I suggested to myself that if it rains, let’s take a break! \u2606
\nUntil just now my head was all fuzzy and I was watching TV and dozing off, which wasn’t so bad,
\nbut I told myself no way\u2014took a bath, did the dishes, brought in the laundry, soaked in the tub, and now I’m refreshed!
\nNow my head’s a little clearer…
\nThat’s when I came up with something that doesn’t cost much but is pretty cool!
\nStill a secret though! \u266a Lately I’ve been living the packed lunch life, so I get to eat lunch every day\u2014it’s extremely healthy.
\nBut making it in the morning, coming home, washing up, cooking rice again\u2014it’s a bit of a hassle, so I mostly just microwave it,
\nand I’m not really into cooking that way\u2014it just doesn’t taste as good.
\nI want to eat freshly cooked rice even if it’s just one cup, and I want to use the insulated lunch box I went to the trouble of buying.
\nWell, I can’t make anything fancy, but I think cooking is actually a lot like maintenance work.
\nOn the flip side, when ingredient temperature and freshness changes are involved, the deeply explored world is probably still uncharted territory…
\nSo when I’m cooking, what I focus on is efficiency.
\nEfficiency exists in everything, and by improving it I think you can make things go much more smoothly.
\nBut it doesn’t work out as well as you think\u2014the vegetable oil stew finishes before the fish is done grilling.
\nThe sauce is ready before the chicken is cooked through.
\nYou need practice with everything, but since I’m not making the same thing every day, I forget anyway\u2014and that’s what makes it fun.
\nBoth failures and successes become lessons, so I call it good. Anyway, my head started going “If it rains tomorrow!”
\nso I’m suggesting we go shopping tomorrow! First I want a seasoning container. \u266a
\nI know some people think any old thing will do, but I think using something I like the design of and that’s easy to use
\ncan help boost your daily efficiency.
\nWell, before I ramble on any more, I bet everyone reading this is thinking I should just go to bed early and wake up early!
\nBut I can’t wake up! I’m not even going to bed that late, you know~
\nOnce in a while it gets diary-like… Pokidam<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
