Lahling Gets Home Cooked Lunches Again

Yay or what? hah..hah..hah.. The first week after my parents were discharged from the hospital I cooked up a storm for them.

Of course I included my brother (who worked from home to watch over our parents) and my partner. That experience (stressful as it was, I quite enjoyed it) taught me that it is very possible to prepare lunch for the day in the early hours of morning.

As long as you are not fussy and don't mind not getting much variety. Just three items makes the meal - one carb (rice), protein (chicken or pork/and or eggs) and one or two veggies (the most practical are cucumber and tomatoes, can be eaten raw).

First thing when I wake up (at 4:00am) is cook rice.

I have this cute little rice cooker that can cook just one cup of rice.

Then take the marinated chicken out from the fridge to stand to room temperature. These are air fried an hour later.

When I am in the mood, I fry eggs. What you see up there are a total of four eggs, two eggs each. I know. My eggs are super crispy especially the one on the left >.<

Then I slice up some cucumbers and cherry tomatoes and assemble the lunch box.

Side view heh..heh...

That makes for a wholesome meal, no?

Mine is with no rice, no veggies.

These were from the first week of cooking for four people. Meat patties and roasted veggie omelette (yup that's how I use up leftover roasted veggies).

All packed and ready to go.

And then on another day it was rice, pork chops and French beans. 

I don't cook like that anymore because it takes up a lot of time. besides it is more economical to tapau especially in terms of time cost. Also I want my parents to have variety. My partner is ok to eat the same old same old (the Santa Fe Chicken Salad is testament to this wahahahaha!!!)

Here are a few more samples.

Sometimes I use pork loin. Those pieces in my container are the very fatty and burnt parts that my partner is not keen to eat.

I guess I will be continuing with this morning food prep until I don't know when. 

Now some updates on Kitty Kat. She has grown quite a bit.

This is what I have to put up with.

She likes to bite my toes. Ouch!

She is still super cheeky and still very much a kitten. Her appetite is still as voracious as ever and as a result, she still poops more than once a day >.< Ugh!!!
