Pan-Seared Pork with Black Vinegar Sauce

I think I'm gradually falling sick here.

Every time I try to swallow my saliva,

My throat hurts.

I also feel hot,

Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying that I'm cute or something,

Hot, by all means, my forehead is burning,

There's no doubt that I can make a sunny side up egg on my forehead now,

I got the heat, and I got the oil.

Usually I cook on Sundays so I'll have enough food to last me through out the week,

Unfortunately (maybe luckily),

My picky palate refused to let my body rest.

Instead of resting on the bed, eating frozen food for the next few days,

I decided to drag myself to the supermarket and step into the kitchen,

I don't wanna eat frozen food, no nO NO!

I did find a way to compromise this situation,

Making something simple and nutritious,

So I don't need to use up all my leftover energies in the kitchen,

Sending the frozen food back to the freezer with my smiley face.
