tuesday's post

on tuesday I got up at about 11.10AM and tried to get a good bit of work done

Breakfast

• I didn't have a set meal but I did have a few of those halva wafers, and I still can't work out if I like them - I don't think i'd buy them again but if I was offered, I don't think I could resist trying them again

Lunch 1.25PM

• for lunch I had some pasta shells with some
• peas
• and carrots with pesto on all of it, it was wonderful and kept me going, I really like having a hot lunch instead of a funny cold sandwich

Dinner 6.35PM

• for dinner my dad did some chicken with some onions and mushrooms on top of it, he intended for us to put some sweet chili sauce on top of the chicken but I went a bit far and drowned the chicken in the stuff, and I don't regret it
• there was also some kale, I ate the kale first with a bit of salt and a little pepper on it (I ate it first so it wouldn't get much sweet chili sauce on it) I like kale, I think its all the positive points of cabbage and spinach without any of the negatives
• I also had a baked potato, but I couldn't really control my self with that either and I ended up putting loads of sweet chili sauce on it, really too much (don't regret it again) so my eyes started to water and my nose started to run, I also put a bit of salt and pepper on this too
• after all this I had a very nice banana, its one of asda's bananas which aren't bad at all, not up to the standard of the ones we get at the local shops but much much better than anything tesco has ever delivered

Snacks 8.10PM+

• first we started off with finishing the vanilla wafers, I tried to go slowly on these but they really are lovely
• my mum decided that we shouldn't have piklets hanging around too long, so we had some of those (I can't remember when she bought them) I had 3, they were very nice and I had golden syrup on them - they tasted kind of smokey, almost like curry powder which was strange but nice
• after that I had two stroopwafels because my mum got some as a present and they were absolutely amazing as always, they also tasted kind of like curry powder but I kind of liked this for some reason

I really will catch up tomorrow

sorry about this, been a bit bogged down, i'm going to london on thursday so that day will be to catch up too

monday's post, finally figured out what the polish wafers were

today I got up at about about 9.10AM to go charity shopping and look for more polish snacks, I didn't have any luck at the charity shops but I found a lot more polish things which was wonderful, I later went out which was wonderful too

Breakfast

• nope I didn't have anything for breakfast because I wanted to get out of the house quickly

Lunch

• we went to subway for lunch, I really wanted to ask for a vegetable patty (seems the most strange and interesting thing to try) but I was intimidated by the whole process and shop its self again so I just went for the 3 cookies for 99p thing, I wanted one of those double chocolate chip ones or whatever (the black cookies) but the man put the wrong one in the bag, he was quite ready to put the right one in the bag for me but I for some reason rolled over and accepted the white chocolate and nuts cookie whilst my friend had the one I really wanted - I really really really hate subway, i've got to man up when I go in there, I went in wanting a strange and complex sub with maybe a cookie for pudding, and I came out with a cookie that not even a man crippled with chocolate fueled anxiety would pick

Dinner 6.45PM

• dinner was lovely, for ages my dad has been trying to perfect his pork satay sticks, and I really think these were lovely, instead of cooking the pork on their sticks with the coating already on them, he put it in a separate little bowl, it was smooth peanut butter and some other stuff like soy sauce, sweet chili sauce and lemon juice which was all very nice and I enjoyed spreading it on
• on the plate he pit a slice of lemon, I also used this on the sticks
• there were also some pieces of lettuce on my plate, I ate these first so hot and cold didn't touch though
• there was also some garlic naan bread, on nearly every piece I put on as much of the sauce as I could evenly spread
• after this I had a very nice banana

Snacks 7.40PM+

• I started with the stuff we got at a polish shop earlier in the day, more of those polish wafers, tesco only offers the vanilla ones which is a bit annoying, the polish place has an amazing range though, and i'll be going back there very soon I think - I bought plain/dark chocolate wafers (when I say a flavour it means the pastey/creamy stuff inside them was a certain flavour, the wafers are all one flavour) which were amazing, the chocolate tastes like an improved american chocolate, plain and not incredibly sweet when you first bite into it, cocoa flavoured (the actual flavour of the wafer) then leaving you with an irresistible sweet flavour, of course we finished the whole packet in one night
• this next one is very odd, we also got some mysterious purple packaged wafers, being too embarrassed to ask what the packaging meant, I just hoped it wasn't meat paste inside them - I now exactly what the paste was but i'll describe it by what I felt on monday - its kind of dulled in colour, kind of like mushed up tuna, and it has an incredibly weird taste, like its a punishment in the wafer world, like I have to learn to love it - i'm thinking this because when you first bite into it, it tasted like some kind of seed or something you'd use to scent a room, then you feel like you've bitten into some kind of fragrant spice or even some lovely sweet peas, and after that the whole thing tastes very sweet - i'm still not really sure if I like them at all, I kept having them to try and identify the taste but I just felt like I was eating flowers

---

after some googling i've found that the wafers are actually halva flavour, which I think (again guessing from google) is a sweet usually made from sesame seeds with sugar/honey, I suppose this explains the unusual and kind of pea like sweetness but it still doesn't make me like them

sunday's post

on sunday I got up at about 3.05PM and had quite a nice relaxed day

Breakfast

• nah, I didn't have anything

Lunch

• I didn't have any kind of meal, but I did have a few of the vanilla polish wafers which were absolutely lovely

Dinner 6.30PM

• for dinner we had roast pork, and it was wonderful, really interesting pork, much heavier than usual with incredibly flavourful fat, kind of full meaty distinctive flavour - with this I had a fair bit of crab apple jelly, but not as much as the last time I had roast pork
• with that I had some crackling which is always nice
• there was also some roast potatoes
• some yorkshire puddings
• and some peas which I really can't get enough of with a good bit of gravy
• with some carrots
• and cabbage
• on all of this I put quite a bit of gravy, maybe even a bit too much but it was very nice gravy
• after that I had a very good banana

Snacks 5.30PM+

• tonight we finished off my dad's valentines day chocolate from thortones which were all very nice, but especially the ones with that chocolate creamy praline stuff inside them
• at the moment we have loads of snacks so it feels like christmas, I keep trying to get through loads each night but I don't like feeling full so I usually stop at that point

sorry at the missing day

i'll catch up tomorrow, just need to sit down and do it

saturday's post

on saturday I got up at about 10.35AM and went to town

Breakfast

• nope, I didn't have anything

Lunch 2.00PM (approx, not near a clock)

• today I tried something different from eat today, a mexican chicken wrap, and I really don't think i'd have it again - the chicken wasn't terrible, it was alright, better than subways, the sweetcorn in it was nice, I even liked the beans in it and I don't usually like anything like lentils but then I got to a giant lump of sauceless salad, it was that bitter strong tasting lettuce that i'm just not into, then I tasted something that was incredibly cheesey which sadly really put me off
• a while after that we went and got some sarsaparilla, mine wasn't very fizzy but it was still wonderful
• after that we went to tesco and got a vanilla slice each, and it really was wonderful - its like they take the soft wonderful sticky pastry base from a danish and make it into some kind of well, having some kind of vanilla cream on the inside of the pastry, then some kind of incredibly sweet vanilla custard in the middle of the well which was perfect, and I don't even like custard (i'm really enjoying baked stuff from tescos)

Dinner 6.40PM

• dinner was wonderful, my dad did some rare cooked steak, cut up into pieces showing the lovely colour in the middle, on top of some red peppers and onions which were perfect, I didn't add any salt or pepper and it was still lovely
• with that on my plate there were a few lettuce leaves, I ate these first so I could eat the rest without hot and cold clashing
• there were also some salt and pepper kettle chips which were very nice
• and I also had two pieces of bread from the deli, one of them I had without any salt and pepper, and on my other one I put a little salt and pepper on it
• I had one of those little glasses of warre's warrior port as well, I quite like this, as i've said before, its like a warm left out wine that somehow got better
• I then had a very nice banana

Snacks 8.35PM+

• first I had a small tube of jelly bean factory jelly beans which were wonderful, maybe not as easy to tell what the flavours were as they are with jelly belly jelly beans, but these taste a load better generally
• after that I had a bowl of wonderful bombay mix and a little bit of another mix, it all tasted wonderful and had a more varied taste than normal mixes and also had a lot of lentil sugar
• I then had a few of those polish crunchy chewy things, they're called Jutrzenka Jezyki, but i'll post more about them later
• I then had 4 glasses, two cans worth of banks mild, it was lovely and I still think banks is the nicest cheaper drinkable beer
• I then had one of my dad's valentine chocolates from thorntones (I didn't get him them, don't worry, my mum did) which was very nice but thorntones generally is

friday's post

on friday I got up at about 8.15AM and later I went to an event with something to do with youth elections with a friend

Breakfast 8.20AM

• I couldn't tell you exactly what the cereal is called, but its a special K one with some freeze dried blackcurrants, blackberries and I think blueberries in it but I never seem to get a full bowl with all these different fruits in it - it was very nice, much sweeter and it tasted a load better than just special K flakes that can be a bit of a trial to eat

Lunch 1.10PM (second bit was approx 5.40PM)

• I started with some asda smart price orange juice, and it was wonderful, its hard to describe the taste, its like they take all the appealing factors from tropical fruit juice but keep a strong orange juice flavour without it being acidy, i'm looking forward to having this more often
• I then had some carrot sticks which were nice but a bit thickly cut
• after that I tried to have my rice, which looked lovely but I didn't have a spoon
• after that I had two little brownies which were heaven, I tried to save them but I couldn't and I ended up eating them really quickly
• when I got home, I had some wonderful strawberry chocolate buttons from ireland that my mum got as a present, they taste wonderful albeit overly sweet, they are a nice pink colour too

• after this, at the youth parliment thing I had some little cakes they were offering, I had a mini cream eclair which was nice, but they aren't really my thing
• I also had a little, and I mean very little, triangle of strange chocolate cake, very sticky and not as sweet as it looked - it was still nice though, like a thin layer of actual cake, then loads of chocolate related cream and stuff, and a chocolate curl which was nice, I then walked around town with chocolate on my lips for about an hour (I told you it was sticky)
• I bought some more of those polish snacks on the way home, I got these about half palm sized biscuits which taste absolutely amazing (I will post more on these later) they were chocolate coated, inside you got a layer of crispy biscuit, chewy biscuit, then a combination of nuts, crispy little bits and raisins all in one biscuit and none of the raisins were bad and gritty either, these really are special

Dinner 7.35PM

• for dinner we had meatloaf, there was gravy, it was a lot thinner than usual but still alright - I put a little salt on the meatloaf and without thinking, a bit of pepper too
• with that there was some mashed potatoes, my mum kept saying she made them lumpy but I thought they were very nice, I put a fair bit of salt on these but not a great deal of pepper
• also we had some cabbage which was nice with a fair bit of salt and pepper on it
• after that I had a very fresh tasting banana

Snacks 8.40PM+

• I finished off the bag of those strawberry buttons, some of them tasted a bit rich and sharp but the aftertaste did really taste like strawberries which was wonderful
