Quick-fix Meal

Lao Gong attended a course on mon,thus leaving me and clover HOME ALONE again.Having to take care of clover means little time to prepare meals,not to mention the washing up.Fortunately,I have hardy vegetables on hand for times like this when I cannot step out of the house and is hungry.Simply dump the potato,carrot,xiao bai cai into the steamer,whip up some mayo with a squirt of lemon juice and slice some store-bought eel,yipee dinner is ready within minutes.Toss in some tomatoes for its lycopene(cancer-fighting content),I have a well-balanced meal.What more can I ask for??hehe...However,it is also worth mentioning that lycopene content in tomatoes is higher after tomatoes are cooked.Hmm..perhaps next time I should serve potatoes with tomato sauce to my lao gong?As lycopene also helps to prevent prostate cancer,which is getting prevalent these days.
By not cooking much leaves me more time to entertain clover,and I like to think that she enjoys my company,haha.....
