Egg tofu
What is fondly know as “Japanese Tofu” back home. Bought the last two tubes at the AsianGrocery store!

Egg tofu
Didn’t get to mince the chicken properly but still good.
:P

Okay.
Forget about weird feeling. Weird feeling is forgotten when hunger strikes.
*hehe*

Home made chicken nuggets
I had a plan – home made chicken nuggets. Much “healthier”, I guess.

The unhealthy “hierarchy” for me is this:
Fast food – frozen food – homemade fried food.

To avoid spending money on takeaways, I used to buy frozen food. They are easy, cheap(er), convenient and all I needed to do was to turn on the oven. It helped because I am such a junkfood addict! I could get my fix anytime of the day if I had those frozen junk in the freezer.
*gasp!*

Now, to really want to eat healthy, I would have to eliminate all “short cut” items. Or at least, reduce my frequency of purchase. I don’t have any frozen “instant” food (except for a packet and a half of mixed vegetables) – I do have fish and meat.

I plan to only have eat-out/takeaway “treats” once in a fortnight (because it’s pay day every fortnight). It’s really difficult. Carmen doesn’t think I can last that long (a fortnight) without takeaways. She’s half-right…so that’s why I made myself these. When kiam siap mode kicks in, it kicks in hard.
:P

Home made chicken nuggets
Okay kar?
I know chicken has to be well cooked, so I put them into the oven (with some left over frozen chips – I don’t know how long it’s been in the freezer!) for a little while longer.

Home made chicken nuggets
Not-so-fast food at home.
:hee:

Yoghurt and fruits
To balance it up, I had homemade vanilla yoghurt (okay, from a pack but it started as a powder) with these.
:mmm:

Baked fish
Wanted an easy, carb-free meal. I’ve lost count of the days since I bought this bag of gurnard fillets.
:sidelook:

A little butter, salt, pepper, paprika, lemon juice, mixed herbs – into the oven until fish breaks easily. Dinner time!

I know it lacks side dishes but hey, I come back from work – am tired to whip anything else up.
:P

Lamb leg steaks
Pre-marinated (rosemary+mint) lamb leg steaks with mashed potato (yes, just ONE potato was hurt in the making of this meal), mint jelly and gravy (steak “juice”+onions+chicken stock+corn starch).
:mmm:

This happy meal marks happy day eleven.
:hee:

Carbonara
Yay!
Look at the bacon…mmmm!

Seriously though, I think I’m lactose intolerant. Intestines making funny rumbling sounds now.
:roll:

But it’s soooo good.
:P

And I think I will treat my self some happy food in the month of October! Woot!
:hee:
