Busy go of things, and the past two days saw quick and easy in the kitchen: A zappable but lamentable Tei Pei chicken and broccoli that wasn't much improved with scallions and garlic (yet the remaining potato leek soup took the sting out of the disappointment and abated the hunger) and last night pizza for one zipped up a bit.
Tonight was a different story. Dinner for three was very good. It was a take on stir-fried pork and veggies over rice, yet the pork was big pieces of a chop, floured, fried, and reserved for addition after the veggies got started. The veggies, onions and peppers and some wonderful mushrooms. The sauce is one I should remember: soy, olive oil, fresh minced garlic, onion powder, a touch of oregano and the juice of a lime. It was yum. And the compliments reminded me that a bit of effort is well worth it.
