Yum, prawns. I know they're supposed to be bad for you but they are my weakness ;D
I know what you mean about food being a chore. I think it comes from having to make it yourself! I generally really enjoy baking and cooking but if I'm tired, I feel so overwhelmed sometimes about having to make food. Especially when I have to make it for other people as well.
It's definitely part of it! I have less trouble eating things other people make; I think it's because they generally don't make the things I always make myself. I can't imagine having to cook for multiple people on a regular basis; it's definitely not easy.
Love the opening and then how you mirror it in the closing, and then contrast it. I also like the repetition of prawns. :)
I like those microwaveable meals out of the freezer section -- the ones in that come all in a bag and you just throw it in the microwave, flip halfway through and put it back in, and then pour it into a dish. :)
At work, when I'm in a hurry, I eat soup -- pour the can into a large cup, add the water, and microwave. It's not exactly gourmet, but it's good and its filling.
Oh, I should try those, thanks! I've been having the microwaveable curries, which aren't frozens, but they get tiring after a while even as easy as they are--it's something about the same-iness of the rice. I've tried soup before, though, and that doesn't tend to fill me up; usually only a couple of hours later I feel almost hungrier than I did before I ate.
Ooo. I don't think we get microwaveable curries here... I've been up and down the microwave food aisle, lol, I'd have seen them. ;)
I have that problem with a lot of the water-based soups; I have to make sure whatever is in them is enough to fill me up on its own, because broth just doesn't do it.
Ours are in the section for 'other-culture' foods, not in the microwave section at all. XD I had to ask to figure out where they were because they weren't in the microwaveables.
Exactly. I chose some of the heartier soups to try, and they were so-so when it came to taste and still didn't quite fill me properly. I have tried to make my own soup, but I just ran into the same problem. Not sure what it is about it; maybe I just don't eat enough in one sitting because my stomach says it's full when it's not. XD
