Good Friday

Yesterday was not the best day in the way of inspirational eating or the best in good nutrition, but never mind how would I ever feel righteous and smug if on good days, if I did it right all the time.
Breakfast was orange juice followed by porridge that had been made mainly with water so that was a fairly low fat start to the day. Good.
Lunch was very late, I spent too long on this computer, I think computers eat time.
For lunch we had fish sticks salad and bread and butter. Maybe overall the day was not that bad from a nutritional point of view after all.
In the afternoon Steve and I did an emergency dash to rescue a pony that was larking about on the top of an enormous dung heap and endangering himself, it was a bit of a pain as it meant I missed riding my horse. After that we still had to exercise the dogs, and then we went shopping. After that we arrived home quite late. So the bad bit of the day was crashing out in front of the telly and eating two huge pizzas and drinking beer. (Just the one).

Wednesday

Yes we have more bananas! So that was my starting breakfast along with some juice, this time a vegetable and fruit mixture purchased from Lidl. It is really cheap, a bit too sweet for my taste, but I hope it is doing me good with its added vitamins.
Second breakfast was porridge made mainly with water with just a little milk; I do like my porridge with a teaspoon of sugar rather than the Scottish tradition of salt.
Lunch was a tin of chicken soup with soya and linseed bread. Followed by another hot cross bun.
The son and heir comes to dinner most Wednesday evenings, so after a little interrogation as to what he has eaten this week [very healthy and home cooked, well done son] I decided on not so healthy naughty food.
Chips, sausages, peas and sweetcorn, and later an orange.
Not very imaginative. In my quest for inspiration I started to think about some of the meals that I have eaten in restaurants, and while looking for recipes on line, found an American book with recipes from top US restaurants, it is called The Copycat Cookbook. I have never been to the US but this way I could try the food. I have put a link to it for anyone who might like to see it. Just click on link to the left of page.
