a very late dinner

Plain scrambled free-range egg 
Stir-fried chicken breast and onions flavored with thyme, soy sauce and sesame oil
I hardly noticed time passing by I was so immersed in what I was doing. First I did a short writing assignment in the morning. Then I went online and did some research on a few projects I'm working on and made notes. I had a late lunch then went back to the research. By 4pm I took a break from all the reading and writing and did some house chores. Then I paid some bills online. Continued with the research which morphed into studying and learning new tricks and finding out about new options for getting creative. It was 9pm when I realized I haven't had dinner (and my tummy was grumbling). So I made do with leftover ingredients because I won't be going to the supermarket until Saturday.

My shopping wish list just got longer tonight. But I am so happy to get a lot of studying and writing done. I haven't been that absorbed in a long time and actually enjoyed it.

a late lunch

Today is a late day. I woke up late (three hours after the alarm went off). I went straight to work and then had breakfast at almost noon. I cooked myself lunch at around 2PM.

Sliced an onion and some ginger - the last few pieces
Sliced some baby carrots - the last few pieces
Oh look, there's some bell peppers too
Ready for cooking. Now where's the pan?
Cooked the egg noodles first. Drop in boiling water and cook for three minutes ONLY.
Stir fry onions and ginger in extra virgin olive oil with a few drops of sesame oil
When the onions start getting cooked, throw in the other veggies.
Throw in the chicken once the veggies have had time to roll around.
Add the cooked egg noodles. Drizzle with soy sauce. Sprinkle some black pepper.
Found a few stems of wansoy hiding in the corner of the fridge.
Stir and mix!
Yum!
