Food Diary Day 5

I used my new slow cooker to make soup today.  It was okay but I think I need a bigger slow cooker since after I put in all the ingredients it was full to the brim.  And I only made my usual amount too.  It is nice to have a meal all cooked and ready for when we get back from work though.  I can’t wait to do stews in winter, the fragrance of the stew as we come up to our front door will be heaven!

Today giant air coolers were brought in to supplement our air conditioning system at work.  They work really well, too well in fact as it was really cold after a while!  I found a little cockroach crawling across my mousemat and I suspect it came from the air cooler nearest me.  But it shouldn’t be a problem since I didn’t see anymore after that lone one.  Anyway I took some tissue, picked it up and offered to show it to my colleagues but they freaked out and told me to go away.  Hahaha.  Good job I’m not like them otherwise what’d I do with the cockroach?  One of my colleagues even wanted to call out a technician to come get rid of the cockroach until I told her I’d caught it and thrown it away.  So funny these people.

Food Diary Day 5

Lunch – Salad of bbq grilled chicken breast slices with olives, sundried tomatoes, cherry tomatoes and cucumber slices on a bed of raw spinach.  I was clever this time and sprinkled a bit of salt all over the raw spinach which wilted it a bit so it was much easier to eat.  No spinach stalks up nostrils this time!

Snack – Three quarters very ripe banana

Snack – Four tangerines

Dinner – One big bowl red and green carrots with spare ribs soup

Dessert – Weeny bit of muesli with milk

Drink – Peppermint tea

Drink – Water

Exercise

Rowed 2000 metres (approx 13 minutes)

35 minutes on weight machines

Phew.  I feel so knackered, it’s been a long week.
