Saturday diet

what I ate yesterday. Saturday is an unusual day in that I have time to have something other than my normal breakfast of meusli with apple juice and a piece of home made bread with sunflower spread and marmalade. I can tell your mouth must be watering already....

  • fried potato white egg omelette with home made bread toast with olive oil on it, cup of tea with milk (I'm allowed a little dairy and cutting it out of the morning cup of tea is a step too far...)
  • lunch - baked beans on toast another cup of tea, try to remember to drink some water.
  • snack- matzo with tahini on it - tahini has become a staple on this diet and is actually quite nice. Couldn't say the same for the matzos but they are a vehicle for the tahini in much the same way as lettuce is a vehicle for salad dressing
  • Home made Harira for dinner made with lamb and lots of other delicious things - it's a Moroccan recipe and very tasty I made enough for a about a month of hypo non cooking so I guess I'll be sick of that in a few days. It's in the freezer so I don't have to eat it all at once. Modern technology eh? Also had baked apple stuffed with dates and covered with honey which I burnt guttingly watching the All Blacks (not all in black - I think that was the problem) being beaten by France. It made a nice change from my staple of Spag Bol which i seem to eat a lot of and Roast Chicken. I also had a very nice bottle of 'katy' cider which i would much recommend whatever your state.

Blimey - what am I complaining about? The problem with all whole thing isn't so much that it's a bit restrictive but that you have to check the labels on everything and you can't just say - sod it I'll have pizza tonight.

I don't think I'm hypo at all, but then it's only been a week. But I didn't sleep at all well last night - that's what comes of reading crime fiction as you're dropping off - either that or it's indigestion.
