Yes, my Love?! Have you had dinner?!
Yeah… I’ve had dinner…
What did you have?
Well… do you remember, when you used to live in Australia… how Coles and Woolies had the roast chicken, in the plastic bags?
Yes I remember that…
Well — in recent years — actually, I don’t know about Woolies, I generally don’t shop there — but Coles, has had roast pork as well… maybe also roast beef?! I can’t remember if my memory is correct about that… but today I bought the roast pork to try.
Oh, so it’s like in the bag as well? Just ready to go?
Yeah. So I brought it home to try… and… it’s nice… but… I don’t think I’ll buy it again, unless we live together and I’m preparing dinner for us?
Oh?
Well… it feels like a LOT of PORK for ONE person… so… I’m just digesting my food right now, using the standing desk with my laptop — actually standing — and I’m feeling like my body is a little… over-porked?!?!? Like — it’s such dense protein!?
Was it the protein or the fat?! Did you eat the fat?!
I… yeah… I did eat the fat. You think it’s the fat?!?! I probably shouldn’t have eaten the fat?!?!
I don’t know… but I don’t eat much of the pork fat…
Well — IT’S JUST REALLY YUMMY, OKAY?!?!
(LOL)
I ate… I don’t know how much. I thought I was controlling my portions — I knew I wasn’t going to finish it that quickly. There’s a LOT that I’ve cut up — that’s why I also think — nah, this is better with two people. I’m not buying it for myself alone again…
Okay… I’ll eat the roast pork with you when I’m there… but I don’t want that much of the fat…
Yeah… maybe I can cut up the fat and portion it off even more for the dog… not all at once, but just a tiny teaspoon with his meals… he can’t have too much fat either!
What did you have with the roast pork?
Just some rice and vegetables… is that okay?! Or do you want a “Western” roast dinner? Like with potatoes…?!
(LOL) No. Rice and veggies sounds good.
Yeah… I actually… don’t know… how to do… Western… “roast” veggies?!
(Chuckles)
I mean — I’ve seen plenty of Tik Toks about it — but I’ve never tried to make it myself… so today, I just thought, “I’ll try buying this roast pork!” But when I got home — just rice and veggies — it was quick. It was quick to not have to worry about the pork part of it. Rice and veggies I can do.
You get what I mean?!
(Nodding) Yes… I can see why you said we don’t need a chef if you’re going to make these types of dinners…
Is it too boring?!?!?! Is rice, vegetables and roast pork too boring?!?!?!
(Chuckles) No… you’re gonna switch it up from time to time with the roast chicken, right?!?!?!
LOL… yea….?!?!!? And then — if you’re sick of it, we can just order sushi delivery?!
(LOLOLOLOL) Yeah. Okay. That’s fine.
Okay cool. (LOL) — I was worried…
About what?!
I don’t know… I’m not a “Domestic Goddess” — I just… eat rice and veggies… sometimes instant noodles… I buy like, multiple packets of frozen veggies sometimes as well, because I’m really kinda lazy about it…
(LOLOLOLOLOL) — IT’S ALRIGHT —
Yeah!?!? You don’t need me to be that good at cooking?!!?!
(Shaking his head) — If you want something fancy, we can go out to eat. Enjoy a nice restaurant atmosphere. Or, order food delivery. I don’t mind.
But like 70% of the time, I’m just cooking rice, or noodles, with vegetables — usually frozen — and a meat. Like a pork, chicken or beef — or fish — something like that.
(Chuckles)
Is that okay?!!?!?!?
(Nodding) — YES!!! IT’S FINE!!!
Do you mean “fine” like the way women say “fine” — when it’s NOT fine?!?!?!?!?!
(Giggling) — NO — I DON’T MEAN IT LIKE THAT. IT’S ACTUALLY TOTALLY FINE!!!
lol… OKAY… I believe you…
(Smiles) (Forehead kiss)… I love when you try to cook for me. I’m more touched that you’re TRYING —
Oh… is that what it is…?
(Nodding and smiling) Yes… I love it! It makes me feel all warm and fuzzy inside…
