I hurt myself on the bus on my way to work Wednesday. At first I thought it was going to be yet another bruise ("PK" is nothing new to me) until I see a pool of blood. It was quite frightening but I was more shocked at myself that I didn't even know I was bleeding until like 10-15 minutes after the accident.
Luckily, I work next to a hospital so after I put my lunch in the fridge and briefed my co-worker what happened (She now calls me "tofu-woman"), I went to see the doctor... Apparently, my accident is a lot worse than I thought... there is a deep cut in my left leg even though my pants are not torn. (The doctor and nurses and passersby were so amazed the keep asking me how the accident happened.) I also ended up with my first stitch in my life... and the doctor gave me 2 sick days to rest at home since I am not supposed to put pressure on my left leg... (Yippee!!!)
It was really nice to have an unexpected time off~ Since I have some extra time on my hands, I went to the market and bought myself some oysters. I have been craving for Oyster Lettuce congee for some time now. I also spotted some leftover Black Chicken Meatballs in the fridge and threw them in as well~ The end result? Not bad~
 |
| I made the congee from leftover rice. It takes a lot less time to cook! |
 |
| Rinse the oysters with corn starch and salt to get rid of the impurities |
 |
| Washed and sliced lettuce |
 |
Meatballs take ~10 minutes and oysters take ~3 minutes to cook.
I also added some sliced ginger. |
 |
| Lettuce takes < 1 minute to cook. |
OMG that sounds like a really serious injury.... Take care and get well soon!! Though I totally understand the joy of having some extra day-off (even if it's sick leave!) haha.... enjoy your super long weekend! :)
ReplyDeleteThe oyster congee here looks soooooooo tasty... are those small oysters or regular-size oysters? I really should make this some days. Ahhh I shouldn't read this when I have skipped lunch (supposedly to work....)!!!!
I am doing better~ thank you :) the extra time-off makes the difference!
Deleteit's the small oysters. They taste better in congee!
Waiting to read about your other afternoon tea review!
