Adrenaline Rush, Sustenance for MOM-somnia

I am pretty sure you have heard of insomnia. Have you heard of mom-somnia? Hahaha my friend introduced this term to me because I have it every now and then. It is the inability for a mom to sleep after feeling overtired. This is one of the greatest torture for me, because I had always used to be a person who could sleep anytime, anywhere I want. That was before I had a child. Goodbye to my good old days.

Why adrenaline rush? Hahaha it is because when I am sleep deprived (especially if the son woke up more than 6times the night before), I tend to be zombified but I still got to manage taking care of him somehow. So in order to cope with the day, I sometimes create excitement or adrenaline for myself to stay awake throughout the day!

Adrenaline is ....

How do I "self-induce" adrenaline:

1. The unhealthy and fattening way -Sweet food aka desserts or junk food

2. Keep some recipes in hand to recreate them myself - Food experiments, I'd like to call them and then I feed on the sense of accomplishment as the source of my adrenaline, oh my goodness right?

Today, I would like to share on something I made. It is honey roasted chicken wings. It was inspired by those "siu kai yek" (BBQ wings) that always smells so good when I walked by them stalls.

It is rather easy to do. I washed the wings and dapped them dry with kitchen towels. I marinaded them in honey, soy, pepper, salt, more garlic for an hour. Then I seared them on the pan to get them brown on the outside and into the oven they go (after I brushed more marinade on them), for half an hour at 200C. Then VOILA!

More food experiments coming up! I am not a trained chef and I cook for fun. Hope you enjoy reading how I create my own adrenaline to go through my day!
