For the last two weeks, I've been having nothing but green salads for lunch. I bought too many greens for a work BBQ, so I had to make as many meals with them as possible. I don't know how those models do it. As delicious as a salad can be, I get bored of eating the same thing over and over again. I know what to expect each time. There's no excitement or surprising flavours bursting in my mouth. I have the same spinach and pea shoot mix with shrimp and drizzled with a honey, mayo, lemon juice and mustard seed dressing... Everyday. I shrug and nod after every bite. "yeah, just as I thought, tastes okay like yesterday.". So at the peak of my taste buds' frustration, I regrettably ordered myself a plate of fries today. It was heaven for the first quarter. The last few bites each were preceded by groans. A mistake was made.

It's the weekend now, so I won't be seeing raw veggies until the next coming work week. Let's celebrate with a pork stir fry! Pork neck would have been ideal, but I continued my freezer cleanse and thinly sliced a defrosted pork chop. Not as tender as the neck... But the flavour was there. And it's food, so there is essentially nothing to complain about.
