Pods, are noteable for coming in strangely boring boxes and being amazingly mind-bendingly delicious! A little biscuit cup shape filled with Mars deliciousness. There's something about these…

Ingredients 1 6 oz jar Smoked Cod's Roe 6 slices White Bread 1/4 Spanish Onion grated 1-2 cloves Garlic mashed 8 tablespoons Olive Oil Juice of 1 Lemon 6 tablespoons Double Cream 1 level teaspoon Gelatine dissolved in 3 teaspoons water 1 tablespoon finely chopped Parsley Black Olives Hot Toast Method Place cod's roe in a mortar. Trim crusts from bread; soak bread in water; squeeze lightly and add to cod's roe. Pound mixture to a smooth paste. Stir in grated onion and garlic. Then add olive oil, double cream and lemon juice alternately in small amounts, stirring well, until mixture acquires a smooth, uniform consistency. Strain through a fine sieve. (The above can be done in an electric blender, and in that case the mixture does not need to be sieved.) Beat in dissolved gelatine. Pipe mixture into individual souffle dishes or ramekins, sprinkle with chopped parsley and garnish with black olives. Serve with hot toast. I also like to stuff 2 inch lengths of crisp celery with this mixture as a light appertiser.

Chicken Fried steak with instant mashed potatoes and green beans (should these be crunchy???).
Now where's my Pepto-Bismol?

Crunchy-juicy green beans are lightly cooked, which is really all they need. The flavor, you notice, is superb.
Tums (tm) are worldwide, I think. But hey, when I've got a bad stomachache I like soda bicarbonate in warm water too. Some gag on the sodium-ion taste, but for me it's the taste of relief. And the burps are kind of fun too.

My mom recently fell and went to the emergency room. The doctors decided to keep her overnight. I stayed with her, naturally. When I emerged from the hospital the next morning, I found a $60 parking ticket on the car. Where it was acceptable to park at 9 pm, it was ... expensive to park at 9 am. At least mom's ok.

I am about to eat the head of a small smoked pig.
I plan on eating all of it. Ate the body yesterday. Leftovers from a cookout. |

I have a couple of not quite legal places that I park (the area out back by the HR office, for example) and only use the parking garage when I absolutely have to. Even were I to pay for it, it's only $5, free if you're in there for less than an hour, which is never the case for me. One of the mysterious parts to the hospital parking situation is that while the self-park garage is $5, valet parking is $3.50 ... free if you're bringing a patient to the ER, because there is construction going on, so the ER spaces are no longer available as they are all reserved for ambulances, since they lost about half of their parking to the construction. The ER, though, is doing better than the radiation oncology center, which lost all of it's parking and their entire building. They're operating out of a series of trailers, as far as I can tell. This is a "city" hospital I'm going to, but one of the more suburban of the city hospitals, in terms of setting and feel. The real City Hospitals charge $10 an hour for parking, so I count myself lucky here.

=============== I just ate an entire Chipotle (1) burrito. I usually only eat half to 2/3rds, but I was reading and didn't notice how much I'd eaten until it was almost gone. Now my belly hurts. (1) Chipotle is a chain that started here in Denver. I think McDonalds bought them out, but I don't know how far they've spread. Their burritos are the size of a puppy - and not some new-born poodle, these are like eating a two-week old lab puppy, wrapped in a tortilla and still warm and wiggly. |

I just finished the last jar of fennel-polluted bolonese sauce. This time I had it with aduki beans, red onion, leek and sweetcorn (end of week vegetable use-up) and penne pasta.
I forget that bean-heavy pasta dishes are filling. I forced the last third of the bowl - silly of course, but I'd mixed it all in with the pasta by then and it gets flabby. The remainder of the vegetable sauce is in the fridge and will be split into two meals. It was healthy and virtually fat free, but I am bursting at the seams.

I can't believe I just ate...a whole cup of Cheez fries. That's french fries with Cheez Whiz dumped on them. You eat them with a plastic fork.
Feeling so ill right now... |

I just found this site, wherein you enter the ingredients of your Chipotle burrito or taco and it calculates the nutrition data.
Calories: 1060 Calories from fat: 426 Total fat: 48 g Total Carbohydrate: 101 g ... I don't know if those numbers are high or low. I also had a sugary beverage. |

For me they would be very, very high. Like 2-3 days worth.
But I am obese and focused on losing weight. For a man, for an active woman or simply as a treat they could be much worse.
