Sunday Food Prep

So. I went to 1 Utama again for my grocery shopping (and yes, I was first in the queue again. LOL!).

The previous weekend when the mall reopened I found that it was all right to visit since there were not many shoppers and I felt safe in terms of social distancing.

I had expected more people the following week but I guess many are still wary.

Now only I notice the Magnum Macadamia Salted Caramel hah..hah... Next week I want to buy some to try. 

It was so deserted, usually even at this early hour, there would be many shoppers.

So I easily zipped around to get what I wanted. In the past, I had to wait patiently for others to leave the aisle (some take their own bloody sweet time) before I could select my vegetables.

Wah seh! Mooncakes are still being sold. Tai Thong mooncakes. At very attractive prices.

Very cheap!

This is the car park when we left at around 10:30am. This area is usually the preferred parking spot because it is near the entrance. You would be lucky to find a spot at peak hours but now, you are lucky every time.

Back home, I started my food prep engine. These are roasted chicken legs. I deboned them before marinating and roasting. I did not throw away the bones but instead used them to make chicken stock. No waste!

Then I roasted some broccoli.

I haven't made these in ages.

I also roasted some eggplants, blanched another batch of broccoli and sliced a few vegetables.

Then it was time for assembly. This week's theme is salads, something easy to prepare and can be eaten cold.

As you can see, I am reducing my carbo intake. 

I'll still eat carbs on certain days especially weekends. No need to be too strict. I enjoy overnight oats in the morning. 

While I was busy in the kitchen, my two cats were taking their nap in the living room. Life as a cat is good.

As you already know, this is Belle.

She looks so angelic. But. She can look evil too.

I thought she looked rather aggressive. Those eyes!

This photo was taken last week, during her early stages at home. What is she looking at?

Ah Girl was very annoyed that her spot on the arm chair was taken by this intruder. For four consecutive days since Belle joined the family, Ah Girl whined and made a fuss in the evenings. Really gave me a headache!

But things are improving. I'll tell you about it soon.
