a hobbitty breakfast

Today I had what has fast become my favorite weekend-breakfast since I'm eating like Cornell... what I call a 'hobbitty' breakfast. As it has nice, crispy bacon, tomatoes and that age old favorite of the little guys with the hairy feet: mushrooms. Who wouldn't make a shortcut to those? Anyway:
I took 6 small slices of bacon, three tomatoes (in slices) and 200 grams of champignons (mushrooms, also in slices. First baking the bacon, then adding the mushrooms, followed by the tomatoes. Added a bit of currypowder and pepper, and then some of my favorite ingredient: sweet chili sauce. Hmmm... With some hot coffee: delicious...
Tomorrow I'll have more.
I lunched on radishes. Hardly any calories but filling. Though I think these are better in combination with something. They have a really distinctive taste.

Yesterday I ate with my brother: lasagnette, so I didn't keep the 'rules', but at the birthdayparty I managed to say 'no' to chips and snacks and munch on the cucumber. For lunch yesterday I had half a pineapple and lots of strawberries. mmmm.... Who needs bread?

Fit for a Hobbit

I decided I could teach Jamie Oliver a thing or two about nudity. The stir fried chicken, courgette and mushrooms have no seasoning whatsoever. And the flavour could have tempted a gourmet who had just devoured a horse, as dessert.

All this was laid on a bed of my never ending pile of iceberg lettuce (now I know why they compare the thing to a mountain) and tucked in under a blanket of paprika and radish. Since I wanted to give Jamie a break in a seriously unfair fight, I squirted on some curry. Yeah, baby!

But the sheer size of that plate! It's inhumane! I worked hard but it got the better of me. In my defence, I had been snacking during the afternoon. A bit of emotional eating actually. Carrots, nuts, grapes, cherries - I had been studying hard and hit a wall, so I resorted to one of my stress-relief tactics - munching. Still, I hadn't eaten that much. Man, was that plate a pile. I'll have the rest for breakfast. Or lunch. Thank goodness I actually forgot to add the double-slam -bang ingredient - mixed nuts... wow, that could have gotten ugly.

You know, it's funny. My mom, who is a wizard in the kitchen - an exceptionally creative cook - complained that with this new starch-free eating style of mine it would be almost impossible to whip up a decent meal. I think I need to show her this blog. People somehow associate healthy with difficult. I really don't know why. It's never been so easy for me to cook good food. I don't even have to plan it. I just buy fresh ingredients and throw them all together. What's the big deal? Try ordering a Big Mac without the tomato. That can be tricky. Getting yourself a half decent frozen pizza, now that's tough. And getting it to taste good is so close to impossible you could see the pores with your eyes shut. This, this is a piece of cake (without the cake).

My friends, especially the female ones, sometimes ask me why I don't have a girl friend. It's simple. I'm old fashioned - I want a woman who can outcook me!
