Hunger-pangs creativity.

The other day during the bus ride home, I was SERIOUSLY fricking hungry. Between the hazy, delirious thoughts of "urgh, am I at my stop yet?" and "God, I hate taking the bus", I started fantasizing about the sort of delectables I could consume once I reached the house. I came up with the idea for a quesadilla-ish meal to finish off the Trader Joe's chicken that I've had for like, two weeks, and the Oroweat Whole-grain and Flaxseed bread I've had for like, a month (really disturbing, I know). But alas, when I got home and smelled the bread, was totally disgusted and the idea got trashed, along with the bread. I can't remember what I ended up eating, but this morning, I woke up thinking, HRMM, I want a tuna-melt sunny-side-egg sandwich!

So I "borrowed" two slices of bread and an egg from their kitchen, and made what turned out to be the best sandwich I've had in a long time! :) Very impressed with my own brilliance, hee. Some other stuff that went in were: the remaining Sriracha-sauced tuna salad (left-over from Friday's sushi meal), organic bell pepper, cilantro & jalapeño hummus (it's like a bottomless tub, I swear!), Monterrey jack cheese, and honey mustard. I'm usually not very good at making sunny-side-up that comes out right, but it came out perfect today! The outer yolk was nice and firm while the inside was slightly runny; exactly how I like it. :)

I downloaded Photoscape the other week, so got to try out the "selective coloring" technique today after looking around for tutorials. That's their little cousin behind the sandwich. She likes to snoop around to ask for bites when I'm eating. :/ See the devious grin?

ETA: Oh yea, yesterday, cooked up the short-grained-rice rice porridge with massive amount of water, and huh, you really can't mess up rice porridge! We ended up going to a Vietnamese restaurant to eat (com tam, yum), but now I'm at a peace of mind that I have an edible tub of rice porridge in the fridge to eat my perusal. :)
