thursday's post

I got up at about 2.55PM today after not feeling very well again, my mind is full of cookery ideas though - I want to try and make crisps again, and maybe try making popcorn bars

Breakfast

  • nope, I didn't have anything

Lunch

  • I didn't have anything for lunch, and I wish I had

Dinner 6.45PM

  • for dinner my mum brought home some samosas, I had one and a half, they weren't from a her friend as usual, but they were from a restaurant/sweet shop close to her work - they were nicely balanced, the potato wasn't too overpowering and they were wonderfully hot maybe even a little too hot i'm not sure (they didn't have any meat in them)
  • to go with that she made some lamb kebabs which were very nice because she put in some of her own curry spice mix which gave them a strong aftertaste
  • with that she had put some onions and tomatoes in a bowl, I had some of this but because there wasn't any oil/dressing stuff on it, I didn't really go for it
  • I then had a very nice banana

Snacks 9.40PM+

  • for a snack, I had my lunch from yesterday, I started with the scone like I said I would, it didn't really taste malty, but it tasted kind of dulled, and floury - not very nice sadly, I feel like a bastard saying that
  • I then had my rice, which was very nice, today it was rice, with a little bit of soy to stop it from drying out, carrots and peas - now that it has peas in it, I can say that it is lovely, the peas make it taste much sweeter and fresher

wednesday's post

today I got up at about 2.50PM, I tried getting up at normal time but I really felt terrible for some reason

Breakfast

  • nope, I didn't have anything

Lunch

  • nothing again, but I really think I should have had something because I felt quite light headed, I was planning to have my lunch after dinner but I never really got round to it

Dinner 7.05PM

  • for dinner we had the usual pataks chicken curry, it was very nice, my mum usually cooks this but my dad did this time - we had run out of yoghurt so he used some almond stuff instead to thicken it up, I can't say that you could really taste the almonds, but the whole curry tasted sweeter and more intense, i'm not sure but I think I might like it better with almonds
  • we had that on some normal white rice
  • and some garlic naan bread, that was a lot bigger than usual which is always a plus
  • I then had a very good banana

Snacks 8.40PM+

  • my mum was making cakes today for an office party, one was a chocolate fudge cake which is my all time favourite cake and reminds me very much of anything she cooks, because it was for the party I couldn't have any but luckily a bit fell off in the cake pan so I had it - it was perfect, firm and almost crisp on the outside but instantly moist and spoungey on the inside, I spent ages trying to get as much off the pan as possible
  • also, before that I 'helped with the washing up' by having the left over mix from the bowl, which was lovely
  • I then had a little taster of what the cake would taste like from a few broken bits with a little of the chocolate butter cream on top and it was amazing, I just hope the party is canceled so she brings the cake back home

Dear Lush cosmetics

I hate you.



So my dear mother gets a giant package from you, and you idiots pack it with popcorn?? I love popcorn, and theres the problem, every time she gets a package I can't help but eat quite a bit of this disgusting popcorn.



really it is disgusting, it tastes like soap, but my brain automatically thinks that popcorn is a treat, so I always try and fool my tastebuds into enjoying this foul packing foam substitute. Heres another thing, why don't you sell snacks? Half your product line smells like sweeties but I can't eat it - whats that about?? the publics crying out for snacks you know



Whats the point in my mother getting anything if I can't get at it first? I'm trying to keep up my tough guy persona here so I can't use a bubble gum bubble bath and yes I was tempted to eat this too.



So I get your popcorn, and I try and put some sugar and golden syrup on it, its still disgusting and soapy.



thats right


you drove a young man to put sugar and syrup on a bowl of packing materials

happy now???

also I don't even like your shampoo

tuesday's post

today I got up at about 11.30AM whilst still feeling pretty rough, generally quite a down day sadly

Breakfast

  • nope, I didn't want anything today

Lunch

  • I didn't get round to it, so I had my lunch after dinner

Dinner 6.30PM

  • for dinner my mum wanted stew, so we had it how she liked it which was beef stew, with some little bits of carrot in it, it also had the usual onion and mushroom bits in it nice and small like I like it
  • with that I had a baked potato
  • and some very nice peas (my mum got some on the way home)
  • we didn't have rice or dumplings which I find strange but it didn't stop it being a very nice meal
  • after that I had a very good banana

Snacks 7.45PM+

  • first I had my lunch, it was some rice like the day before, with just some carrots in it - I don't know, its not like it was cooked badly, I just don't know if i'm enjoying it so much, I need to think of something new to have that i'd really enjoy
  • I tried to have my scone, but it had that horrible malt taste to it again so I couldn't get past one bite, I gave it to my dad and he couldn't taste a thing, tomorrow i'm going to do a test, i'm starting to think it is the soy sauce on the rice ruining how i'm tasting the scone - so tomorrow i'll try my scone first
  • a while after that my mum gave us some pikelets that she got on the way home from work, I had two, on one I had peanut butter and on the other I had golden syrup - they were both lovely but the golden syrup one was the best, I think i'm going to try combining peanut butter and golden syrup and seeing what that tastes like next time we have some pikelets in the house

monday's post

on monday I first tried to get up at about 8.25AM but I really wasn't very well at all so I got up at about 2.30PM and felt rough all day

Breakfast

  • nope, really too late for that

Lunch 4.40PM

  • for lunch I had some orange juice which still tasted like egg which wasn't very nice at all
  • I then had some rice, it had been cooked the night before, just white rice with some soy sauce to keep it from going dry and some little bits of carrot, it was meant to have peas too but there weren't any. I don't know if I really liked this, I think I need the peas to help sweeten the whole thing up but i'm not sure
  • I then tried to have my scone, it was horrible, I really couldn't eat it and I don't know what was wrong with it, it tasted like terrible beer

Dinner 6.45PM

  • for dinner I had a piece of fried bread with some baked beans on top of it, and it was wonderful - perfect bread, I also added quite a bit of pepper to the beans and a little salt
  • with that I had some sausage patties which were lovely, not very greasy at all and I ended up adding quite a bit of pepper and quite a bit of salt to them (I know I shouldn't add salt to these but I always seem to)
  • there was also some bacon which I spent ages eating
  • and some chips, which were very nice
  • I then had a near perfect banana

Snacks 8.10PM+

  • tonight we had some chocolate peanuts and raisins, they were both from spa, and they were probably the best chocolate raisins i'd ever had, much better than the expensive holland and barret ones, the chocolate peanuts were very good as well - the raisins were out of the pick and mix, and had a slightly, its hard to put it into words, fragrant, almost flowery or fruity taste to them which was perfect, i'm guessing this is because they've had a chance to mix with lots of other sweets

sunday's post

today I got up at about 12.50PM, I finished watching the tribe series 3 which was amazing (my favourite show)

Breakfast

  • nah, I got up too late and I don't like having anything on a sunday anyway

Lunch

  • nope, I should have had something because I got really quite hungry but I didn't get round to it

Dinner 6.50PM

  • dinner was roast pork, which was very nice apart from I got a bit of string in mine (maybe my father doesn't like me anymore) I had about the average amount of gravy for me on the whole meal, not too much but probably a little more than the average person
  • on the pork I also put a lot of crab apple jelly, probably a lot more than I normally would, instead of just picking up the pork flavour a bit, it actually made it taste sweet
  • with that i had some crackling
  • some roast potatoes that I put a little bread sauce on, i'm warming to bread sauce now, its so nice and thick
  • some yorkshire puddings, a little bit of the bread sauce managed to get on them
  • a little bit of broccoli that got quite a bit of bread sauce on it
  • the main amount of the bread sauce was for the mix of mashed carrot and mashed swede, I don't know if its the best place for bread sauce but I like it
  • a lot of it also went onto some brussel sprouts which aren't too bad, still not my favourite thing
  • after that I had a perfect banana

Snacks 9.10PM+

  • for a snack I had my lunch from saturday, which was something that I think was called a vienna cup, it was wonderful, in a fairy cake casing it was a slightly cakey, cake shaped, biscuit that went in a bit at the centre where there was the best creamy kind of jelly strawberry topping thing i've ever had - it also had some icing sugar on top of it
  • with that I had a fentiman's lemonade which was very nice too, not bitter but I did have a lot of trouble getting the bloody thing open
