Food…
Mom has been gone for over two weeks now. The greatest concerns for my
sister and me are food, housekeeping, and transport. Housekeeping and
transport are quite straight forward and we have those under control
already. Food, however, proves to be more tricky. The other day Chris
asked me if my sister is making food for me now and I was like “… ya,
my sister… and Chinese restaurants”. Chris was shaking his head and
chuckling. My sister doesn’t make all the food though; I cook too.
Anyway, here’s what we made for supper tonight. First there were the
chicken breasts that have been sitting in the fridge, defrosted for
over a week. They went “funky” before we knew it, so we had to throw
that away. Then there’s the new omelette that my sister invented…
with diced Chinese conserved sausage (臘腸, làcháng) o_O. It was good
though; I just never thought about using Chinese conserved sausage. And
then I put too much water in the rice when re-heating it so it got a
bit mushy. I made some stir-fried watercress with a bit of chopped
garlic (we Cantonese people put chopped garlic in a lot of stir-fried
dishes) and it was good too.We’re still trying to stay away from last-resort stuff like curry, sweet and sour chicken, and instant ramen as much as possible, lol.
The food reserve should allow us to subsist for another month without
major grocery trips, hehe. I mean, we do have like 20 kg of rice in the
basement and a lot of meat, McCain Garlic Fingers, muffins, buns,
Shanghai noodle, etc. in the freezer.
