Nice people thread part 4 - sugar and spice and all things

Nikkster

I'll let you know on a day when I haven't eaten so much junk - has been a long week at work, had to go home via the supermarket so got in extra late, and had an argument when I got home... they're my excuses and I'm sticking to them!

I can tell you that I LOVE mushrooms... unfortunately I live with someone who is allergic to them so I don't get to eat them very often any more

Now I am :eek: at what PN ate today. I would get really blocked up if I ate that in a day.
Fascinating to read what people in eat in a day though.........maybe to intro Nikkster into posting we could do a 'what I ate today' post.
I've never done this before.:)

Today I ate;
Bowl raw oats with apple juice, linseeds, crushed seeds and an apple.
Feta cheese salad (olives/toms/parsley/cucumber) and homemade couscous with roasted veg, garlic bread (nasty processed asda one I confess), some plain walkers crisps, mixed green leaves and olive oil.

Masses of caffeine in 2 teas and 3 coffees.
2 glasses red wine (a nice £6 beaujolais)

Some fridays it's fish and chips but not tonight as tomo is finish cataloguing range @ 8am, load up van with masses of stuff for trade show, drive to Earls court, set up stand (lots of lugging and tramping) and late back tomo pm so will have the F+C tomo pm I think (with a giant slad of course).

One of the things i like least about holidays is how much worse our diet is. This AM I had ibuprofen, toast aand marmalade (2 slices). Lunch was a chese, plastic chicken slice and pickle white roll with coleslaw, in the afternoon I had an apple (most of till DS saw it and decided he would 'finish' it for me) then dinner was home made macaroni cheese, green beans and tomatoes.

Also had DD2 vomiting - not sure if it was what DD1 had a couple of days ago or because they get lots of sweet and sometimes even fizzy drinks on hols they do not get at home which means they tend to fill their bellies with fluid at the start of each meal and then have to force the food down.

Call me a miserable old !!!!!! but I just find life so much more straight-forward at home.

seriously nikkster, none of what I [STRIKE]contribute[/STRIKE] force on the thread is stuff worth reading..as you have read! Its theraputic though, for me! Sometimes really good stuff gets said here, the rest of the time we are a bit like tabloid readers at a bar. But sillier. And more comfortable.


Raw beetroot is yummy: we have none, I'm very jealous!. How little, too little to have as intensley sweet but roasted?

Mine goes between a general moan and a general view of my very boring life.....but like yours, it is very theraputic.

And saves eldest the earache :rotfl:

Today I had

Shredded wheat (2) with skimmed milk.
A slice of toast and butter for lunch
An ice cream
Home made spaghetti bologneise with a small piece of garlic bread.

Plus of course, copious amounts of tea and water.

what can i do with ickle beetroot? can we eat them whole?

yes. Or wrap them in foil with a bit of butter and some garlic and bake them <yum>

neverdespairgirl

Today I had 6 cups of tea with milk, lots of water, a tuna sandwich, and a handful of aspirin as I feel feverish (hence the lack of grub)

Generali

I was massive bowl of cereal for brekkie, cheese and onion sanga for lunch and chateaubriand (done properly with watercress, fried potatoes, bearnaise sauce and red wine jus*) followed by iles flotantes (sp?) for pud as we had BiL and his girl round for dinner and a nice pinot noir to wash it down. A couple of apples between meals to keep the Generali tummy from rumbling.



*I'm not being pompus. The difference between gravy and jus is the former is thickened with flour or similar whereas the latter is thickened by 'reduction', ie boiling off some of the liquid in the sauce and adding a little butter at the end.

What I ate today (just to prove I can keep this up):
Breakfast: 3 skinless sausages, 2 spoons baked beans, 2 scrambled eggs, 2 slices of toast (one topped with jam), black coffee
Mid Morning Break: A small Danish pastry (they're free/part of morning coffee)
Parked up somewhere on the motorway when it ground to a halt: some cereal bar I had kicking around in the car
Tea: Chips, curry sauce and a slice of bread/marg.

He's been doing this since I was a teenager in the 1960s, so he must be knocking on a bit.

I think he died in the past 4-6 years; son took over.
