You
can tell when I've just been to one of the local Asian
markets, because odd stuff starts appearing in my lunch
box. The grilled
chicken and cornbread are pretty
ordinary, but I have more of my beloved
baked purple sweet potato
and some curried
lotus slices. (I'd parboiled a batch of lotus
root at the same time I was cooking up the curry, and
I ended up with some extra soupy curry stuff, so I simmered
some of the lotus in it.) Encircling it all is
some steamed
long beans. Those things can be a foot and a half long, and this time I
didn't cut them, so eating this lunch will be an adventure.
Thankfully I eat lunch in my office with the door closed.
No dessert? Hmph. But when I got to work I found
out that there was going to be a meeting of Important
People in the conference room. They never eat all the
goodies brought in for those meetings, so I can scavenge
me some dessert. I'm never too proud to turn down a
leftover muffin.
Wanna talk
about it?
