Yeah, one of the things I really enjoy is getting those creative juices flowing and participating in the challenges, and it's been hard for me to get motivated lately. This past one I had several really great ideas but I kept getting the wind knocked out of me and in moments where I might have had time to execute, I just didn't have the mental focus to pull it off. Sigh. Like today I have light work and it's mostly remote via computer stuff, so I am peeking into the forum here and there...and realistically I could go in the kitchen in about an hour and bust something out and write it up by 7 but that feels like work, being rushed to submit on time and not fun, so to heck with it.
I did some mystery shop carryout meals yesterday so I don't have to cook, just reheat and eat. One of them is FF from a Chinese chain and I recently found out that I like their chow mein noodles. I always got their fried rice and it's mediocre compared to family owned joints (or my own) and was really happy to find out that the chow mein noodles are awesome! I got a container that has orange chicken, teriyaki chicken, and the noodles. I can get 3 meals out of that. And of course I was quite full from the humongous mystery shop lunch sandwich yesterday so I didn't eat much last night when I got home.
