ZOMG Dinner!!1

I-Finally-Get-To-Cook-A-Dinner Breaded Chicken With Squished Vegetables
5 x bits of those lovely chicken mcfillets that are rapidly becoming my favourite thing ever
1/2 clove of real garlic - none of that "powder" stuff - yuk - pleurgh
1/2 fiendishly strong onion
lots of bits of fresh broccoli
1 x sweet potato
crumbly bread for breadcrumbs
pepper, curry powder, salt, paprika
tall glass of that robinsons barley stuff
the rest of that lovely bean stuff - very sad to see it go

...in which i cooked my first ever sweet potato, managed to make the stir-fry veggies thoroughly squishy instead of crispy, but the day was saved when everything came out tasting happily of curry (though not on purpose).

Lingering Smell Of The Day: steamed brocolli

Anxious Moment Tally: sweet potato too hot to peel or manipulate in any way possible; no stale bread for crumbing; chicken strips took too long to strip, whilst in background veggies squished themselves meaningfully.

Quesadilla Mania Sans Burning Kettle

Stir-fry Chicken Quesadillas With Buffalo Wing Sauce
2 x squeenie fillety chicken things
1 x half pouch of microwavable brown rice (surely the best thing since bread came sliced?)
1 x half a half a can of tasty bean stuff. i think i'll have to use it up or it'll just be to throw away...
1 x tasty combo of oodles of pepper (again - is it possible to eat too much?), cumin, salt, paprika
1 x smidgen buffalo wings sauce
1 x handful of water because the chicken looked like it was drying out and there's nothing worse than dry chicken in a salsa scenario
2 x strange smelling brown tortillas
1 x trusty microwave grill combo
tea to taste

Interesting Yet Fairly Unsupported Fact Gleaned From Talk Radio: blue eyed people may be more attractive because their eyes are clearer when their pupils dilate

Temptation Nearly Resisted To The Last: half a half a twix

Daily Ponder: do buffalos really have wings?

Elevences

Tasty Tasty Platter
1 x tangerine squirreled away in a secret place - hurrah!
3 x crispybreads with icky sticky quarkTM
1 x generous helping of sunflower seeds
1 x it-doesn't-count handful of seeds during preparation
1 x banana for looking-at purposes, but not for eating-of purposes

well, i consulted my bible, and there should be at least 5g of fibre in each meal, but i'm not sure at all about this figure - i'm going to have to look up tangerine fibre content thingies somewhere, or it'll go very badly for me.

Conspiricy Theories Formed During The Morning: small plate shortage due to a) aliens or b) dad.

Happy Song In Head: 1-2-3-4 / Feist [ that girl off the iPod nano video advert, which of course Apple brought out after i became the proud owner of a green 4GB original ]

Another day, another breakfast

Open Baconny Sarnie Thing
2 x yummy turkey rashers (which seem too thick to be enitrely healthy)
2 x egg whites fluffed and seasoned and gushied up
2 x strangely addictive seed bread stuff
3 x half fat mozzy balls in place of the grated cheese that i used up yesterday

totally worth it to see mozzy balls nuked in the microwave: solid to stringy cheesey goodness in thirty radioactive seconds - it's like a dairy T1000!

Favourite Breakfast-Making Implement Of The Day: wooden spatula that marks not my precious wok.

Radio Show Disappointment Of The Morning: Terry Wogan, who seems only to play a sad mixture of Katie Melua and Mary Black. Whatever happened to Abba, Terry?
