What I ate today

~KitchenManager Wed, Mar 11, 1998 (22:19) #301

Welcome, Joel...

~autumn Fri, Mar 13, 1998 (16:56) #302

Joel, peanut butter and jelly rules! woo woo woo

~stacey Fri, Mar 13, 1998 (16:58) #303

hi joel! been out sick for a couple of days... sinus infection returned and brought with it strep throat and an upperrespirtory infection. Never taken so many pills in my life! Feeling ten thousand percent better but was only able to work a 1/2 day today. food: leftover chipotle rice, leftover spinach mushroom enchiladas, echineaca drink, several Thin Mint GS cookies

~pmnh Sun, Mar 15, 1998 (04:04) #304

one of my kids has strep now, too... missed last 3 days of school... miraculously, none of the others seem to have gotten it... (jalapenos and chili for breakfast... peanut butter crunch for supper... that kinda day)...

~autumn Sun, Mar 15, 1998 (15:24) #305

Hope y'all get better soon! Stacey, have you seen that Edy's (Dreyer's on the West Coast) has GS thin mint ice cream now? Can't wait to try it. Oatmeal, tomato-red bell pepper soup w/croutons. Dinner: who knows?

~stacey Mon, Mar 16, 1998 (11:23) #306

Ooh! The 'i scream' sounds yummy!!! I'll have to look for that. Usually I'm not too big on the frozen treat but this sounds worthwhile! Breakfast at Pour 'la France with a co-worker: pesto omlette with artichoke hearts, sundried tomatoes, mozzerella and of course pesto. Hash browns (with tabasco) and plenty of decaf coffee! I'm feeling better and my appetite is working its way back to superhuman capabilities so I just had a mini bag of Cheetos! I don't buy chips and puffs and stuff but these were given to me so... I felt obliged! *smile* Teacher workday, no students so I'm sure to be eating out for lunch too!

~KitchenManager Wed, Mar 18, 1998 (00:04) #307

So, whatcha been havin'?

~stacey Wed, Mar 18, 1998 (17:15) #308

today... toast & jelly banana pear fruit cocktail cheese sandwich carrots GS cookies corn

~autumn Thu, Mar 19, 1998 (12:03) #309

Gasp! No asiago bagel??? hot oatmeal & grape nuts, double decaf cappucino, banana soon to follow. Bought some GS thin mint ice cream and Nestle cookie jar ice cream yesterday--yummy!

~stacey Thu, Mar 19, 1998 (17:19) #310

asagio bagel this morning! and banana, orange, tater tots, ice cream sundae (cast party for my class -- we had a performance this a.m. --- they did a GREAT job!)

~stacey Thu, Mar 19, 1998 (22:12) #311

had a little leftover quiche (Southwestern: green chiles, corn, chopped tomatos and jalapaenos, cheese and of course eggs) when I got home. And THEN dinner.

~KitchenManager Thu, Mar 19, 1998 (23:57) #312

Your starting to sound almost up to par, Stacey!

~stacey Fri, Mar 20, 1998 (09:41) #313

*smile* ait to you hear breakfast... munching on a brownie and glazed donut as I type a little detox tea to wash it down! and today is pizza day at school so i'll eat with the kids!

~KitchenManager Fri, Mar 20, 1998 (09:44) #314

Shall we play tag this morn?

~stacey Fri, Mar 20, 1998 (10:14) #315

you're it!

~KitchenManager Fri, Mar 20, 1998 (23:08) #316

aw, shucks, I wasn't ready...

~stacey Mon, Mar 23, 1998 (09:51) #317

he who hesitates...

~KitchenManager Mon, Mar 23, 1998 (14:55) #318

(i know, trust me, i know!)

~stacey Mon, Mar 23, 1998 (15:59) #319

*blowing kisses* (cause i feel like it!) ate today: bagel ritual banana buttermilk roll orange pear iceberg lettuce and tomatos (w/ gross dressing -- schoolmade!_ several Tagalongs

~KitchenManager Mon, Mar 23, 1998 (16:27) #320

catching them cause I can... 'bout to have a double strawberry double malt...

~stacey Mon, Mar 23, 1998 (17:22) #321

yum!

~KitchenManager Mon, Mar 23, 1998 (17:25) #322

it was, it was

~stacey Mon, Mar 23, 1998 (17:28) #323

yum! (ever read Still LIfe with Woodpecker -- Tom Robbins ?)

~KitchenManager Mon, Mar 23, 1998 (17:30) #324

Nope...just Jitterbug Perfume if he wrote that...

~stacey Mon, Mar 23, 1998 (17:35) #325

he wrote that too. (then you will not get the 'yum' reference as it was intended until you read the book!)

~autumn Mon, Mar 23, 1998 (18:27) #326

Oatmeal w/grape nuts, pear, espresso chocolates left over from xmas, tossed salad, baked beans and portobello & salmon burgers (have you ever bought these? They are fantastic!)

~stacey Tue, Mar 24, 1998 (09:15) #327

who makes them? (i thought you were making them from scratch!) Today: bagal rigamoral and DeTox tea

~KitchenManager Tue, Mar 24, 1998 (23:35) #328

same ol' caffeine routine plus dark chocolate malt from Amy's and a bag of popcorn

~stacey Wed, Mar 25, 1998 (10:18) #329

Panang and Tom Yum last night. leftovers this morning!

~autumn Wed, Mar 25, 1998 (22:48) #330

What kind of dishes are those and what's in them? Molly's Foods manufactures those particular frozen salmon patties; Aquaculture and somebody else have a similar product too. They taste great and grill in less than 10 minutes...plus my kids will eat them! (but not "regular" salmon)

~stacey Thu, Mar 26, 1998 (15:55) #331

Panang is a Thai dish made with curry and coconut milk. I usually have tofu and vegetables with mine and eat it over Jasmine rice. Tom Yum is a Thai soup. Clear, spicy broth with lemon grass, basil, peppers, mushrooms and shrimp. Sometime I eat this over Jasmine rice too!

~autumn Mon, Mar 30, 1998 (20:05) #332

The soup sounds good! Today I had oatmeal, banana, iced tea (it must be summer--82 deg. here today!), tossed salad, and wheat meat and mushrooms with gravy over brown rice. Stacey, do you ever go to topsecretrecipes.com? They have recipes for stuff like McD's special sauce and Outback's blooming onion. This week's secret recipe is--you guessed it!--Thin Mints!! Can you imagine going to the trouble to make them???

~stacey Mon, Apr 6, 1998 (11:55) #333

I'd rather continue paying the gazillion dollars a box just so I can have them separated into two packages. (Makes em last longer!)

~autumn Tue, Apr 7, 1998 (20:59) #334

Oh yeah, there's a definite psychological difference between the tray-style packaging vs. the stacked-column style. Like saltines!

~stacey Thu, Apr 9, 1998 (16:58) #335

Ate today: banana B complex vitamin dry Golden Grahams pear bean and cheese burrito slice of pizza

~KitchenManager Fri, Apr 10, 1998 (00:25) #336

leftovers and a pbj sandwich with Pringles

~autumn Fri, Apr 10, 1998 (12:57) #337

Cappucino and pizza crust. Looking ahead to lunch, probably a nectarine. Maybe pancakes for dinner? It's that kind of day.

~stacey Mon, Apr 13, 1998 (08:45) #338

dry Golden Grahams 1/2 banana coffee

~autumn Mon, Apr 13, 1998 (20:19) #339

Butterfinger, jelly beans, marshmallow egg, Reese's pb cup, mini Hershey's candy bars...you get the idea....

~KitchenManager Mon, Apr 13, 1998 (23:40) #340

(yeah, just usually the wrong one...)

~stacey Tue, Apr 14, 1998 (14:06) #341

*laugh*

~Wolf Sat, May 2, 1998 (22:23) #342

ok, here's what i ate today: bowl of cereal salad hamburger 8 hugs

~Wolf Sat, May 2, 1998 (22:24) #343

oh, and that was just breakfast! *giggle*

~stacey Mon, May 4, 1998 (08:57) #344

sushi for breakfast here! scallop rolls, salmon and tuna sashimi w/ the obligatory wasabi and soy (skipped the coffee if you can believe it!)

~autumn Mon, May 4, 1998 (14:15) #345

I am a human garbage disposal today. All I've eaten are my kids' rejects: one bowl of oatmeal, 1 apple, 1/4 pb & j sandwich, 1/2 grilled cheese, 1/4 c. of yogurt, small amount of raw broccoli (they just like the salad dressing--gross!)

~Wolf Mon, May 4, 1998 (19:53) #346

1 slice pepperoni pizza, 3 homemade eggrolls, handful of chocolate pieces.

~stacey Tue, May 5, 1998 (08:50) #347

Autumn... way to go with the recycling effort! *smile*

~Wolf Tue, May 5, 1998 (20:40) #348

two snickers bars *gasp*, bowl of cereal, and two eggrolls......(kinda stressing day)

~autumn Wed, May 6, 1998 (21:45) #349

(Poor Wolf! Hope your fortune was good!) S. is out of town this week, so no cooking!! YEAH! We're living on sandwiches, fruit, and yogurt. Life is good.

~KitchenManager Thu, May 7, 1998 (12:41) #350

no coffee yet... planning on eating at Pagi(sp?) House tonight, though...

~Wolf Thu, May 7, 1998 (17:56) #351

four yogurts, half cantalope, and a plate of salad with greek viniagrette....

~autumn Fri, May 8, 1998 (17:55) #352

Sounds healthy, Wolf!

~Wolf Fri, May 8, 1998 (22:26) #353

yeah, lost 3 pounds in two days! (had a weigh-in, haha) but today....today i ate food. hamburger, tater salad, baked beans, two deviled eggs (yummy). then for dinner, garden salad and brisbane saute (very rich, buttery saucy type fettucine with mushrooms and shrimps), only ate half of it though! anyway, since i don't know what kinda food i'm gonna get while i'm out on business, thought i'd better eat some good stuff!

~stacey Mon, May 11, 1998 (13:02) #354

been out o' commission with a hellish virus since Wednesday night. Now that I'm keeping things down it's a melody of: yogurt with ginger and bananas echinecea tea lemon juice w/ cayenne pepper and ice salmon smoked oysters toasted potato bread Orange juice rice and lotsa vitamins! (still at home today. absoulutely no voice to speak of (lucky for some people! But at least I can still type!)

~KitchenManager Mon, May 11, 1998 (22:14) #355

Hope you gets it kicked soon!

~stacey Fri, Jun 5, 1998 (09:23) #356

the metabolism is picking up again. I awoke at 3am with horrendous hunger pangs. Seasame crackers and sharp cheddar allowed me to sleep for another couple of hours.

~riette Fri, Jun 5, 1998 (12:46) #357

THAT keeps you happy?? You must be so cheap to feed, girl! I have to buy extra food for my nightly hunger escapades, otherwise my kids would go hungry the next day.

~stacey Fri, Jun 5, 1998 (15:14) #358

I could live off of cheese and crackers. In the fridge now I have sharp cheddar, blue, mozzerella, monterey jack, asagio, parmesean and romano cheeses... always plenty of crackers in the house. It's the only way to insure I even eat when Brandon is out of town... no fun actually cooking for one.

~riette Fri, Jun 5, 1998 (15:38) #359

Holy cow! You DO like cheese, don't you? Come and visit me sometime. Have you ever tried three your old Gouda cheese? Crumbles like a cookie, but tastes like heaven. You're right, it is no fun cooking for one . . . then again, who needs their food cooked to be able to enjoy it. I eat like a mule - come rain or shine! Luckily I don't have too much of a sweet tooth, but I devour literally TONS of fruit every day - anything I can lay my hands on. In fact I'm eating now - passion fruits. A bag full. Wonder if one can get fruit poisoning from eating so much, because I need half a day to get over stomach pains from the previous day, and half to stuff myself again. Not out of hunger or anything, but because I love the taste. And, $hit (so to speak), does it clean you out or what?!

~stacey Fri, Jun 5, 1998 (16:07) #360

as a young child, I used to make myself sick on kumquats, plums and peaches. I'd eat them one right after the other until they were gone. And then spend the next few hours running back and forth to the bathroom!

~autumn Fri, Jun 5, 1998 (21:42) #361

Ditto with cherries...they're still my biggest fruit weakness! Thank God they're only in season for a few weeks.

~riette Sat, Jun 6, 1998 (01:06) #362

Cherries!! I love cherries! They make you run too - especially if you don't bother to spit out the stones. The girls and I eat them by the hundreds, then fight over the last one. I always thought I'd win, as I am the biggest, but Isa, the eldest has these quick little hands. While I'm still groping around with my clumsy paws those little hands just shoot forward, and I don't have a chance. And the little one just sits there staring at us with a blank look on her little face (she looks just like Piglet in the Winnie Pooh stories - really sweet). I'm so glad they're turning out disgusting too - I'd be so lonely if they were a pair of little ladies. But Mr. C. for some reason is starting to develop this nervous twitch every now and again . . . Do you have kids, Autumn?

~autumn Sun, Jun 7, 1998 (21:13) #363

Yes, I too have sweet little daughters; Juliette is 6 and Lydia is 4. All we all love cherries, although they do eat them more daintily than I.

~riette Tue, Jun 9, 1998 (06:40) #364

Nice names run in your family, don't they?

~jgross5 Tue, Jun 9, 1998 (06:48) #365

nice feet run in Autumn's family, too

~stacey Tue, Jun 9, 1998 (09:07) #366

WER, do hairy derrieres run in your family?!?!

~KitchenManager Tue, Jun 9, 1998 (09:17) #367

never looked...

~riette Tue, Jun 9, 1998 (10:46) #368

why not?

~jgross5 Tue, Jun 9, 1998 (11:53) #369

because he had heard of the narrow brown rivulet trails along the floor and defensively refused to make any connections [all in jest, wer] *sniggle* *sniggle* [sorry]

~riette Tue, Jun 9, 1998 (13:21) #370

ha-ha! wonder if hairy backsides run in the Leplep family . . . might take a peep sometime . . .

~KitchenManager Tue, Jun 9, 1998 (14:43) #371

today, I have eaten the same thing as the last two, nothing

~jgross5 Tue, Jun 9, 1998 (14:48) #372

Barb, Jen and Meg are pretty hairy on their backsides. Me and Dad are hairless back there. Mom is lifeless (1980...cancer) We all have pretty good hair on our frontsides. Last monitoring, though, was about 34 years ago. Is that current enough, or should I perform an update?

~jgross5 Tue, Jun 9, 1998 (15:13) #373

wer, how come you don't say what's goin' on? are you fasting? on a liquid diet? sick in bed? (nothing would've stayed down, so you're not bothering to try?) sick not in bed? (you working?) food poisoning? feelin' extremely weak? I do hope things're goin' better for ya with all that, real REAL soon!!!

~KitchenManager Tue, Jun 9, 1998 (15:47) #374

just not eating, that's all... (and am working,13 or so hour shifts each day)

~riette Tue, Jun 9, 1998 (16:04) #375

You poor thing. Why you working so hard - or are people coming a'rushin' from all over the world to taste your food? I'd sure like to. Wish I could've sent you a whole barrel full of chocolate truffles against hunger pangs. Though, that would not exactly help with the workload - might make it seem pleasanter though . . . Jim, so you're hairless back there? If 1983 was the last time, then how do you know for sure? I mean, do you sort of bend over and . . . and LOOK? And the hair at the front; that's your chest, right? Or is it the face? If so, then you'd better comb your face before we go for that spice girl audition, okay? Would not want anyone to think you're my pet or anything. I'm sorry to hear about Mum.

~KitchenManager Tue, Jun 9, 1998 (16:29) #376

normal schedule for Sun, Mon, Tues...

~riette Tue, Jun 9, 1998 (16:43) #377

Ugh. Hope you take the rest of the week off; working like that is an awfully, disgustingly honest and wholesome thing to do. Doesn't suit you at all!

~riette Tue, Jun 9, 1998 (16:44) #378

$hit, that might have come out exactly as I didn't mean it. Know what I mean? Of course it suits you, it just . . . DOESN'T. Maybe I should just go to bed now.

~stacey Tue, Jun 9, 1998 (17:19) #379

last day of school!!!! pizza cherry coke carrots (had to do it!) popsicles potato chips pizza chocolate (now I need an alka seltzer

~riette Wed, Jun 10, 1998 (01:20) #380

No, don't bother - those things take hours to work. Just eat until you throw up . . . won't be long now! You sound gladder than a kid to be out of school! Hope you have a great holiday.(?)

~stacey Wed, Jun 10, 1998 (14:02) #381

teacher workday... just cleaning up the room! and eating chocolate... and more chocolate and a veggie sandwich and pop and more chocolate!

~riette Wed, Jun 10, 1998 (15:28) #382

Gee, and still not throwing up? Wish I had that kind of capacity. Or no! I'd be rolling! But with all your marathon running and things you probably need that amount of food - that's why you don't get sick. I just hope you're not going for a run tonight . . . you'll drop dead after the first two kilometres when the sugar level suddenly drops.

~autumn Wed, Jun 10, 1998 (19:04) #383

Mmmmm, made a yummy Spanish rice dish with wheat meat and cilantro--even the girls ate it! The butter bread was prettty good, too. Hope you've gotten a chance to eat today, wer.

~riette Thu, Jun 11, 1998 (00:57) #384

EVEN the girls ate it? You mean they sometimes pull their little noses up? How very strange . . . mine do too!! Sometimes I think all kids must somehow be related to one another.

~terry Thu, Jun 11, 1998 (18:26) #385

A small bag of chips and a MacDonalds breakfast. Home and time for a swim. Just got my isdn hooked up at the new house. Dinner later.

~riette Thu, Jun 11, 1998 (18:42) #386

ISDN What's that? Don't think I'll ever get used to all these terms. D.M.N.

~KitchenManager Thu, Jun 11, 1998 (19:19) #387

it's a big phone line so you can do the computer thing faster (glad you're back, Terry)

~riette Thu, Jun 11, 1998 (19:39) #388

Oh, I see! Is there a kind of phone line thing that helps one type faster with one hand?

~jgross5 Thu, Jun 11, 1998 (19:45) #389

I could lend you MY left hand. It's pretty much like the one in the Addams Family. Would that give you 2 left hands? (story of my life) Should I lend you my right?

~riette Thu, Jun 11, 1998 (19:55) #390

No, no, I'll take the left. Won't exchange my right hand for the world. Here, you take my left - heavy, isn't it. What a drag! If it can come off it can give me a nice back massage - that's just what I need right now.

~autumn Fri, Jun 12, 1998 (12:27) #391

A cup of coffee and a pear.

~jgross5 Fri, Jun 12, 1998 (20:43) #392

some spray paint and a chewy delicious television set

~riette Sat, Jun 13, 1998 (01:18) #393

Any dessert to go with it? Carbolic acid perhaps?

~autumn Mon, Jun 15, 1998 (12:58) #394

Lemme guess--dim sum? Coffee, banana and peanut butter & jelly.

~riette Mon, Jun 15, 1998 (15:32) #395

ha-ha! Today was a very rainy day - so I baked about 40 pancakes (I got the measurements confused). Chris ate three, Isa ate three, Elza ate two. I've had about ten, but at least now breakfeast, lunch, dinner and inbetweens are taken care of for tomorrow. You like peanut butter, Autumn? I like it too - especially without the bread.

~stacey Tue, Jun 16, 1998 (12:33) #396

asagio bagel w/ salmon schmear coffee coffee coffee pea pods (raw) OJ banana (packing for yet another move... would that I could eat cardboard boxes!)

~riette Wed, Jun 17, 1998 (01:38) #397

with a bit of peanut butter, cardboard boxes would probably taste just fine!

~stacey Wed, Jun 17, 1998 (10:25) #398

ugh! when i was packing the higher up shelves (that i cannot reach w/o a chair) I found an old jar of crunchy peanut butter. I thought, "mmmm" and opened it up and stuck my finger in. Then I looked and saw little dark spots... upon closer inspection... dead ants! GROSS! Today I've eaten... banana OJ vitamin leftover Vietnamese food (Bun (rice noodles) with shrimp paste fried in rice paper)

~riette Wed, Jun 17, 1998 (12:49) #399

WOW! I think we should open a seperate topic for your kind of eating habits - they somehow seem more peculiar than my own, and ALOT more peculiar than most people's. I had about ten peaches, a kilo of cherries (while they're in season!), cheese and crackers, and spaghetti with pesto sauce for dinner. Yes, I know, the appetite has been a little bad lately.

~KitchenManager Wed, Jun 17, 1998 (14:25) #400

currently eating leftover black bean enchiladas, thus giving me the ability to be number 400!!!
