What did you have for lunch yesterday?
Yesterday was leftovers — salmon, mashed potatoes, and broccoli.
Did you have a dessert, and if so, what was it?
I didn’t. I don’t typically have dessert at lunch unless I’m craving sweets.
Do you have a sweet tooth?
I do but it’s more manageable than when I was younger. I used to eat all the sweet things all the time – cookies, candy, ice cream, cakes. It was delightful. When I went gluten free a lot of those things dropped off my allowed list so I think my sweet tooth reset. Now it comes in waves.
I read recently that a leading manufacturer has reduced the amount of cocoa in their chocolate biscuits, and it is now referred to as chocolate flavoured. Would you still buy such a product knowing that the chocolate actually isn’t.
Probably not. I would definitely think harder about the purchase because if they’re using less cocoa and calling it “chocolate flavoured” then they’re adding something to create the chocolate taste. Honestly at this point I’d almost rather have the chocolate itself.

The first few trees locally I’ve spotted with leaves turning a bright orange, access to the flu shot, and two kitties who snuggle with me when I’m feeling puny from said vaccine.

Another one for the delights of leftover food, throw it in the wok and fry away

Thanks for joining in Laura. One of the best meals over Christmas is left overs! I don’t usually cook enough for that now, but then, I don’t cook as much as I did as Hubby still has digestive problems so we stick with what we know is safe for him. Sounds bad, doesn’t, but when we first got married, he ended up in hospital. I told the doc it wasn’t my cooking, but he said actually it was as Hubby was used to the English diet (chips with everything) and he couldn’t handle healthy foods! We progressed over the years, but now seem to be full circle, less portions, ready meals, soup or sandwiches.

Oh my…to have a doctor look you in your eyeballs and say your cooking put him in the hospital 😂🤣. That’s a story. I think we all find ways to work within our food requirements. Nothing bad about that!

It was funny in a weird sort of way. We eat well bit quantities are smaller and I don’t fry anything except maybe eggs or pancakes, and even then with very little fat.

like you, I love leftovers, I’ll even eat them for breakfast. and don’t eat foods when there are only -ish’s of the real thing, like chocolate.

Right? It’s a little like I won’t eat ice milk or sugar free ice cream when the real stuff is right there. I like myself too much for that sort of behavior😂🤣
