I’ve attempted to add more variety by planning out alternate days with the other easy shop favourite: beef mince. The routine is ok with 2 sets of lunches though spreading my concentration on both definitely is exhausting. I should remember to break away from having a veggie pasta and bibimbap every week – I might […]

Slightly better this week, but chicken still dominates. After being comfortable with the roast veg recipe, I’m making it more often to at least take some of the animal protein allocation in my lunches. Oh and cabbage – because they last for ages. February 29 After all the errands on Sunday, home time in the […]

Not much has improved with diversifying from chicken – it’s embarrassing that I’ve fallen into that trap too when I pride myself in trying to have a decent collection of lunchable food. It’s definitely easy to blame the second-lunch project with wraps, and I’ve tried to ensure some variety of flavours to them too – […]

Hi I’m Kit, and I’m addicted to karaage chicken… It’s so unfair that for most of the things I find tasty they are laden with fat and oil – and if not, they are full of complex carbohydrates. So, this week was practically owned by chicken. At least it’s compatible with making wraps, which would […]

Overall, I think I recovered from beery festivities well (because, the one thing to do is serve beer – that way you can’t really afford to drink on the job). In the meantime, I’ve tried a new regiment and try to make 2 lunches, though there is the added difficulty that the second lunch needs […]

I figured that since frozen spinach is present in the freezer and I like curry, then why not both? As a novice curry cook, it’s a bit shameful that I’ve not added more curries to my repertoire – but it’s the sheer number of spices and adjusting these that I’m not very familiar with. This […]

We interrupt the dread of the current programme with a certain day – so there is some excuse not to wallow in despair. Definitely time for recalling favourite things (food) and concentrate on getting delicious in the belly! Yes, I used a veggie cutter on the potato for the curry – it is painfully cute […]

Ah, not the best types of week to occur so early in the year – I hope it’s not a trend. But if it rains… Well, if it pours at least I can make myself a decent meal to momentarily distract myself – like having to make gyoza wrappings from scratch. Though it’s not very […]

Another year, another rest and the dreaded return back to work. The break is always welcome and shows that the lunch-packing mojo is still going – though there are definite hints of influencers like manga and the local farm shop (who quite generously allow me to peruse their food mags even before they break it […]
