aka short timer's disease, barn-sour, or :eek: :happybirthday:

I'll choose a topic in which I won't sound like a total idiot to make my first post.

I had a sip of an Icee, McDonald's fries, and a six-inch Subway sandwich. I eat really healthy!

Welcome Nivek!

Having had a Subway for brunch, therefore no fries, I'm pleased to say your post made me feel very healthy.

No idea what an Icee is, but I'm about to go out to find something ice cold and fizzy - 28 degrees (82.5) here today. How do they expect people to work productively at this temperature? Thank goodness I won't have another summer in this greenhouse.

Glad it made someone feel healthy...

Today I am having my leaving lunch at Halli, which is our local vegetarian restaurant. Not only is the food mouthwatering, but the service is great and the staff are friendly and personable. They have a remarkable memory for customers' faces. I went in with my parents when they came up at Christmas, and when I went to book this meal (over 2 months later) the waiter asked whether my parents had enjoyed themselves.

Anyway - I'll be having the Lunch Special

I had a "Himalayan Fusion" buffet (two rounds): Chicken Tikka Masala, 3xNaan bread, Curried Yellow Lentils, Capsicum Potatoes (something like sweet curried potatoes and onions, kind of odd but delicious), Jasmin Rice, Tandoori Chicken.

Then I had a half-dozen fresh homemade cookies from the country store next door.

Think that's a lot? You haven't seen me eat on a riding day.

I had a cheese quesadilla and a few cookies...the fucking lunch of champions. :greenface

Not lunch, but dinner last night.

For starters, king mackeral sashimi for me, octopus for SonofV.

Pan seared rainbow trout, sauteed cactus leaves on the side.

Prickly pear for dessert. Yum!

I'll be at the zoo today. Hopefully I can get a panda burger!

the lunch I want is todays IOtD; unfortunately, the broken refrigerator pretty much dooms me to a peanut butter sandwitch

What is an IOtD?

Image of the Day, another forum area towards the bottom of the main page.

Ohhhh I should have known that. :p

Everything bagle, toasted, with cream cheese, cucumber, red onion, and red pepper. We're out of hot salsa :mad:

no apple?

No, the red pepper is really sweet.

I love it when you two have little conversations on here, its like....soooo cute :)

My neighbor brought over some stuffed and grilled jalapenos he made. He stuffed them with cream cheese, wrapped them in bacon then grilled them. They were so good! :thumb2:

I had eggs benedict for brunch today. It was very yummy.

The bbq'd mackerel we had for dinner last night was better though. :)

Lunch on the hoof up the Pier today was bag of chips (fries) and pasty, of the Cornish variety. Assorted nieces & nephews sugared out on candy floss & doughnuts & Slush. (An Icee I think)

What's for Fourth Meal?

healthful chicken tacos.

Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm.

I'm thinking something not healthful.... but then i promise to go work out hard. will that work?

of course! but you have to tell what yummy thing you DID have.

Today I had:
- toasted bagel with Blue Cheese Deli Light (soft cheese)
- cherry fat-free yoghurt
- chocolate Fibre Plus Bar
- apple

I just ate my lunch (5pm :P) it was fish and chips from the village chippy. Drenched in salt and vinegar. But it was only a child's portion because this chippy has some strange ideas about just how much an adult human being should be able to consume in a single sitting.

It was made all the nicer because I had a little sachet of tartare sauce in the cupboard.

Two double decker tacos from Taco Bell.

um.. I sorta failed.... but I did work off more calories than I consumed.....

I had sorta decided to run by a ff burger joint on the way to a 90 minute workout/swim... but I ended up scarfing two packets of crisps/chips that happened to be in the car then doing the eliptial for 30 minutes (huge resistance, first half backwards)

The chips were yummy, though ...although soylent green would probably have been yummy at that point in my day....

I'm very glad that there are none for sale used ...

Nothing....I had nothing for lunch. Had half a bowl of rice for dinner. Sigh...I'm hungry. :thepain: Nopes, not on a diet, just didn't have time.

I love rice with green onions! You should have had a whole bowl!

Self-care must come first, Tulip. Go have a sandwich or a bowl of cereal or something simple like that. : sends hugs :

um... ew.

Tried to make Rabbit Krispie cakes.
I had an issue with the correct Krispie-to-chocolate ratio, they didn't bind properly and cooled down far too quickly, so thay started shedding.

I tried to soften it up with Golden Syrup (we usually make them this way) and made the mixture too loose to set properly.

So the first pic is the few rabbits that made it, but they are crumbly rabbits. Crumbly + Rabbits = Crabbits?

Then I figured I didn't want to chuck away nearly a whole bowl of Chocolate Krispies, so got out the petit four cases. And I'd already made eyes and noses, so I figured I'd use them anyway. Krispies + Features = Kreatures? I dunno. Stevo was visiting and scoffed about a third of the mix for me, because I was bored of it by then. Sweet-toothed younger brothers, if you wait long enough they do come in useful.

Those are really cute and yummy-looking, SG!

Normally, they would put me in the mood for chocolate...but I just finished scarfing down almost a whole box of grocery-store brand "Kraft" mac 'n' cheese for lunch. Bleh. Don't think I'll be having that again for long, long time.

they have different ones , same brand with like 4 cheeses and different noodles and crumbly stuff for the top , they are YUMMMMO !!!!

Oh yeah, those new "homestyle" ones look pretty good!

I'll have to try those next time. I just have the box kind in the pantry right now, and it isn't even real Kraft brand.

They do look like Kreatures. :lol: But very chocolatey. I would eat them. :D

Thanks. It was after 10PM, and I'd prefer to sleep on an empty stomach than a heavy one.

I just had a ham and cheddar on a one slice of russian rye. mmm

I have not eaten my sulfur dioxide laden grapes yet.

( p.s. I didn't know they did that to our grapes! ) grrr:mad2: grumble grumble

Tuna, lettuce, tomato, celery, brocolli, brussel sprouts, vinaigrette (homemade)

Day 4 of "being good"

Only 3 sleeps til payday!
So I am eating pretty much what I can find :)
There were some sausages left over from Friday (at school) so I chopped up two to have with my tin of beans.
Tomorrow I'm taking the bagel Mum has offered and having it with scrambled egg. Nom nom nom. The egg is from Alison who keeps chickens. I've told her I will make a contribution to the fox-proof-fence-fund on Thursday. She doesn't mind, but it makes me feel better.

Chicken Broccoli and Parmesean pasta leftovers. Think it might be the last time even though I still have 3 servings at home. The broccoli isn't going down well :(

Had an Indian food "Tasty Bite" Meal for lunch with wild rice. I think it is called Jaipur Vegetables. It's pretty good. Spicy, but good.

I was really naughty (again) and had a McD's Fillet'o'Fish meal (fillet, fries and a latte)... mainly, it shames me to say, because I am collecting the Monopoly stickers to play for prizes...

That's my third McDs this week.

To make up for it I had a very simple and relatively healthy snack for tea (dinner): a tin of mackerel fillets in tomato sauce, over wholemeal toast.

Oh, no.


Oh no no no no no no no no NO!

I'd rather have a vinegar donut!

It's not something I can eat often. But once every Preston Guild I get a craving for them :P

Kung Pao chicken with steamed rice, delicious but hot, hot, hot.

mexican casserole.

Cafe did a first: to-order gourmet burgers, hot off the grill. It was a wait, but what a great big fat burger with colby cheese (plain except for some salt) and saratoga chips.

that sounds yummy!

I had a sweet potato. Was v. good. :)

skyline chili

dunno but I'm hungry and I have a house guest so I should damn well get on with it......

Toasted millet bread with melted gouda cheese and salsa. Plus a bunch of watermelon and some chocolate almond milk awhile ago. I'm choosing random things out of the fridge before they go bad, as usual.

some chunks of Parmesan cheese, some black forest ham and half a banana. Nothing else really sounded good.

watermelon?! It must be good to be a Texan. :)

I didn't eat lunch but I made up for it by eating a lot of fettuccine alfredo for dinner.

roast beef sammie with horseyradish sauce.

:yum:

This time of year, it sure is. Holding steady at about 80 degrees. Another month and I will probably be less enthusiastic about the whole thing, though.
