宅男+宅女

We stayed at home the entire day, didn't step out of the apartment at all. Hubby worked from home and I had a day off. That's why I called ourselves 宅男宅女(home boy/home girl). Actually I like to stay at home like this, wearing my pj and glasses, with hair in a ponytail and a hair band, and no need to wash up and take shower. Well, sounds a little gross but very relaxing and laid-back.

宅男宅女當然要靠自己做宅食. Instead of eating out, everything is homemade/homestyle.

Lunch Asparagus + Carrots
Stir-fry the garlic first, then add asparagus and carrots, continue to stir-fry. Add some water and simmer for a little bit. Add salt and chicken powder.
Tomatoes + Eggs
Stir-fry garlic first and then add tomatoes, then pour eggs on top of the tomatoes. Add ketchup and sugar. The ratio for tomatoes and eggs is 2:3.
Chicken + Onion
Use skinless and boneless chicken thigh and cut into small pieces. Marinate the meat with soy sauce, black pepper, and sesame oil. First, stir-fry the garlic and then add the chicken. Add onion slices at last after chicken is fully cooked.
Dinner
Homemade Salad + Pineapple Dressing
Romaine Salad + boiled egg + diced tomatoes
Pineapple dressing is the souvenir we bought at Dole Plantation in Hawaii. Both of us like the flavor of the dressing. I think we'll eat more salad just for the dressing! heehee =)
Pot Roast with gravy over angel hair pasta + mushroom with onion + steamed asparagus and carrots
We got this Pot Roast from Costco and it's super easy to prepare it. Just thaw the meat and put the bag in boiling water for 25 minutes then it's ready to go. The meat is tender, we like it.For the mushroom and onion, sautee with olive oil and add some salt and pepper. We love angel hair pasta, only take about 4-5 minutes to cook.
Yum...we love to EAT!
