easy

More and more I'm liking things quick and easy.

[Yeah, yeah. Insert joke here.]

My patience isn't what it used to be and I just don't feel like making much time for things these days, cooking included.

Work is wearing me down and while not as busy as it used to be, it's still draining. Not feeling engaged doesn't help, but being unplugged certainly keeps the stress levels to a minimum. Defense mechanism. Self preservation. Call it what you want, it's how I'm getting by.

But back to convenient food fixes. I need to find more of those 30-minute and under meals. You know, anything to keep me out of fastfoodland.

I've got my favourite maple-glazed salmon and wasabi-laced soba noodles, and lately I've been making these char sui style pork chops...

Swift and savoury. They're just too easy and too tasty not to slip them into the rotation. But I want more or others, I should say. More, more, more. That's how I like it, that's how I like it.
