Hainanese Chicken Rice / Eggplant Steak / Work Hard Bento

Heh heh ... this was yesterday night's dinner. I seem to be getting better at making the chicken tender and moist and just as delicious as the kind from back home! The rice was so fragrant and tender, so uh ... I kind of dug in before remembering to snap a photo. The untouched one is Sean's.

Complete with 2 sauces! XD Excelsior

Last night's dinner was somewhat vegetarian. Simply because I was going to make dijon pork chops, but the pork tenderloins were not defrosted in time so I improvised ... eggplant chops with dijon mustard, it turned out really really delicious, so much so that Stewie finished his entire slab of eggplant, his rice and edamame.



Sean did not care for it too much, though.
I used the leftover rice (there is always a ton in each side serving package **sigh) heated up more edamame, threw in some hotdogs, and made this nice bento for Sean to take to work tomorrow.



Colorful! Now some kind people please send me cheap Bento boxes so this can be even more fun >_> LOL

It is all about food today huh, hmm ... I have been suffering from PMS so been fatigued more than usual and sleeping more. I did, however, manage to miss Stewie's dental appointment and will have to reschedule. We have booked and paid for the hotel in Myrtle Beach for the second week of August (when Kirsty comes!!!) and I just planned our itineraries. With the help of Priceline, I was able to find a hotel room for only $60 a night!!! We are going to try to share the room, and that will make it cost around $35 per person for both nights total. That is an unbelievably good deal.
Hmm ... pretty ... my first self-manicured French nails.



It was a reward to myself after deleting Colleen from my life. Wow, I sure do go through friends like water. Maybe it is because I hate Augusta so much ... that I kind of reflect that hatred subconsciously, and everything to do with Augusta I detest, and people sense it in me. The other day I called U-Haul to rent a truck for this weekend so I can finally toss our couch out, and the girl on the other end had such an uneducated drawl/accent that I absolutely had to hang up, and then beg Sean for help. He somehow can understand the slang and hear through it (that is because he is awesome, and is great at his job tee hee) but almost always, I find myself crying for help when it comes to trying to talk to these people. It is not quite the Southern slang, because I understand Paula Deen perfectly well >_> it is that weird uneducated accent that people pick up that sounds like they are too lazy to even enunciate, I feel like taking a bat to their face screaming "SPEAK UP?! I CAN'T UNDERSTAND A WORD YOU'RE SAYING!!!" /end rant.
