19 October 2006

Lunch: McDonald's Club Salad with a "large" Diet Coke.

Snack: The rest (1/2 cup or so) of low cal vanillin ice creame with a home made sauce (about 1/2 2% milk, some dark choclate, about a teaspoon of baking power and a pinch of baking soda) nuked in the microwave...

Dinner: Homemade beef stew with stew beef, onions, garlic, carrots and potatoes and "ploppers". "Ploppers" were what I called bisquit "dumplings" when I was a very young child (i.e. 45 to 50 years ago). This is a cup or so of Bisquit with enough water to get it well wetted down and they are then spooned onto the surface of the stew. They are supposed to be more than dumplings; enough flour is supposed to leach off to thicken the stew. (It didn't this time around...)

The stew was slow cooked from about 7:30 am to around 5:45 pm. There was no danger of it being undercooked...
