At Last! A New Meal Tackled.

Mooklicious Chicken Curry
1 x bunch of chicken left from the beginning of the week (thoroughly examined for offness)
1 x 2/3 small pot half fat yogurt
1 x sackful of spicey goodness (curry powder, paprika, pepper, salt, something else i can't remember)
1 x drizzle of extra virgin olive oil
1 x bunch of clingfilm
1 x 1/2 pouch of brown rice

zomg, this went really well - v tasty, although attempted very late in the evening. i even found time for ten minutes marinating.

Favourite Implement Of The Meal: brand new pyrex dish. great!

Quaint Comedy Of The Evening: the armstrong & miller show (though not to be viewed near parental support unit, it's a bit blue)

The Lie-In King

Mini Quesadilla Extravaganza
1 x mini fillet o chicken diced to within an inch of its life
1 x soft, floury, wholesome Old El Paso tortilla
1 x handful half-fat mozzy cheese
spice mixture with extra spice: cumin, paprika, pepper, salt, onion powder, garlic salt
1 x mini dash extra virgin olive oil, spread expertly around the pan with my new pastry brush
2 x glob of salsa - one to cook in, one for smearing purposes
1/3 bag of Tilda brown rice - seems such a waste, but dad wouldn't be pressed on the matter so the rest went in the bin...
handful of water to stop the cooking part going very dry and icky
1 x smell of burning chicken

...in which beth realizes her full wok-hypocrisy and burns her own pan. Really must find another lunch-time treat, though(never! ha! i love quesadillas!). Preparing self mentally for the half-fat curry tonight with veggies.

Love: pre-grated half-fat mozzy cheese

Hate: cooking the same thing every day out of simplicity and a desire to find the archetype of half-fat quesadillas

Ambivalent State: incurred by beans today

Dee-licious Snackable Involving Tesco Turkey
2 x ry/i/vita wafted over a carton of quark cheeeese
2 x bits of turkey slices
1 x bucketload of pepper
1 x pinch o salt
1 x diet soda
1 x apple (green)

...in which i grow weary of father-type mess.

Most Sincere Amazon.co.uk Apology: "Beth, we're sorry."

Best Bit Of The Snack: post-prandial cigarette

Up, Bustle & Out

A Relatively Ordinary Breakfast
1 x weetiebix
1 x splishy splash of semi-skimmed milk
1 x half spoon of sweetener to mask weetabix taste thoroughly

weetabix - nom nom nom. with this in mind, i was ever so pleased to find a reference to a "high-fibre wholegrain cereal" as a breakfast option in my now-hallowed bible.

in an attempt to prevent white-of-the-egg based complications, i went a-hunting in the tesco cereal aisle. surprised to find myself thinking of the non-healthy foods as The Enemy, i was indeed prepared to be scouring the shelves for a sawdust-related by-product of wood. three packs entered and left my basket (price, price, tesco own brand - to be trusted? no.) until i came upon my trusty weetabix. which announced right on the box - high-fibre, wholegrain cereal.

happy to have a little less in the old breakfast department, i must admit.

Day Most Anticipated: my first cheat day, tomorrow. i don't know what i'll have! it will involve pizza or pasta though.
