Annabel, what do you eat? I'd love to see what your choices are on a daily basis and it might provide us all with some interesting ideas. Thanks!

Well, today I had a banana for breakfast, lunch was *not* what it should have been so let's not go there.... and dinner will be baked trout, with packet wine sauce and/or home-made roasted pepper sauce, boiled new potatoes, steamed carrots and cauliflower, followed by home-made blackberry/raspberry parfait (we have guests!). Probably olives for nibbles to start with, I expect, if our guests like olives.

Probably olives for > nibbles to start with, I expect, if our guests like olives. If I ate a lone banana for lunch, I assure you lunch would be out of control. Bananas are extremely high on the glycemic index causing a rapid rise followed by a rapid fall in glucose. Hunger is inevetible for me. If I choose to enjoy a banana, I have to combine it with a protien and/or fat source. I generally choose fruits that don't rock the blood glucose as much, though, such as an apple or canteloupe. If all I have time for at breakfast is a banana then I would do much better to skip it all together. My food for today has been half of a low carb bun topped with a two percent cheese slice and an egg. It is after three and I am not hungry as yet. I have also walked four miles. Tonight, I will make tomato soup which will likely keep me for a couple of hours until I can cook something really good. Likely, it will be salad and lean chicken or steak and then a half a serving of low carb mac and cheese. I frequently have a glass or two of wine with my evening meal. You dinner, pardon me for saying so, seems very high in calories. I have no experience with a prepackaged wine sauce. I prefer to make my own as I always have some left over wine I am unwilling to drink and it involves making a roux, etc. I can see having steamed veggies or boiled potatoes but not both at the same time. Also, I know olives are a special treat but aren't they very high in calories? What do you make the parfait with? Will wine be served? That's another couple of hundred calories. Is this typical of dinner or just a special occasion? I understand what Elly is saying about the nectarines! I have bought some that were so sweet they were like candy and others are almost bitter. Better to add a little sweetener than to throw out the whole lot. Just my two cents worth. j You wrote at 16:03:15 on Thu, 12 Aug 2004: >If all I have time for at breakfast is a banana then I would do much better >to skip it all together. I find that whether I eat just a banana, or whether I eat a larger breakfast, I am every bit as hungry after skating. So I'd rather eat fewer calories. Lunch only went out of control because I was buying it; it would have been fine had I had it at home. >You dinner, pardon me for saying so, seems very high in calories.

I've never met a nectarine other than deliciously sweet, unless it was under-ripe.

I did read your post and understood that you had dinner guests. The question arose because I love to cook and I generally don't do anything different when I have company than when I am just cooking for myself. In fact, often, when I am having company, I serve something I prepared earlier in order to reduce the time I have to spend away from my guests in the kitchen. My mom, on the other hand, goes all out for guests. She serves way too much food and when it is just her and my Dad, she prepares much more modest meals. > >I understand what Elly is saying about the nectarines!

Must be the different climates. I am at the mercy of my local fruit market and sometimes the produce is excellent and other times.......... j |
