tuesday's post

today I got up at about 11.00AM

Breakfast

• I didn't have any breakfast but I did have a perfect ferrero rocher when I went downstairs

Lunch

• I was out on my own today so I didn't want to go wasting money on lunch, this was a mistake because I started to feel really very faint, so on my way back at about 4.55PM, I had a wonderful peanut butter kitkat chunky which sorted me out

Dinner 7.00PM

• for dinner my mum made a proper balti curry using her own spice mix, i've been waiting to try this for about a fortnight now
• it was very different from the curry we usually have that is made using a pataks base (one of the few meals we have pre-made) instead of being kind of sweetly spiked, it had a certain more earthy taste to it, like if you've ever eaten cinnamon powder
• I really enjoyed it because it wasn't invading my mouth so much, it was really quite mild and distinctive (it was a chicken curry by the way)
• with that she did some of her nice spicy rice
• we also had garlic naan bread
• poppadoms
• and I also put a little mango chutney on my curry (trying not to ruin the new flavour) and because there were loads of poppadoms left, I ended up putting loads and loads of mango chutney on them
• I don't know why I didn't have a banana, we've been eating in the dining room instead of the kitchen because its christmas time, and for some reason bananas seem unable to enter the dining room

Snacks 8.05PM+

• first I started with sharing out the last ferrero rochers with my dad, so we had two each
• a bit after that I went and got some biscuits that a relative got us from the market, they aren't bad or anything (and they came in a beautiful tin) but they do taste funny, its like someones made the perfect biscuit then dropped it in a different flavour
• in between biscuit consumption I went and got a treat that I bought around lunch time - pepsi raw, this is an extremely interesting cola. I don't normally agree that any cola should have ice in, but the thing with pepsi raw is, it tastes so clean and refreshing, its so light and easy to drink that I can see it making the perfect summer drink with a nice bit of ice in a nice cool glass, my favourite cola is still fentiman's curiosity cola, but pepsi raw is defiantly an interesting drink, its kind of straight tasting whereas fentimans bombs you with flavours

monday's post

so on monday I got up at about 10.55AM and later on had to avoid spending money in the tempting sweet shop

Breakfast

• nah nothing today, in really quite a rush to get out of the door

Lunch 2.40PM (approx, not near a clock)

• for lunch I had a very nice humus wrap, but our normal eat wasn't open so it was a bit odd eating it in a different place
• a while after lunch, probably bout 5.00PM, I had a wonderfully balanced ginger and lemon drink, i'm going to go and find out what the brand was, the drink was perfect but the bottle was so dull that I can't even remember what it was called

Dinner 6.50PM

• before dinner I had about two after 8 mints
• for dinner we had dirty rice, it was wonderful, I had loads of it with loads of light soy sauce on it
• in the dirty rice we had
• little prawns
• egg (apparently not enough egg bits because we only had one egg)
• peas
• carrots
• those little crunchy onion flakes and maybe something else but I can't always tell with dirty rice
• I also had a very nice piece of chicken, that I guess was braised, it was very juicy and went with the rice well
• there was also nice prawn crackers
• and a vegetable dish that was broccoli with lots of different things like spring onions, mushrooms and water chestnuts
• there was talk about me having a banana but I never did end up with one

Snacks 8.15PM+

• first we finished off the after 8s which were wonderful
• then we moved on to bombay mix, it wasn't Cofresh but it was still very nice, I must have had a bout 3 bowls of that

sunday's post

I got up at about 10.20AM on sunday

Breakfast

• I didn't really have any breakfast but I did have some of the left over mini mars bars from the celebrations box

Lunch

• I didn't have a meal for lunch but I finished the celebrations and the roses
• I also had some more of those dark chocolate ferrero rochers

Dinner 6.50PM

• dinner was a very nice roast lamb
• with the lamb we had yorkshire puddings
• roast potatoes
• some brussel sprouts (I don't want to admit it but these are warming to me)
• some very nice peas
• and carrots
• my mum couldn't finish all of hers so she very kindly gave me some extra potatoes and a yorkshire pudding
• on the lamb I put a load of mint sauce, and on the vegetables - after the meal I had about 4 table spoons of mint sauce straight from the boat and my arm started to shake, I don't know what that was about
• all over the meal I put a load of gravy, but not too much
• I also put quite a lot of salt, but barely any pepper (I think I generally use pepper less now anyway)

Snacks 8.40PM+

• first we started with some very odd chocolates that a relative got for us off the market, they were in a ferrero rocher box and the sales woman assured my grandmother that they were thortons chocolates - they weren't, they were just a strange mix of little chocolates all tasting of slightly different milky ways, not bad, just really weird
• we then moved onto balti mix, this was the proper Cofresh kind, I haven't had that brand in ages and after about 3 big bowls, I started to remember how hot they really were (and I think I loved it)
• shortly after this me and my dad cracked into some lovely after 8 mints

I went to sleep early last night

i'll do the other posts tonight, after dinner

saturday's post

on saturday I got up at about 1.05PM after going to bed far too late for no real reason

Breakfast 1.15PM

• I didn't have a real breakfast, instead I found the box with all the cold stuff in and had a good few stuffing balls, bacon rolls and sausages

Lunch 1.30PM

• little did I know, we were about to have lunch but I had pretty much the same thing that I did for my breakfast
• I had quite a few cold sausages, but sadly I had finished up all the stuffing
• I finished off the last few mini picnic eggs
• we also had what i'm pretty sure was the last of the orange juice
• and some crisps, they were kettle chips but if you ask me they tasted exactly like walkers' cheese and onion
• also had a very nice gherkin

Dinner 6.45PM

• dinner was very nice, something i've been waiting for, duck - the duck was wonderful, it was still on the carcass but my dad had put slits so he could carve off pieces, and of course at the end of the meal you could pick at the bird, the meat its self was really nice, not too metally tasting and it was really soft but with crunchy skin
• with that there was a little sauce/gravy boat thing with some very nice orange sauce in, it wasn't over poweringly orangy and the nice bits of cloves in it were clear so I didn't end up eating them like last time
• there was also a salad plate with some lettuce, tomato and cucumber on it
• there was also a bowl of crisps, they were the cheesey onion ones from lunch which were very nice
• we also finished off that lovely lemon sorbet

Snacks 8.15PM+

• we started to finish off the celebrations
• and I also had a go at some of the roses
• after that I opened up my box of Ferrero Rondnoir (they're the dark chocolate ferrero rochers) they are absolutely wonderful, i'm pretty sure the wafer is better in these dark chocolate ones than the normal ones, also instead of a nut in the middle theres a wonderful little chocolate ball - i'm not sure if this is positive or not, its just there, I suppose a nut balances things out
• then I had about 4 glasses of banks, which is 2 cans

i'm so behind

going to try and do two posts now before dinner in an effort to catch up

friday's post, boxing day

so I got up at about 10.10AM on friday after a really good sleep

Breakfast 10.15AM

• I went down straight to breakfast, we had a cooked breakfast again
• it was baked beans on some really nice bacony fried bread from the deli
• some sausages, tasted even more like bacon today (I think my dad has invested in bacon spray or something)
• some of that funny big round bacon
• one normal piece of black pudding and one cooked piece, if i'm honest, I don't think i'd like it cooked again, it just brings out the bad bits in the black pudding
• we also had some nice orange juice to drink

Lunch 2.15PM

• before lunch I was working my way through that box of celebrations, having quite a few of those truffle ones
• for lunch I had loads of cold sasuages, big and small, with some wrapped in bacon
• I also had some of the cold bacon rolls
• loads of cold stuffing balls
• some mini picnic eggs
• some salt and pepper crisps
• I also had a very nice gherkin
• we also had some orange juice to drink

Dinner 6.45PM

• before dinner I had a go at those celebrations again
• for dinner we had some steak which has a really special more balanced flavour from normal, I got my dad a jamie oliver flavour shaker for christmas and it really does help evenly spread the flavour about the meat, the garlic was much more balanced and let the meat shine through
• we also had a plate with some lettuce
• tomatoes
• and cucumber on it
• we also had some salt and pepper crisps
• for pudding we had some of that lovely lemon sorbet again

Snacks 8.50PM+

• apart from picking at the celebrations some more I had the last coke from a glass bottle, I kept it going for ages but its a shame that theres no more
• we also had some of the cashews that a very kind relative gave us over christmas and I was really very full at this point
