sunday's post

I got up at about 10.35AM on sunday and had some really nice stuff to eat, it reminded me of christmas

Breakfast

• nope, I didn't have anything but I kept thinking about having one of those brilliant spearmint chews

Lunch 4.50PM (approx, not near a clock)

• we ate so late because going round town, we found that all our normal eat places were closed so we had to go to a bigger one
• after the disappointment of seeing both the flea market, a few other shops and even the sweet shop closed (needed to get more of those wonderful spearmint chews) I felt I needed to pull out all the stops for lunch (and there wasn't any falafel anyway) so I had a peking duck wrap, it was lovely with lots of spring onion but these are very soft, I think I should have tried a mexican chicken wrap
• I also went for a nice big chocolate chip cookie, it was really expensive and not as good as a tesco cookie but it was still worth it

Dinner 7.15PM

• we had roast lamb for dinner which was wonderful and warming, the lamb was perfect too
• with that there was some roast potatoes
• some yorkshire puddings
• and a mix of spring greens
• and kale, the mix of the two of them tasted a bit weird, kind of like spinach
• on that I put a fair amount of gravy
• and loads of wonderful mint sauce, mainly on my meat but I made sure some made it to the veg as well
• after this I had a perfect banana
• then my mum got out some more of her stuff that she got given from belgium, they were these little fingernail sized round biscuits that looked like amaretti biscuits but tasted like wonderfully light little bits of crunchy ginerbread with loads of different nutty, spicy flavours in little bites
• and I tried port properly for the first time, I had about half of one of those funny little glasses worth of Warre's Warrior, it was surprisingly very nice and I liked it a lot more than any scotch i've ever had, it tasted like what wine should taste of if wine was hot - it wasn't off puttingly strong and it didn't have like a burning aftertaste, it was just hot and spicey whilst tasting like a really nice and deep red wine kind of flavour

Snacks 8.45PM+

• I first had some of those lovely little ginger bread biscuits
• a few very nice chocolate gingers
• I also had my saturday lunch, which was wonderful - it was a nice slice of perfect carrot cake with no bad bits in it
• and a fentiman's ginger beer which wasn't too muddy at all

got two exams coming up in the next 2 weeks

sadly I might fall a bit behind on the posts, but with any luck i'll be able to keep it up no problem

saturday's post

today I got up at about 9.20AM to go swimming

Breakfast

• nah, I really don't like it on a saturday

Lunch 1.30PM (approx, not near a clock)

• we went to the chippy so I had a very nice battered sausage, it was giant and the batter was perfect
• I also had some very nice chips with it, but there were actually too many so I had to leave some
• we then went to the sweetshop where I got £1 worth of white mice
• and £1 worth of spearmint chews which are absolutely amazing and i'd fully recommend them to anyone and everyone

Dinner 6.35PM

• for dinner we had lots of different things, one of the first things I had and continued to have throughout the meal was little pieces of lamb which were lovely, I was also asked if I wanted to finish off the smoked garlic mayonnaise and apparently i'm ruining lamb by putting garlic mayonnaise on it
• I also had some chicken parcels, for us thats chunks of chicken wrapped in bacon which I really like, I put garlic mayonnaise on some of these too
• there was also some bread from the deli which was nice
• and some wonderful chips, probably the best in ages (twice a day, I feel like its my birthday)
• there was also some salad which was lettuce
• cucumber
• and tomato but one bit of tomato was a bit off
• I also had a banana, this hand is from the green grocer again and it was wonderful, no wood inside at all

Snacks 8.40PM+

• for a snack today we had some of my mum's christmas chocolate, it was two big blocks of this belgian milk chocolate from the sweet shop, it was wonderfully creamy and long lasting and defiantly worth having again - it was also a welcome change from dark chocolate

friday's post

today I got up at about 8.15AM after not enough sleep - one strange thing to note today, theres been a problem with our water, for a little it came out dirty brown and like the genius I am, I drank some without noticing

Breakfast 8.25AM

• for breakfast I had some of that cluster cereal but I could barely get a few mouthfuls in because the milk really was off

Lunch 1.15PM

• lunch was nice, I had some orange juice that I had very fast
• a very nice scone
• a sesame seed bun that was strangely soft with some of that salami with peppercorns going round it, on it
• I also had some carrot sticks

Dinner 8.35PM

• for dinner my dad did baguette sandwiches with some very nice mixed pork and beef mince burgers in them
• sadly the sandwich was too big and mine fell apart so I ate it just in separate parts
• he made a wrong, and dangerous move and put sauce on the table - something that I can never resist, so on the bread that I had on its own I put a lot of bick's hamburger relish and a little branston hot chili and jalapeno pepper relish, combined with a lot of salt and pepper
• in the sandwich there was also some tomato slices and some lettuce, these had garlic mayonnaise on them but for some reason I couldn't resist putting a lot of relishes on these too, along with salt and pepper
• I then got to the actual burger bits, I had these covered in the branston relish with a little bick's relish for good measure, and of course a load of salt and pepper - they were wonderful but i'm getting a lot of complaints that when food is made for the evening meal it is seasoned delicately with care, I understand that I am butchering the flavours but I don't think I mind much
• after that I started to have a banana and I thought I could taste the seeds again, something i've been having with all the bananas on this hand but when I had a look it has actually started to have that wooden centre problem, now i'm pretty sure all the bananas on this hand must have had this problem, these were tescos bananas whereas we usually have bananas from a man at the green grocers

Snacks 8.45PM+

• first I had some medium/little sized toblerone triangle pieces which were wonderfully sweet
• after that I had a few thortons chocolate gingers (some of my dad's christmas chocolate, I think we're getting worryingly close to the end of the christmas chocolate)

thursday's post

today I got up at about 8.05AM and its been a very strange and interesting day for food

Breakfast 8.15AM

• for breakfast I had that nestle cereal with loads of clusters in it, the milk was a little better this time but I still couldn't finish all of it

Lunch 1.45PM

• for lunch I had a sesame seed bun with some salami in it
• some carrot sticks
• some orange juice
• a scone
• and after all that I slowly ate some of those lovely chocolate coins

Dinner 6.40PM

• dinner was really interesting, for the first time in many years we had a proper premade meal (i'm not counting the wonderful fish fingers here) to see if I like them my mum bought some chicken kievs with garlic and I think it was basil inside them
• they were from sainsburys, the meat itself was kind of wet and slithery which wasn't too nice but I did over all really enjoy them and i'm really looking forward to trying them homemade
• with that we had some carrots
• some broccoli
• and what I think was potato gratin which was very nice but it always manages to stay incredibly hot and only for me for some reason
• I also had a tiger bread roll which was nice
• after that I had a banana, it was nice but I could still taste the seeds really clearly (something wrong with this hand, they've all been a bit iffy)

Snacks 8.15PM+

• first I had a can of dr.pepper that was on special offer and it was amazing, I forgot how nice this stuff is, its a clear, almost creamy easy going sweet taste and I love it
• after that I tried what i'm told were pikelets, they were quite nice but really really heavy with some butter on them, I think they could be lovely with some golden syrup on them instead of butter
• after that I had the left over tiger bread roll

wednesday's post

ok so I got up at about 8.05AM on wednesday and later on I managed to scrape my chin swimming (manliest injury possible)

Breakfast 8.10AM

• breakfast was that nestle cluster cereal again and it wasn't that nice at all because the milk is still really strange, I just tried to eat anything that kept away from the milk

Lunch 11.15 (see snacks for the rest)

• because I wanted to get down to the pool, I had some of my lunch early - I had some very nice carrot sticks
• and some orange juice

Dinner 6.35PM

• dinner was very nice, we had sausages and mash
• I had 3 sausages
• some mash
• and some kale, I haven't had kale in a while and it was very nice, its a nice refreshing vegetable
• on that I had a load of onion gravy
• I ended up using quite a bit of pepper because we were still on that lo salt rubbish which I can't spread evenly at all

Snacks 7.45PM+

• first I had my salami sesame seed bun from lunch, I put some mint sauce and horseradish on it
• then I had my scone, the bottom of it was incredibly smooth and it was brilliant
• later on I had two very impressive biscuits that my mum got given from belgium, I think they must have been christmas biscuits, they tasted really light but still kind of mixed and fragranced - you could also taste egg quite strongly which wasn't even a bad thing, they were also very hard but not powdery. A good way to explain them would be like a less powdery version of the little sweetie bits on top of those little gem biscuits but with a much more expansive flavour

tuesday's post

today I got up at about 7.55AM and I was going to be on time for the first time in ages but then of course, loads of trains canceled

Breakfast 8.00AM

• for breakfast I had this kind of nice nestle cereal with loads of those clusters in it but there was something weird about the milk, it could very well be because it'll be older milk, or the cold but it made the cereal taste cold

Lunch 12.25PM

• for lunch I had a wonderful sesame seed bun with some very nice salami in it which had some very nice peppercorns going around it
• I also had some orange juice
• some perfectly refreshing carrot sticks
• and a perfect scone that wasn't too hard, and certainly not too soft
• also a very kind friend gave me a toffee crisp bar that he didn't want, it was lovely

Dinner 6.45PM

• for dinner we had pork souvlaki kebab things that I usually put a bit of lemon juice on but we had them with noodles so I put too much light soy on them which turned out very nice
• the noodles were perfect, apart from me putting so much light soy on them, they had spring onions, white onions, some red that I can only guess was pepper and some other stuff rolling about
• after that I had one of those bananas from the same hand as the wooden banana, it tasted almost perfect, could taste the seeds a little but apart from that it was perfect

Snacks 8.15PM+

• first I had some of that hard nougat, I don't know if i'm really so hot on it at the moment
• I then had some haribo starmix, it is amazing how soft and wonderful the haribo fried eggs are compared to the brand that the sweet shop uses (the sweet shop ones just may have been a bit stale from how long i'd kept them though)
