Shouldn’t be a stumper, but it has been. For almost two hours. My stomach is getting very impatient with my indecision and lack of energy for making anything or even biking anywhere to get takeaway.
What I would give for Indian or Thai home delivery right now. Any home delivery, other than the crap pizza which is available!
It’s nights like this that I long for a carton of Velish in my fridge. Instant and healthy!
Do you like hakusai and deep-fried tofu (any tofu will do, actually)? Here’s my favourite winter easy-to-make recipe:
Bring 600 cc water to a boil. Add 5 g of konbu dashi. Add the following mixture: 3 tablespoons sugar, 2 tablespoons mirin, 4 tablespoons usu-guchi shoyu, half-teaspoon salt. Stir a couple times to make sure it’s all mixed. Now add whatever veggies you want (I do hakusai, enoki mushrooms, and usu-age tofu) and simmer for about ten minutes. Voila!
Absolutely… I completely understand and agree with you – where is my healthy Indian or Thai home delivery? Sometimes you just don’t want to cook, or go anywhere. I also have crappy pizza delivery here. Am hoping to discover another alternative, but haven’t had any luck. What did you end up having? Fruit and yoghurt? Instant noodles? Rice with furikake?
Sounds great and I shall try it sometime. My main problem recently is total lack of motivation to cook anything, at all.
Nothing so healthy! About five timtams, then I went to Lawson and got oden – atsuage and daikon – and gyoza, and some sort of pumpkin parfait thing (I was curious!) Already I’m dreading tonight! I have to work out another meal. Meals come far too often for my liking. i wish they could just be something nice which we indulge in every so often, but there is no necessity to have them if we don’t feel like it!
I like it cuz I usually have those ingredients on hand anyway (except the veggies, but there’s a 24 hour supermarket behind my house) and it’s so easy to make that it barely feels like cooking.
but if I’m REALLY hurtin’, it’s yogurt and granola, baby.
also, I find it helps to post a list of “meals I can make” on my fridge, since I’m always forgetting what my options are in the first place. Choosing what to make is often the biggest hurdle, and if you have a short list in front of you to choose from, it’s that much easier.
Cheers!
You live in the sushi capital of the world. I know where my vote is going! *nods*
Yeah…and I’ve lived in the sushi capital of the world for nigh on five years total. Believe me, there is such thing as too much of a good thing – where some things are concerned 😉
Hehehe. I guess I will have to take your word on that one.
I’m eminently familiar with this kind of culinary indecision.
I find that it’s being spoilt for choice that does it.
Eventually I have to get some or I don’t have the energy to and then I go hungry…
if you don’t have energy to cook you might not be able to meet us in Wakayama, but if you can recommend a rendesvous tomorrow night around 8 or 9 I can bring a big bunch of ostrich egg quiche. It’s almost done as we speak… 😉
sounds fantastic! Unfortunately I will be at an enkai around 8 or 9 🙁 Maybe finished by 9 – you can never tell!
When and why r you coming up to wakayama? anything to do with the speech contest today? I have to be a judge!
am internet deprived today so any communications will have to be mobile….
