Today, for lunch, I made a sandwich with scrambled eggs, bacon and tomato. My late dad used to make this for me as breakfast. My dad was an amazing cook.

Kale, mushroom, onion stir fry with beef burger with parmesean cheese melted on the beef patty.  I also made Choyote broth with pork bones, orange peel and carrots. My aunt came over to play with baby and enjoyed dinner with mom, hubby and I.

Tonight, I made Hong Kong Style Baked Pork Chop.  I made it because I always order it in Hong Kong Cafes.  It was easy.  This is was how I made it.  First, I marinated the pork chop with soy sauce and corn starch. Then I fried the pork chop over medium heat for 2 minutes on each side.  Then, I made the tomato sauce, which is the highlight of this dish.  It is easy.  Stir fry some chopped onions over high heat.  Then, throw in the tomatoes.  I had some packets of ketchup at home from McDonald's so I used 3 packets.  I put in a couple of drops of light soy sauce.  Finally, I poured half a can of chicken broth into this mixture and brought this "soup" to a boil.  To thicken the sauce, I poured in a slurry of corn starch and water.  For the rice, I made fried rice with scrambled eggs, frozen carrots, peas and beans. I poured the fried rice into a casserole dish, placed the fried pork chop on top, covered it with the tomato sauce and sprinked parmesean cheese on top and put it

The former benefits our wallets and latter benefits the environment.  So this is how he does it.  He is very organized.  He actually has an inventory list of the staple food in our home and that includes the examples of rice, soy sauce, ginger, garlic, milk and eggs.  He checks the physical inventory at home to see which ones he needs to buy during his weekly grocery shopping trip.  He also checks flyers of his two favorite supermarkets to see what is on sale to determine what groceries to buy.  He only buys groceries that are on sale so he has a list of sale items that he refers to.  Only buy
