Grilled chicken and potatoes salad and grilled tomatoes.


Gershun,

I have had enough hangovers for you and about 4 or 5 other people. Now, all I ever drink is 1 glass of wine with dinner every now & then...drank like a fish in my 20's. Thank God those days are gone!!

Night Owl! I was too, and always wish I could vacuum, do laundry at the midnight hour. But it disturbs the other residents, and maybe the neighbors too.

Me too, if that, Gershun, Alcohol just doesn't do it for me, I enjoy a glass of some thing appropriate once in a while. I had a bottle of Bristol Cream that lasted 10 years. I take a sip, put the glass down and then forget I have it. I prefer my calories in other forms.

Re dieting, I have lost a few pounds. I have to eat low carb normally or I gain weight. Of course, I splurge sometimes (chocolate cheesecake anyone???). Depriving myself doesn't work.

I decided to eat more vegetables during the lock down and found roasted veggies are my faves. Meals, other than breakfast that work best for me are meat/fish/poultry and low carb veggies. I love a salad too but have to include protein of some kind. As we get older we need more protein, not less.

Now with all this talk of food, I am getting hungry!!!

I don't think I've ever been hung over to be honest. I think I've only gotten drunk maybe three or four times in my life. Never had a hangover that I know about. I've heard about them though. Doesn't sound fun.

I used to always make myself toast when I got home from a night of imbibing. :)

Gershun,, I always wanted tomato soup made with a can of milk when I was hung over! Good old Campbells in the can!

I always remember my older sister coming home drunk and cause I was a night owl I would still be up. We would make a pot of Kraft Dinner and eat it at 1:30am. LOL It was a regular thing we did.

KD in Canada:
Kraft Dinner - Notice that the product in Canada is actually called Kraft Dinner or KD for short and that is indicated on the packaging. That is because most Canadians can recognize a picture of macaroni with the trademark neon orange colouring without being told that it is macaroni and cheese.

I did very good up to now. I went out for seafood, had a delicious haddock toasted sandwich with red potato salad, slice of lemon meringue pie. I hope to do better tomorrow. It was yummy, though.

KD with a side of cottage cheese, and I'm waiting for the asparagus in my little counter-top oven to get done.
Oh yeah, there's a rhubarb pie in there too😉

Earlybird, good on you!

My diet starts tomorrow... no really... Today is a family birthday so cake (of course), treats & a beverage (or 2).

I've set my alarm for an early walk (with the birds) tomorrow & by sheer will, I will somehow wake up a salad person too!!

Chicken made in the slow cooker. Instead of adding a marinade, I poured in a can of beer. Chicken came out very tender and the house smells wonderful! Served with rolls and carrots.
