Q: Silence is golden, unless you have a toddler. Then, silence is just suspicious.

Did my extended grocery shopping two hours ago. By "extended" I really mean 'a lot more than usual'. My kitchen was painstakenly barren, which ultimately costed me two cups of instant noodles for both meals of the day. Sad but true. Plus I am a lazy person during most waking hours, so a three minute dish (if it even qualifies as one) is a rare blessing and I savored every slurp of the noodles (however carcinogenic it in fact were). Of course, that too meant I have no more food for dinner. This lazy person had to go outside to harvest stock up, oh the horror. Why, a fifteen minute walk feels like an hour with this kind of temperature, can't I just order in tonight?

And I was outdoors, dragging a cart towards Giant. The purchase of the cart I assure you, is a reasonable one. A benign investment that would save me multiple trips to the store and from chancing at a broken back (choi). I am a proud owner of Carty (an arbitrary name, quite common of its kind); the thing did a splendid job dragging $50 worth of groceries with hardly but a small rough jerk on the wheels over the curb. Heck, I took the chance to visit the Asian store right beside Giant and found almost everything I intend a necessity to cook fried rice. More than that actually; ayam masak merah and the black pepper fish dish are totally doable now. Good grief! I need not ever travel to H Mart. What a find!

Back home from the walk, I was munching away on roasted chicken. No more shopping for a bit. You're going down Black Friday!

The aftermath,
