There are times in your life when you just don't feel up to cooking. In such times, I often buy korokke (Japanese-style croquettes), tonkatsu (breaded pork cutlets), and other deep-fried items.
Yesterday, I went on a little splurge and bought these sashimi:
長い人生では、料理をしたくない時があるものです。そんな時は、私はコロッケ、豚カツなどの揚げ物を買うことが多いですが、
昨日はちょっと贅沢して、こんな刺身を買いました。

Hmm, I think there are many times in my life when I don't feel up to cooking. Having a full-time job takes all the energy out of me!
