A Night in the Life

1) Slice an eggplant into wedges about an inch by half an inch by a quarter of an inch. Fry in very hot oil in a wok, tossing with one or two tablespoons of hoisin sauce. When limp, remove them and drain them and pour out all but about a tablespoon of oil.
2) Fry thinly sliced fresh ginger, green onions, small red chilies, and crushed garlic until brown; add thickly sliced pork loin and fry until pale-white. Add more hoisin, sambal oelek, soy sauce, brown sugar, and rice vinegar to taste.
3) Put the eggplant back in the wok along with roughly torn baby bok choy leaves. Toss hot and simmer until the eggplant turns to mush. Add cornstarch if desired.
4) Spoon over red rice. Enjoy with a Tremblay. Reflect that perhaps you should not buy groceries when stupidly happy because it is expensive, but finally decide this is why life is sweet.

Later, have your roommate eat all the wonderful and expensive food that you have prepared.
