thursday's post

I got up at about 9.50AM today, I was feeling really rough and tired for some reason

Breakfast 10.00AM

• for breakfast I had special K flakes, they were alright but the milk tasted kind of off sadly, so I couldn't finish them

Lunch 1.50PM

• for lunch I had rice, peas and carrots in the new smaller container - they were absolutely perfect, very fresh, almost like it had just been cooked
• I also had some spar orange juice, which wasn't too bad at all
• then two pieces of brownie, they were perfect and I got a lot of cherries in them, I kept trying to savour them but I couldn't and I ended up eating them very quickly

Dinner 6.45PM

• for dinner I had a lamb chop, but the butcher hadn't trimmed it (its a shame, this has never happened before) and that left a load of gristle and a bit of bone left on the meat, so a lot of it was quite tough until I discovered the first bit of bone, then I just cut around a lot of it
• with that I had some little mushroom bits with some onions which were lovely and not too strong because the onions were nice and small
• I also had loads of peas which I love, I mixed a bit of the mushroom stuff with the peas - I put a tiny bit of salt on the meat, a little on the mushrooms, a reasonable amount on the peas and some pepper on the peas too
• there were also some chips, which were wonderful, i'm told this is because they are the new season potatoes (i've actually forgotten what the potatoes are called)
• I then had a very nice banana

Snacks

• nah, nothing tonight, I will probably be getting something on saturday though

wednesday's post

today I got up at about 8.40AM and went swimming, it was lovely

Breakfast 8.45AM

• for breakfast I had special K flakes with full fat milk, the milk was very nice today

Lunch 3.15PM

• I had my lunch when I got back, it was some rice with peas and carrots which was very nice, it was a smaller portion before that suited me a lot better, it was also in a little pot instead of being in a tub which I like more because it seems more special
• I also had some spar orange juice which was alright
• my mum put some of the brownies that she made yesterday in my lunch box for me which was lovely of her - they were perfect, she makes them so they have a very thin kind of crunchy top, then you get to a layer of dark chocolate and a bit of cherry if you're lucky, then a cakey bit then the proper chocolately kind of almost gooey brownie bit which is heaven

Dinner 6.45PM

• for dinner I had one piece of tandoori chicken which was very nice, I didn't put any salt or pepper on it, I tried to put some lemon juice on it but I couldn't get much out of the slice which was really frustrating
• I also had two other little pieces of chicken that just had a few herbs on them which was nice too - I got a bit more lemon on these
• there was also some garlic naan bread, I put a lot of salt and pepper on these, and maybe even a bit too much salt on one piece but it was still nice
• there was also some salad, I had two leaves of iceberg lettuce from asda which was alright I suppose, not bad at all
• some tomato slices with salt, pepper and oil on them, this is the first time i've ever tried asda tomatoes and I don't really like them as much as tescos ones, they are too juicy which leaves them with no flavour
• and some cucumber from asda which wasn't amazing
• I then had a banana which I really enjoyed, a few bad bits but apart from that it was alright

Snacks 8.15PM+

• for a snack I had some of the brownies which were amazing, I have a hard time controlling my self with brownies but at the same time, I see no need to control my self at all

tuesday's post

I got up at about 9.40AM today and was in a bit of a foul mood because it wasn't a snow day

Breakfast 9.45AM

• for breakfast I had some special k flakes with full fat milk but the milk tasted like warm water so I didn't finish the cereal

Lunch 1.10PM

• for lunch I had some orange juice
• some carrot sticks, with one of them tasting really strange, kind of like perfume and soap but the rest were nice
• today I had some ham in a sesame seed bun with some mustard on the ham, I had this because my dad bought it to have at london but its actually next week we go to london, so I had the ham for lunch today - it was quite nice, but theres something i've never really liked about cold meat apart from salami, something that makes it a bit difficult to swallow
• I also had one of those flatter scones, which was very nice

Dinner 6.45PM

• for dinner we had spaghetti bolognese, my dad was near the end of the packet of spaghetti so I got a lot more than usual - I put a fair bit of salt on it and a bit of pesto, it was very nice but extremely filling as well - if i'm honest, i'm still full from it now and i'm not really too used to that feeling
• there was also some garlic bread, it was very nice made out of those little mini-baguettes you can get, it wasn't flakey at all which I like
• I then had a very nice banana

Snacks 8.35PM+

• my mum was making some brownies for work today, so I went to see how they were doing and 'found' the bowl to 'help clean' so I had a go at that, it was lovely, very rich and chocolatey
• after that we had a little of the left over chocolate which was lovely, it was sainsburys belgian dark chocolate I think, but i'm not too sure - it was a bit like a more straight forward bournville

monday's post

today I got up at about 8.35AM and went to school, but its probably going to be a snow day tomorrow

Breakfast 8.40AM

• for breakfast I had some special k flakes with full fat milk which were nice

Lunch 1.15PM

• for lunch I started with a nice squashed scone
• some orange juice from spar that tasted kind of like a warm bad orange, but still kind of nice to drink
• and some rice with peas and carrots in it, this was very nice but there was too much for me to have at school so I only had about half of it

Dinner 6.40PM

• for dinner I had griddled chicken, which was wonderful, nice and crispy and not greasy - I put just a little salt on this, barely any
• I also had some roast potatoes, I put quite a bit of salt and pepper on these
• there was also some tomato salad which was tomato slices and bits of onion in an oily dressing which was nice
• I then had the last piece of that lovely plum pudding from last night, it was perfect even after a day
• then I had a near perfect banana

Snacks 8.05PM+

• tonight I had some of those polish wafer biscuits, we had the whole packet because they were just irresistible, I really need to get some more and take some photos of them for the blog because they really were amazing - the problem is my dad likes them as much as me so they don't last very long at all

sunday's post

today I got up at about 11.15AM and went out, it was a good day but i'm still feeling a tad under the weather

Breakfast

• nope, I didn't have anything for breakfast

Lunch 1.35PM (approx, not near clock)

• for lunch we went to eat, I managed to get the last falafel wrap which was brilliant - it seemed to have a bit more sauce than usual which suits me
• after that we went to tesco and had a look in the international section and got some stuff, one of the things we got was some polish wafer biscuit things, and they're absolutely amazing double layered vanilla wafers, a whole packet for only 55p - I had about 3-4 wafers after lunch

Dinner 6.45PM

• dinner was roast lamb which was very nice, I put a fair bit of mint sauce on this
• with that we had some nice roast potatoes, I ended up putting just a little mint sauce on these
• I also had some yorkshire puddings, my mum also gave me one of hers, I don't think there was much mint sauce on these at all
• with that there were a lot of carrots, which I always like, I put a little mint sauce on these
• also there were a lot of peas which I really really enjoy at the moment, I put a bit more mint sauce on these than the carrots, but I mixed them together anyway
• edit: I also had three brussel sprouts that I had completely forgotten about, they weren't really too bad at all, I think i'm warming to them
• I also put quite a bit of gravy on everything, but not too much
• my mum made a pudding today, it was like a big bakewell tart, probably the best pudding/pie thing that shes ever done, she used plum jam with it, the plums are from her friend's garden and she made the jam her self so it was wonderfully sweet but not acidy tasting at all - it was a pastery layer, then moving into a soft but not sticky moist layer, then the jam, then a cakey layer, then into some soft bit then a crunchy top with almond bits on top which was perfect for me

Snacks 8.50PM+

• tonight I had some of that polish stuff, I will check the names of the wafers because they really are special and even better for the price - I had about 1/4 of a packet, leaving a packet for tomorrow
• I then had a piece of the plum pie thing which was amazing (it was also served cold at dinner too, I think its better like this) which leaves some for tomorrow if no-one gets to it first
• we also got some polish crisps today, they are also good value, about £1.72 or something and you get a big bag suited to about 4-5 big servings, they were cheese and onion flavoured and crinkle cut - they were very nice and not too sharp at all, worth getting again but I don't think I want to have something greasy like crisps regularly as a snack because I really hate the feeling on my fingers

saturday's post

on saturday I got up at about 1.00PM to have a go at making crisps, I have tried it before in the microwave but thought I could do a much better job in the oven, I was wrong, it took me 4 potatoes to make about 6 crisps (I only ate about 10 actual crisps through the production process as well)

Breakfast

• nope, I didn't have anything

Lunch

• at lunch time I was trying to make those crisps, I ate a good bit of potato that didn't want to crisp up, but nothing else

Dinner 6.45PM

• for dinner my dad wanted to have a go at using a cut of pork that jamie oliver was talking about on the tv, so we had neck fillet steak - it tastes really interesting, he used the flavour shaker on this one and it had a really varied detailed taste, it tasted peppery as you first tasted it (it had a lot of black pepper corns on it) but then it tasted kind of rich and sweet like curry which was wonderful
• with that he did some green beans with a small amount of onions and tomatoes over them which was very nice
• there was also a normal sized packet's worth of walkers ready salted crisps, these were quite nice and I don't think I have much of a problem with crisps if I can wash my hands properly afterwards
• I also had a slice of bread from the deli bread which was very nice, I dipped it in quite a bit of salt and pepper (didn't add much salt to the meal)
• I also had a little of that saved over tomato and onion salad that I didn't like a couple of nights ago, it was alright, it had a bit of oil on it this time
• I then had a nice banana

Snacks 9.35PM+

• first I had my lunch from earlier, which was a macaroon, this is the first time i've ever had a macaroon and I think it was very nice, it was soft, and satisfyingly tacky without getting gooey and sticky, which was wonderful, it had some almond flakes on top of it which was very nice - I think i'd have one again
• with that I had a bottle of fentiman's dandelion and burdock which was wonderful, I have always liked this drink because its always nice whereas their ginger beer can be muddy tasting sometimes

friday's post

on friday I got up at about 2.55PM, feeling a fair bit clearer than I had the rest of the week (it was a snow day anyway)

Breakfast

• nope, too late for that

Lunch

• I wish I had it, but I didn't get round to it

Dinner 6.45PM

• for dinner we had some kind of chicken stir fry, it was very nice and all together tasted sweet without tasting fishy
• in with the chicken there was spring onions, bean sprouts, other onions, mushrooms and some other little things
• we had noodles with it, which I really liked because we hadn't had them in ages
• I put a small amount of light soy sauce on the meal, tried not to overload it though
• I then had a very nice banana

Snacks 8.50PM+

• first I started with my lunch, I had it so late because i've been feeling strangely full from dinner the last few days - maybe my stomach is shrinking or something weird like that
• I started with my orange juice, we'd run out of the tesco stuff so I had spar's own brand orange juice, it tasted odd, like they had all the flavour of an alright orange, then turned it down a bit
• I then had the rice, which was with peas and carrots - this was lovely, I really love how sweet the peas are
• because I hadn't been liking the scones, my mum had some chocolate left over from when she was baking cakes, so I had some of that, it was tesco's dark chocolate which was very nice, one of those chocolates that tasted tainted, it tasted kind of fruit cakey, or at least sort of fruity
• I then had a little more of the chocolate which was wonderful
• my mum decided she wanted to make some toast, so I had some too - I had one piece, toasted on one side, the side that wasn't toasted, I had horseradish sauce and mint sauce - this was wonderful, but i'm not sure if it was the exact right mix of flavours, I want to try smoke garlic mayonnaise and mint sauce next
