it's time to weigh and store all these goodies in individual
containers then ... Oh no, I haven't had my breakfast yet!
***Panicking*** (I get an apple, peel, chop and toss it in the saucepan. Cover it with 7-Up, sprinkle cinnamon and wait for it to boil.). ***Back to the blog***
Then I wrap my vegetables in newspaper and store them in the crisper.
By the time I'm done chopping, weighing, packing, preparing and eating breakfast, it's 8:45! I rush
to shower, get dressed and rush off to work. As an aside, I gotta tell you... getting dressed now is such a breeze. Everything just fits so well ;).
Ok, since breakfast was late, then lunch will be at 1:45 pm. I always make sure to have at least 5 hours in between main meals.
I rush to the job site, do what has to be done and then rush back home
to prepare lunch for me and J. Good thing, J is willing to eat my food.
I open the refrigerator and notice that I have a pack of tofu that's
about to expire. So, tofu it is for lunch. Tofu't Mushroom (please, pronounced with a Pinoy accent):
Tofu - slice to thin slices so that it crisps when fried
Shiitake mushrooms
Any other veggies
Garlic powder
Balsamic vinegar
Salt & pepper
Splenda
Fry tofu then set aside. Sautee veggies with garlic powder, balsamic
vinegar, salt & pepper, Splenda. Add a little water and let it
simmer a bit. When done, toss back the tofu
Of course I had to do this entire routine twice because I had to cook
for 2. So I clean my pan, spray oil and then do the whole process again. Phew!
So when I served J's dish, she takes a good look at it and says,
"Parang it's so konti". I look at her and say, "I weighed it and ate
exactly the same amount. Maybe you should eat it with 2 crackers".
You tell me, konti ba?
Congrats! I love reading your blog. Its voice sounds just like you! You should get J to cook for you paminsan-minsan naman. :) Great job. I'm watching you ;)
