My Vegetarian Diet Day ?4 20/07/12

      Hi, this one is a day late and i can't remember much of what i was thinking yesterday. However the cupboard was bare and it was raining all day so i didn't go out to shop. You will see how that affects my diet. :-)

  Breakfast

      1 Banana 

      Small bar of dark chocolate, 85% cocoa

  Lunch

      1 wholemeal bread sandwich

   

    

Home made parsnip and blueberry jam :-)

  Dinner

      4 slices of pineapple

        

      1 can of vegetable soup

In a big mug 

      Chips and baked beans

  

Chinese takeaway chips 

+ 

a splash of brown sauce

salt and vinegar to taste

  Supper

      

      Valencia oranges

  Drinks

      Coffee, milky coffee, vodka, tea, water.

          Well i remember a little now, i did make the marvelous jam though the recipe and notes were in the lost notebook, so the recipe page hasn't gone up.

 There we are and Tich is giving me the heavy eyeball now, wanting to be taken out, so i'm off and you will have to make your own minds up about the healthiness of today's grub.

               Eat well and enjoy your food

                      Love from Pa

   Brief excursion into Adventures with preserves, Parsnip and blueberry jam, which will have it's own page when i manage it.

Dinner
                       Egg chips and tomatoes

forgot to take a picture so here ia one of a funny sign i took earlier

   2       Eggs, fried in 
   10g   Sunflower oil
   200g Tinned chopped tomatoes (tomatoes [60%],
   tomato juice, acidity regulator: citric acid
   250g Chips (from the Chinese take away)
   1       Mug of tea 


Supper

   1      Mug of tea
   24g  Chocolate (as before)

   I can't believe i forgot to photograph my interesting dinner of egg, chips and tomatoes. Doh!.
   I also didn't photo my Adventures in yoghurt or Adventures in preserves. Lost the plot a bit, especially during jam making but there you go. Will get my little adventures up on their respective pages as soon as possible.
   On the plus side, i didn't skarfe the bar of chocolate all in one go.
   On the minus, chips from the Chinese, though i didn't eat the whole portion all in one go, look out for their reappearance in future meals.
   By the way, meal titles are more to do with the order things are eaten/drank in, and the gaps between, than any real correlation between food and title.
