Do you ever cook more than 1 meal at time?

I multi-task.

As I write this, I am also cooking.

• Plum sauce chicken thighs roasting in the oven
• Rice in the rice cooker
• 8 individual bacon and egg quiche are baking for tomorrow’s lunch
• On the stove top, a pot of congee bubbling away
• Chicken wings marinating in the fridge to go with the congee
• Choy sum (Chinese mustard greens) sitting in pieces on the chopping board with sliced ginger and garlic, ready to be thrown into the pan when the chicken is almost ready.

Tonight’s dinner, tomorrow’s breakfast and lunch prepped and cooked in just 1 hour.

I don’t usually pump meals out like this, but it’s good to know I can load up my bases if I need to.

I’ve got a million projects on at once at the moment (eating and design). It’s fantastic and I’m enthusiastic about all of them, but I need to prioritise so I don’t burn out. I already knew this was coming. My horoscope predicted the year of the rabbit would be just like so usually horoscopes are a more between the lines.

“The Pig will be feeling good in 2011 and would like all manner of wonderful things to happen – all at once! He must learn to pace himself and go along with the more leisurely speed of the Rabbit year. Otherwise, he may burn himself out.”
