When Time Sits on your CHOPPING BOARD

Sometimes life is so calm and chilled. It almost seems like the clock is moving backwards. It is great for a while and then...Just. Like. That...you're dead bored! Appreciate those times. Savor them and guard them selfishly!!! Because as I am grudgingly learning, life can go from zero to 100 faster than you can say BMW M6!!!

Tonight I prepared a prawn stir fry in under 15 min. I won't share the recipe because, yes, you guessed it- I am busy. But I will share a tip.

If you've frozen prawns that you'd like to cook without using the microwave, just soak them in water at room temperature for 5 min. Microwaving them is tricky because prawns cook very fast and if you've a microwave like mine- the defrost button is not to be trusted. Also general rule of thumb though I fall short- try and buy prawns fresh not frozen:-) What do you think? Leave a comment...

Cheers to 2013 everyone and watch this space.

  2. hey Lady!!! Thanks for the feedback. In my experience, I would be inclined to disagree. If at all I think the effect would be so minimal. Also given the fact that one is in a hurry, beggars are not choosers! But I will look it up. Thanks!
