Move over Julia! Bon Appetite!

One of the biggest decisions we seem to have to make every single day is what to eat. It's easier to decide to move halfway around the world, or what sofa to get for the house. You only have to make those kinds of decisions once or twice in your life, but a meal is something you try to have 3 times a day 365 days a year! I hate having to make that decision! Partially because I don't care what I eat, I'll eat anything. However, at the same time, that meal could determine a lot in the near future. It could make or break the way the next day could go! You could be on top of your game or on top of the...well we know the downside... So Cassie and I were contemplating that question that haunts me daily, "What are we going to have for dinner?"....It's usually after Cassie has watched Ratatouille or I have walked by the herbs and spices section in the grocery store that we get this urge to try to be culinary chefs, but this time we were just minding our business walking down by the ocean when we saw the boats selling fresh seafood from the pier. We've seen them tons of times and never had the desire to buy from them, but tonight was different. We starved for something so fresh from the ocean. So with a little impulsiveness we leaned over the rail and pointed to the crabs and asked how much. $100 HKD for one. We would have to wait another night (I still had to buy pull-ups for my potty-training baby) so we opted for the cheaper clams! For not having much of a supply when it comes to kitchen staples like pepper or sweet basil we did okay. We made a mean Curry Clams that made our Saturday night dinner in our furniture-less apartment feel like a night on the town! Needless to say we survived another one of those nasty decisions. (which made me more thankful for Fast Sunday. That's 24 less meals we have to worry about a year!)
