Quesadillllas v3.0
2 x macro-fillets of chicken
1/4 can of chick peas, for terrorism purposes
dollop of salsa
2 x the longest-lasting tortillas in the world, ever! volume 1
1 x sackful black pepper and the usual array of spices
1/6 tescos bag of Substance X
4 x huffy half-fat mozzy balls
...in which chick peas were found to explode loudly when exposed to microwaves, mozzy balls are outed as fickle beasts and Substance X is revealed to be an alien substance known as quinoa. it's pronounced keen-wah, you know. i didn't have the heart (or the appetite) to eat the chick peas in the end - their sad, empty husks lie now in my sink.
Interesting Cover Discovered On Radio 1 By Happy Accident: Teardrop by Massive Attack covered by people that sounded like Audioslave, but i don't know - i thought Jose Gonzales did a cover, too.
Temper Flared By: southern radio presenter declaring the tyne bridge to be over-rated.
Stuff-To-Be-Picked-Out-Of-Teeth Of The Year Award Goes To: quinoa (it's pronounced keen-wah, you know).

Frasier
Meagre Breakfast Which Harley Would Disapprove Of Mightily
2 x slices of wonderful seedbread (i call it lembas in my head)
2 x smidgens of scraped butter (the horror! the horror!!)
1 x smoothie from aldi which will probably turn out to be soylent green
1 x pilfered handful of sunflower seeds
1 x shrink-wrapped turkey rasher
after peeling myself off've the excercise bike, i really couldn't face an egg-white, so i just had toast. and then i remembered my soylent smoothie, so i popped that on the table to make it look more healthy, then i thought "no protein!" and was less dead by this time so i bunged one rasher of turkey bacon in the microwave with the clingfilm to prevent nasty yuk. this did not go well, but i do now have a shrink-wrapped turkey rasher in my kitchen. in years to come, advanced civilisations will discover my plastic rasher and declare that the northpeople in ancient times struggled against the odds to provide polymer food disguised as meat.

Just Shoot Me
1 x five minutes excercise bike hell
2 x bunch of biceps n triceps shenanigans
1 x not-so-sneaky-any-more core excercise thing - i'm whupping its ass
1 x five minutes excercise bike cardio fat-burning bit that supposedly burns more at the end or something (i read the book, but i don't claim to understand it fully - if i did, surely i wouldn't be in the position of a fat lass writing a diet blog??)
ew, gross! i just looked up "Shenanigans" in google to check my spelling and there's a club in Indiana that's "where couples go for fun". well, i couldn't budge my dad from gordon ramsey's kitchen nightmares last night, so i had to re-arrange my "no-excercise day" two days into the plan. and i was looking forward to doing this thing to the letter, too [half of a half of a twix notwithstanding]. so i had to bustle myself out of bed early and flop onto the wobbly excerise bike of doom before i even thought about breakfast.

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.

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?
