I left out carrots in my list yesterday. I don't particularly like carrots. Sometimes I've forced myself to eat them because they're supposed to be good for me. Actually, cooked baby carrots with a touch of brown sugar and butter is okay. When I was a baby, my parents fed me so much baby carrot food I started turning orange. And I think it was last year...My lips were soooo irritated and I could not figure out what the problem was (my doctor suggested I not eat spicey food :roll: which I don't anyway and she suggested I not let my food touch my lips!!). My guess was that it was the carrots. I cut down on carrot consumption almost completely. I haven't had that problem since.
Last night I made a stirfy with celery, broccoli, tofu, mushrooms, zucchini, and onions. It took me forever to make!! And all those stirfry fumes and bouncy oil...They're my least favourite part about cooking stir-frys. They're also a reminder that I should either wear clothes or an apron when I cook. I hate the oil splatters!! At times I wish I had a real wok!! Not some non-stick doo-hickey! But at least there's a less chance of me burning the food. I burn food regularly.
My aunt called me last night asking if I'd like to go for dinner in the next couple of days since my parents were away :roll: It was a nice gesture, but I declined. My mom gets back on Saturday, and I have plans every night until Sunday. Why are people so surprised that I'm busy? My dad can't imagine what I could be doing since he's so bored of his own life.
And my dad called me a few days ago from Hong Kong. He informed that there were no good rice cookers out there for him to bring back for me. And then he told me to call him if there was anything I wanted. Hmm...it would have been nice if he told where he was staying or if he gave me a contact number.
Maybe that is why I am so big on reliability in a mate. My dad's been one of the most unreliable people in my life. Lots of broken promises and half-assed efforts.
Speaking of unreliability, the P Man and I are still speaking. I feel like I'm peeling off a band-aid to see how the healing is going, and then I stick it back on. When I'm ready, I will rip off that band-aid. And I'll have to do it before he is dating others.

I love stir-fry, too!! So easy. I just used Heinz vegetable sauce for mine (Ginger and terikayi). And happy Thanksgiving to you, too!!
