Briny Wings

Breakfast for the girls was HK-style: eggs and rice and soy sauce. While they were eating that I made them chicken wings with rice and spinach for lunch. Chicken wings were part of my brined wings from last night, and I went with a deep fry today which made them look a lot more attractive but hopefully no less tasty.

This was the first batch - they ended up with five apiece. After they set off for school, I sat down with a cup of decaf that I had bought by accident when we were staying in Weehawken, NJ last month. It's called Cafe Buen Dia by Juan Valdez. I suppose the green lid should have tipped me off to the fact it is decaf ... In spite of that, it is a mighty tasty brew, if you don't mind instant (and I don't)

After school we went to Foodland, not to be confused with Foodymart. Foodland is a sort of upscale-but-not-really place. They do have half of an isle that is devoted to organic and gluten-free products, and they also have a pretty nice selection of fresh pasta. Tucked away in the corner almost out of sight was a couple of tureens that contained a creamy-looking broccoli soup, and a bean and beef chili that smelled so tempting we had to get some. We ate the chili with thick pita bread and the rest of the chicken wings and then everyone kind of dozed off. I did stay up long enough to have my green tea with honey and lemon, and half a tub of my favourite yoghurt. I am eating a tub every two-three days. Is it possible to overdose on yoghurt?
