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 […]

I’ve had a poke at old entries, and recalled some fairly nice looking entries that were vegetarian or vegan – which always make me think of a (Buddhist) monk’s diet. I probably would need to research things further to expand the way of the veggie, so this week was focusing to try to prove (to […]

I am not sure how effective half rice portions are when the sidedishes themselves may be oily (delicious, precious oily food!). And what a week – adobo, devilled mushrooms and oil-seasoned pasta… Why can’t everything be easy as getting fat…. November 16 A special treat (for me at any rate) today: the other half has […]
