I'm eating a bowl of baby carrots with ranch dressing for dipping sauce and a glass of water.

Everything but the water sounds good to me; but seeing as it is following your Hot Wings on Monday Night = sounds more like penance, lol.

I make a very unhealthy dip from on package Philadelphia brand Cream cheese and one medium jar of Marshmallow Fluff whipped together. Once it is made you slice up apples to dip in it; and it is hugely addictive to eat. Expect to love every bite of the pound you gain from that "Healthy" apple treat, lol. My children beg for it every year for a snack while waiting for Thanksgiving and Christmas dinners to hit the table, and usually clean it out before the meal is served;

Lol, geez, you may as well mix up some cream cheese icing to dip the apples in (which would be really good too)!

*mALX runs to kitchen to try icing and apples...*

I'm eating Hot Pockets and Fruit Punch.

Coffee.

Ferrero Roche’ balls at work

Urk, not my favorite candy.

Khajiit loves them! Lol

I think they have truffles or nuts (or both) = I'm allergic to nuts, and don't care much for truffles. So they fall really low on my list of candy I love, lol. The only thing they DO have that I love is chocolate, lol.

Yeah people with a nut allergy definitely shouldn’t eat these. The whole thing has Hazlenut throughout!

Yeah, I'd get anaphylactic from them, lol.

Off brand Dr. Pepper and a Hot Pocket.

Ate today's Xmas Day lunch with my brother at one of two local Oriental all-you-can eat buffets (which also features some non Oriental entrees). Same eatery we ate our Xmas day meal at last year. Boy was it good! Boy did I overeat!!!!!!

First up, a pretty large salad plate. Mostly same ingredients used in my own supper salads. Except this restaurant salad tasted scrumptious, rather than mediocre to crappy as my homemade salads tend to be.

Second, an overfull plate of various Oriental entrees over a bed of white race. Egg Noodle Soup and a roll. Eaten with chopsticks.

Third: Ham, fried potatoes and lima beans. I hit bottom partway through this course but manfully stuck it out to the not-at-all bitter end. Yummy.

No dessert of any sort, as is my practice. (They have an excellent dessert bar, as my brother can attest.)

Water to drink as always (except at breakfast, when I drink milk).

My one complaint is the same I voiced last year. Whatever oil(s} (???) the restaurant cooks its Oriental entrees in is overly sweet and bland for my taste. Our other Oriental all-you-can-eat eatery is appreciably better in this regard, though the quality of its food does not equal where we ate today.

The food so overwhelmed me that I napped from shortly after returning home (1300) until circa 1740!

Tonight's supper consisted of a toasted whole-grain bread slide with butter substitute. I'd have done without altogether except that my migraine preventative doses require food and/or milk. As I've only enough milk for tomorrow's breakfast, bread was the logical choice for accompanying my medicine.

Glad you enjoyed your Christmas Lunch D, especially since you didn’t get to spend Thanksgiving with your bro.

Your Christmas traditional (Chinese Restaurant with your Brother) dinner sounds wonderful; and it is so good to hear you really enjoying your meal so much! Really sorry about you having to suffer the migraine afterward though.

** That migraine actually could be caused by eating at the Chinese restaurant; because they are known to load their food heavily with MSG flavor enhancer. (MSG is well known to cause migraines).

Hmmm...I think you misinterpret something. Or I said it wrong, which is just as likely. I suffered no migraine from my Xmas Day lunch. The preventative mentioned is the same I take twice daily (morning with breakfast, evening with supper) every day of my life to help prevent attacks, or at least reduce their frequency. What happened after the meal is that it so overwhelmed me I napped the afternoon away, then after my minuscule "supper" for medicinal purposes and a little web usage (including posting my previous update here) ended up napping much of the evening too, and still got a decent if short of ideal amount of overnight sleep. (It wouldn't have been enough had I not napped so much during the day.)

UPDATE of sorts: Alas, Walmart was out of eggs during my Monday grocery run. The section they are housed in was empty!!!!! No eggs for poor decrepit me this week.

Oh, okay! I did not understand that; I'm sorry.

** Oh no, no eggs?

Geez, how can a place run out of eggs?!! Whenever Khajiit goes in Walmart there’s always a ton of eggs!

Chickens on strike mebbe?

That’s got to be it. We must find new ways to motivate them. Let’s show them a bag of frozen Tyson chicken parts. Khajiit bets their productivity will go up tenfold.

Perhaps this person can find new ways to motivate them...

I trust mr Decrepit had his annual dinner with Brother™ at Chinese place?

He did! And gave us a nice report about 8 posts up.

Thanks, Acadian

I rarely visit this thread or else I would have seen his post. It made me wanna go to my local Thai restaurant btw...

Lol, that’s what Khajiit was referencing! Good job!

I jumped back up in the past couple days, much to my chagrin. Since I have been back home for Winter Break, I haven't been able to work out like I want to (although the impending end of the semester cut into work out time then as well). The past couple months or so has seen more dessert consumed than I should have been having. Luckily it hasn't been detrimental like it would have been in the past, but it is still a bit frustrating. So I have stagnated on losing the last 5-10 pounds that I want to get rid of for months. It finally caught up with me a bit, so I am going to cut back again.

I went to the juice bar near my house for both lunch and dinner, which I go to regularly when I am back home. Had a Strawberry Chicken wrap for lunch, which had several different veggies and feta cheese in a garlic wrap. I hadn't ordered that in quite a while, so I figured it would be a good time. For dinner, I had my favorite item from the juice bar, a smoothie with banana, honey, non-fat frozen yogurt, and soy milk. Both were quite yummy. I am considering doing it again tomorrow.

Sure it was Decrepit's dinner that made you want to visit the Thai restaurant? Not ...















Sounds delicious!

Just had some tacos mmmmm.

Actually, they have no female staff there so when I go it really is just for the food!

Welp, got up to go put some coffee on and we are out of our usual coffee. Found a can of old Cafe du Monde brand that had enough in it. When Khajiit says its old, he means a couple of years so not sure how good this is going to be.

*Khajiit tastes it*
Not too bad with the cream and sugar and from sprinkling a little cinnamon in the brewing basket on top of the coffee. Cinnamon helps mask any unpleasant taste.

Just had my morning coffee and last night's pizza.

I had Jalapeno pizza with hot cocoa, lol.

Just had Khajiit’s traditional New Year’s Day dinner:
Oven roasted pork tenderloin (with a reduced rootbeer glaze which is not traditional)
Cajun style black eyed peas with hog jowl, cooked all day in a slow cooker
Brown rice
Cornbread

Coffee and birthday cake.

Tell me about it! Weighed myself just prior to today's shower. I'm 4-5 pounds heavier than I was last weigh-in, which occurred last Monday, several hours prior to my big Xmas Day lunch. As I've done no splurging since that lunch, most if not all my gain surely came from there. It doesn't help that I can no longer get in daily walks due to too cold weather.

As for my "normal" daily diet, it remains pretty much the same as always. Oatmeal with banana, cinnamon and sweetener along with a grass of skim milk for breakfast. Soup or occasionally a Wowbutter sammich for lunch, with half a Fuji apple for dessert. Salads for supper with a hard boiled egg on the side for supper, with the rest of my Fuji for dessert. No sweets (candy, ice-cream, cake, etc.). No junk foods (chips and so on). Nothing to drink that isn't skimmed milk or water. No between meal snacking. Boring yes. But once I sufficiently winged myself off most unhealthy foods and drinks I find I have no cravings for them whatsoever. That said, there are certain foods I don't dare take a bite of for fear of becoming immediately addicted again. And of course foods I allow myself during occasional restaurant "splurge" meals but won't allow in my house.

For today's odd combination of food/drink, I just ate some beef jerky while drinking coffee.

Pink lady apples and mountain dew code red.

I'm making the sauce for this afternoon's spaghetti and meatballs. The wine just hit the pan, and it smells way too good in here for 11 am. My cold coffee is not cutting it any more!

*stomach rumbling*

*looking for closest wayshrine to Grits' house*

I hear ya, Grits! Same thing here when I make my sauce as well!

Tonight we will be having a beef and tomato casserole my big sister made for us. She put it all together, all we need to do is pop it in the oven. Yummy! She brought lunch yesterday too - homemade tomato-carrot soup, and biscuit sammies made with ham, cheese and sliced pickles, topped with mustard-butter glaze. Went to work yesterday afternoon feeling quite satisfied . . .

The wine usually gets intercepted on its way, when I make it. <= pour it here.

I miss making homemade spaghetti sauce. My recipe gives the missus heartburn, though. Even tossing in a few carrots doesn't work.

Her stomach is probably sensitive to the acid in the tomatoes.

Coffee, chips and an apple.
