Tuna Noodle Casserol (a recipie...)

Rectangular noodles: boil up enough for 3 or 4 cups of cooked noodles. (I'm not very precise on this measurement; better to have too much than not enough; you can freeze the leftovers).

Two cans of tuna (try for the mammal free...)

Two cans of cream of mushroom soup

a cup or two of sliced sharp cheddar cheese

Mix the ingredients together and place in a large casserol dish. Crumple several (3 to 5 that is) handfulls of potatoe chips on top of the mixure. Bake for perhaps 15 minutes at the standard temperatue: 325 F!

Lunch: An Arby Southwest Chicken club salad and one of their new roast beef "Gyros". It was good but really all I can say is: the genuine Greek restraunts have nothing to fear from this!!!

Dinner: As a joke, I suggested my "tuna noodle casserol". My wife and her Father thought I was serious and we had that tonight. This is basically, boiled noodles, cans of Tuna (Dolphin free?), cream of mushroom soup mixed and cooked and potatoe chips crumpled on top (I've another blog giving this recipie); boiled brocolli; a Henry Weinhart's Private Reserve beer. It was a fine meal; I also had a half slice of bread...

I had two samwichs (one with sliced meat and the other with chicken salad). The first Crosaunt was slightly stale. It was worth slightly more than what we paid...

Snack: We got home and I ate some peanut butter and then leftover sugar-free-fat-free Choclate pudding.

Bad choice
Very bad choice

Both the peanut butter and the milk in the pudding started the phlem pumps pumping and I kept coughing and hacking and ended up taking some coff medicine. It didn't work so I used my inhalier and that worked...

It was "Healthy Choice - Flavor Adventures - Chicken Margherita (Chicken Breast with Rib Meat, pasta and Roasted garlic in a balsamic Vinaigrette Sauce)

It was quite good!

Self Absorbed...

Can you think of a more self absorbed blog than me "blogging" what I've eatten that day?

I suppose "blogging" my various blood sugar readings would top it. (I'm a diabetic and have to "test" my blood sugar.) Yeah, it probably would...

Fortunately, it seems like my various blogs do not get mentioned on the "recent blog" postings and so blessed obscurity keeps me from knowing people are going "what a self-absorbed ass (hole?)!

Well, it might come in handy for me some day and it certainly helps me keep track (sort of) of what I eat. That has servival value for me even if it lacks amusement value for others...

22 April 2006

Breakfast: bran flakes and half a peanut butter samwich (which was in the freezer...I had been eatting it last week and suddenly got a feeling of incredible fullness.

But, then, I've had horrendously high evening scores and reasonably low morning scores (a score of 119 for a fasting scroe the morning of the 11^th, that is). Maybe I'll repeat what I had for dinner tonight (that being the evening of the 11^th; I am writing this the morning of the 11th...)

Lunch: At Casey's cowntown: Chicken fried chicken, mashed potatoes, cottage cheese and a couple of Diet Pepsis. I had originall asked for corn but got green beens; there was "another party" there today and Casey's cook gave them all the corn; the cook said that if he'd given me the corn, one of these other guests would not have gotten any. I wasn't pleased with this. The waitress (a new one) took forever to bring me the cottage cheese and I had to ask her a couple of times to get me a refill on the Diet Pepsi. I don't know what she brought me the first time she brought a refill but it damn sure was not a Diet Pepsi. My wife thinks they haven't flushed the drink pipes lately. We're getting tired of being treated as 2^nd class guests! Casey knows that we'll be there every week (Wednesdays) and the 2^nd Thursday of each month and is taking us for granted.
