Panic Attack

So, I cooked up a storm on my day off.

For no reason, I felt there was a sense of pressure, stress and emptiness. Out of control. I felt guilty too, for not cooking over the weekend. Kian and I ended up have to get some take-away at work.

I drove down to the local shop. I bought some grocery without a proper shopping list. I picked as I walked down the shoping aisles. Couple of items. I was trying to be sensible at that time too.

I cooked one kilo of keow teow.

Before that, I boiled some eggs, diced some mushrooms. I made a small pot of five-spice chicken.

On the stove, I cooked almost 1.5kilos of curry chicken. I had 4 roti canai/plata to go with it.

I haven’t mentioned there was a bunch of chinese kai-lan (vegetable), and brocoli in the fridge.
I cleaned up the entire kitchen after that, leaving the whole area spotlessly clean.

I starred at the food, and I had no idea where to start. And guess what, I wasn’t even feeling hungry. Not a tiny bit.
