Hot days

Day 29 – Too hot to eat

It is still spring but you would not know it since the weather in the last couple of days as been simply crazy. Today is the 3rd day in a row of above 30 degrees. Despite the tutle I did eat today but just not except lots of fruit and veg…mmm

No aircon in the house means that after 3 days of hotness it seeps through meaning the whole house now is about the same as outside temp. Considering I have to study for exams…we aren’t going too well in that department. I really should be studying now but currently too bothered too try.

Till tomorrow…although another hot day.

Snack – Muesli bite

Day 28 – Carman’s muesli bite

I always love a bit of muesli mixed with fruit and at the moment I just happen to have Carman’s. Having never tried them before this week, I have heard lot of good things about them. Although i am disappointed they do not contain nuts. But I guess that is understandable since they are marketing it to the section of the market which have allergies. I guess trying to cater for all.

I like the “bites” idea since then the tiny portion wants me to savour the taste.

In the range there is quite a few different flavours and I might give them a try down the track but now I sill have about 7 left in the box to go… :D

Random – Multivitamin

Day 27 – Centrum

I believe that getting enough vitamins and minerals is essential any day of the week. So I decide to take a multi-vitamin every day. It gives me whatever that I am lacking in my diet.

Although I think what most people do not realise is that no matter how may vitamins you take, as the end of the day a balance diet is also important. But it is always better to have to safety blanket and it isn’t too much trouble.

Have you had yours?

Out and about – Beef baguette and pizza/pasta

Day 25 & 26 – Baguette and pizza/pasta 

Beef baguette – from degraves St.Have been way too busy in the last couple of days due to exams and haven't had much time to get on the internet… :(

Haven't been able to write about anything but more so the fact that last night I was catching up on blog reading and there was about 30 or 40 blog updates that I as reading through. Nevertheless, it is all fun, well except for the exam part of course.

The beef baguette was from the baguette shop on degraves. Not the really expensive one that tastes fantastic outside the station entrance and next to the waffle place (will go there another day). This is the one that is usually packed with people lining up to buy. Well at $4 a baguette who could resist and probably one of the cheapest and decent lunches that you can have anywhere.

The baguette itself was fantastic. A thin layer of butter, then mustard and a couple slices of beef (cooked to perfection and not too chewy), rocket and a decent amount of cracked pepper.. Mmmm definitely go back there for a cheap and quick lunch.

Pizza/pasta – la Porchetta Doncaster

Happened to be another friend’s birthday and he choose to eat La Porchetta. We just got the usual stuff to share. Ac couple of pizzas and pasta is good food to feed many. Usually I am not too keen on pizza from la Porchetta due to the fact they put way too much salt. But surprisingly this place didn’t follow the trend of the La Porchetta that I usually go to. So it was quite enjoyable. :D

On another note, sometimes I really hate spring…my nose just never stops running due to hay fever… :(

Snack – Fruit and nuts

Day 24 – fruit and nuts

Conforming to my recent good healthy habits…some fruit and nut are perfect way to snack although just make sure you don’t have too much. Even though they are good for you it is still high in kilojoules… :(

Fruit – Grapefruit

Day 23 – Grapefruit

Trying to be more healthier (well just eating less rubbish than usual), I started my day today with a grapefruit. Now this variety was ruby red and surprisingly it is red inside and not boring yellow.

It was actually rather bitter, more so than ones that I have had in the past…hmmm…but still nice and fresh tasting. I guess it is this bitterness rather than so sweetness that makes it good. :D

Snack – Lindt chocolate 70% cocoa

Day 22 – Lindt Excellence chocolate 70% cocoa

One of my all time favourite brand of chocolate is Lindt and out of that range my most preferred is their dark chocolate. Depending on what mood I am in, I sometimes even venture out to the really bitter side of 85%.

Today I had the 70% mainly because there was a free giveaway at the supermarket. It is exactly how i remember it to be. Not too bitter, a bit of sweetness but not too much and just the right creaminess and smoothness.

I am also an avid fan of the other types on offer although one that I didn’t really like was chilli (I am usually a very chilli person)…hmm maybe after another go I might like it more?…
