there is really nothing much to write about today, i am even surprised by the lack of activity.
it is probably because i got really busy with work that my mind did not wander off to somewhere magical.
i had some considerations to do though, it was regarding which dish to cook for the week.
i know i had to cook, ordering out has hurt my account that much already.
but the dilemma was on what food to cook, i bought lots of veggies last monday.
and i also bought pork tendons (not tenderloins, but just tendons).
but i have plans this weekend, both saturday and sunday so eating in is not an option.
i had to cook a dish, not that much, which can be consumed within the weekday.

i let go of the meat, cooked the veggies.
meat was stored in the freezer, if only i could store veggies in the freezer then more options would open.

behold, pinakbet!

the ingredients were as follows

• squash
• carrots
• bitter gourd (ampalaya in the philippines)
• eggplant
• shrimp paste (bagoong in the philippines)
• dried shrimps for more flavor
• tofu slices for protein source
• garlic
• salt and soy sauce to taste

i am no cooking expert but stir frying is really simple.
stir fried the aromatics then added in the rest of the vegetables starting with the hardest to cook.
which i thought was the squash, but it must probably be the bitter gourd: i'm still not sure till now.
added a little water to soften the veggies and done!
serve when the water reduced.
pinakbet usually have okra, string beans, and tomatoes but i couldn't find any of these when i did the groceries.
there were tomatoes but i wasn't planning on cooking pinakbet when i bought the ingredients, i just dumped in my bag whichever i saw which can be made into a dish.
that is how i usually run.
anyway, hope i can consume everything in four days.

as night went on, i settled with doing cardios in the gym, an hour walking on the treadmill.
i headed out late and had no energy left to do anything else.
i noticed new faces in the gym lately, not that i would interact with them.
i'm an introvert after all, that is against the protocol.
