[Crankin]

As far as broken rules, well...

L: cup of lentil soup, 2pieces of some cheese I got as a gift, very small ww wheat roll, and an apple
S: hummus, 3 pita chips, glass off wine after a 4 mile hike
D: Chinese food: I didn't overdo, didn't eat the orange beef (fried). Had a little of pork and ginger, chicken and walnuts, spicy eggplant and brown rice, with a cup of corn and chicken soup, one beer

I would have been fine if I had been able to resist the large container of multiple home-made goodies at my friends house. The more beer I drank the better they looked As far as actual food is concerned I didn't do too badly.

It's another day.
I put the double chocolate chip cookies my friend made in the freezer.
I forgot to mention I ate one of those cookies after lunch yesterday and then a small square of fudge after dinner.

Breakfast today began with:

cornflakes with skim milk + fresh cut pineapple, tea with milk.....and a piece of chocolate mousse cake from Christmas dinner. Gosh this will take awhile to whittle down.

But in my mind, eating a piece at beginning of day is better than at the end.

Today is indeed another day...

B: egg whites with a bit of no-fat cottage cheese and turkey bacon

S: chocolate chip cookies...the remainder are now in the freezer

L: apple with no-fat cottage cheese

Dietary beer goggles, Catrin?

I made a batch of shortbread (chai-flavored), and my mom made multiple batches of various Goan sweets (the cookies are incredibly addicting), in addition to what my great aunt sent us. Plus there's the tray of baklava, and the cake, and...
I swear I ride my bike so that I can keep eating dessert.

B: whole grain cereal with pecans with milk
S: latte
L: Turkey sandwich (with cheese, lettuce and cranberry sauce), some low-salt chips, half a slice of pizza
fast, slightly chilly 18-mile bike ride
S: An embarrassing number of cookies, tea with milk and half-and-half

half-and-half

What do you mean by half-and-half? Sorry for the dumb question but I am not a native speaker. I tried to google it and it turned out that it can mean different things. I like reading this forum because every time I learn something new.

To elaborate a little more - it's sold here in the US in our dairy sections (next to milk and cream). It's what lots of people use in coffee or tea.

For some odd reason, it used to be called cereal milk - though it's rich enough that I can't imagine anyone would use it as milk in cereal.

[Anelia]

Thank you very much for the explanation.
Today:
B: pancake made from oats, 3 eggs and cottage and white cheese
L (3 p.m.): white beans and pork
D: I'm visiting my DH's cousin and I don't know the menu but I cooked this. It's a kind of traditional Bulgarian bread but I put 2 types of cheeses and butter in it. It's made with yeast.

I think it's just that tastes have changed. I'm betting people used to use whole milk in their cereal...

I also think bowls have gotten larger, and serving sizes have increased.....

I have actually heard 1/2 and 1/2 for cereal....
