At last an update, you exclaim! Why so long, you ask? Well, something must have been seriously wrong with me because save a bowl of porridge over the weekend, I pretty much did a 40 hour famine! I know! I voluntarily didn't eat! I must have been sick or crazy. I was in one of my fussy moods again. Nothing seemed good enough to eat. I even turned down pizza! I finally broke my fast yesterday at lunch. I met up with Ma on her lunch break. I ordered a spicy chicken panini and a hot chocolate. I also finally got to try biscotti. I picked chocolate and mixed nut flavour. It is was much more flavourful than I thought it would be. Sweet and crunchy. Might have to eat me some biscotti more often. Lunch seriously filled me up though. I guess it was like an overload to my stomach after being empty for so many hours. I thought I might explode. Eventually, I digested and dinner was made possible. I made a two very satisfying pesto and parmesan toasted sandwiches. I've decided parmesan is one of my favourite cheeses. It's nice and mild. I can even it it plain, which I don't normally do. It also goes in a lot of my favourite Italian dishes. It went perfectly with pesto because it didn't overpower it. I finished up my day with a caramel slice because y'know I needed to make up for my low calorie intake from the previous day. Well, it seemed as good an excuse as any.... It was really yummy, in case you were wondering. Muffin Break make the best caramel slices. But the ones at Botany seem to be the best. The other branches ones don't look as good. Of course, the best caramel slices are probably home made but I lost my recipe. I got happy memories of Alana and I making 'em though. Mmmm... caramel... and chocolate... and biscuit. A good combo.
I'm rambling lots today. Anticipate lots of food porn coming soon though because today is Dad's birthday and there were rumours of a cake being made. Tomorrow we are going out to Thai for dinner. Then on Wednesday I am eating lunch with Jenny. I'm thinking Japanese for that but we'll see. It'll be a good fooding week, I expect. My tummy is excited.
I apologise for the lack of pictures. I wanted to upload a picture of the biscotti but Blogger wouldn't let me.Labels: dessert, home-cooking |
