Home-made BBQ pork, stir-fry veggies in black bean sauce, and I felt like eggs again, so it's 午餐肉 (Chinese spam) in scrambled eggs. (poe - I did in fact have chinese spam in my pantry, buried behind my stash of assorted canned goods. omg, now I want it in my ramen.)I made the Cha Siu a la lazy style (with Lay Gum Gay BBQ marinade). Depending on how my work day went, sometimes I just want to fix a quick meal after work and don't want to do anything crazy in the kitchen. The hubs usually get home around 1 to 1.5 hours later than I do (what a hard working dude), so I at least have time to wash/chop stuffs, or clear out the stuff on the dish rack from the night before, and cook. Otherwise, I might want to just cook instant noodles or sandwiches everyday. I love instant noodles. Anyways, I usually need a few minutes to clear my dish rack before I wash/chop/prep for dinner. Yeah, the dish rack has nothing to do with the actual cooking, but I think I have some sort of kitchen-OCD. You see, if I don't clear out everything in my dish rack, I can't prepare food. And I have to make sure the sinks have no dirty dishes before I begin cooking. So you can probably now guess that we hardly ever leave dirty dishes (from dinner) overnight. I'm a very strange person! Although I think Col is trying to brainwash me, as he often tells me life still goes on even if there are a few dirty dishes in the sink. And oh, I'm gradually trying not to wash dirty dishes as I prep for dinner (a knife here, a cutting board there....). I do that with baking too. poe would understand. Hey, what's up with that?
Woah, that was some non-sense ramblings.
So onto the topic of coffee. The other day during worship team practice, we had a discussion about Starbucks. I don't even like it as much as Blenz (mmm belgian dark hot chocolate hello thar!!). My usual drink is a decaf americano misto. Sometimes it's with soy (that's the hub's usual order, but non-decaf). Sure, they charge you extra for the steamed milk. Yes, soy is more expensive so we get charged more for that. But almost $1.00 just for soy (it's like, $0.50 misto with milk + $0.45 for soy)?! And why is it only that snobby location in Terra Nova ding you twice, whereas every other location we've been to only ding you once for a milk OR soy misto?
Discuss.

(those tealight holders in the photo.. aren't they two of the million we stole from Quilchena? anyways, how romantic, candlelight dinner! mr.chan's suggestion, right?)
re: spam - maybe the spam god realized you've been a good girl, and granted you a free can of spam. which brand do you usually buy?
re: kitchen OCD - i might have to blog about my dishwashing routine some time, but yes, i understand you completely, and for the record, you're not wrong about the overnight dishes thing. sure, life goes on even if there are dirty dishes in the sink, but think about the possible creepy crawlies finding their meal on those dishes while you're asleep! ugh!
We didn't steal anything from Quilchena! We gave theirs back, I took back most of mine. You want some? haha...
I usually (read: almost always) buy 梅林牌午餐肉. I was told that apparently the best kind is 長城牌 from China. Never seen it around here, but perhaps the next time I trek out to Chinatown I'll look for it!
haha funny, I do that too! have to put all the dishes on the dish rack away and wash all the dirty dishes in the sink before I start cooking... are we just weirdos? ;)
