Lunch Brake.

LUNCH
Watercress + Tofu + Mushrooms

Ingredients :
4 cloves of garlic (minced)
I tube or rectangle of soft tofu, cubed (haha.)
Mushrooms - either shiitake or something similar to that. Button mushrooms somehow do not taste that great with Tofu (Button mushrooms are pretty blah to begin with)
Watercress (a small bunch costs about 13p from SM. Get two bunches), chopped.
Oyster sauce
Pepper
Extra Virgin Olive oil (you can use any ordinary cooking oil but EVOO just sounds fancier.)

1. Heat pan. Note: Do not overheat the pan as if the EVOO starts burning, it will release free radicals which, as most radicals are, bad for you.)
2. Lightly sautee' the garlic.
3. Throw in the chopped mushrooms.
4. Once the garlic and mushroom are lightly cooked (you would know this by the smell), throw in the watercress.
5. Wait until the mix has taken a more cohesive appearance (so sue me, I don't speak cookbookenese) gently throw in the tofu.
6. Do not overmix as soft tofu tends to get crushed easily.
7. Season with pepper and oyster sauce.

You can either top this over rice or eat it on its own. I am going to be serving this for lunch with steamed cream dory that has been marinated in lemon juice and salt. For balance, serve vanilla ice cream with either maple or chocolate syrup on top. M&Ms are optional.

Yeah, yeah, I know i've been griping too much about bloody work but I had a great epiphany last Friday.

So whilst chasing my blues away with legal alcohol (illegal alcohol is alcohol taken with either ampethamines, grass or a really, really bad boy) I overheard this bloke.

Ugly bloke : "You stupid fucker, if you fucking love what you're doing, just fucking do it!"

I think he and his companion was discussing something else. I don't care. He's absolutely correct.

Here's something that completed my day:

Line managers notes on an associates performance : *bleep* tends to be defensive during feedback sessions. She is repulsive to feedback."

Yeaaaaahhhhh....

BTW. Quantum of Solace is screening on the 5th of November. YAY!
